Launched in 2007 by Dior and crafted by François Demachy, Eau Sauvage Fraicheur Cuir is a modern interpretation of the classic Eau Sauvage. This fragrance opens with the vibrant freshness of Amalfi lemon, which contrasts beautifully with the warmth and depth of Virginia cedar and leather in its heart. The base notes of leather and amber create a subtle smoky and powdery finish that lingers on the skin, making it feel both fresh and sophisticated.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance to your pulse points for a steady release throughout the day. The Amalfi lemon top note fades quickly, so it's best to layer with the woody and leather base notes to maintain its full character. This scent reads better close to skin than from across a room, making it perfect for daytime wear.
