Dior Eau Sauvage, launched in 1966 as the first men’s fragrance of the House of Dior, was created by master perfumer Edmond Roudnitska and became an instant icon of French elegance. Revolutionary for its time, it spotlighted hedione, a luminous jasmine note, blended with bright San Carlo bergamot, fresh citrus facets, aromatic herbs, and a refined woody base for a clean yet sensual trail. Embodying the idea of timeless masculinity, the fragrance was immortalized by Alain Delon in its campaigns, and it remains a benchmark men’s perfume for those seeking a fresh, masculine, and effortlessly sophisticated signature.
