Born in 1966, Dior Eau Sauvage by master perfumer Edmond Roudnitska revolutionized men’s perfumery as the first to spotlight hedione, a luminous jasmine note, woven into bright citrus and refined woods. Its name, reportedly inspired when Christian Dior greeted friend Percy Savage as “Monsieur Sauvage,” helped define a legend of timeless masculinity that Alain Delon immortalized in iconic campaigns. Extending that heritage, Eau Sauvage Parfum offers a deeper, more sensual take on the signature, fusing sunlit citrus with a warm spicy woody backbone for a refined yet magnetic trail. Described by Dior as deep and full, vibrant and fresh, it amplifies the solar character of the original while adding intensity and modern elegance.
Launch & Perfumer
