Dior Sauvage eau de toilette for men appeared on the market relatively recently - in September 2015. But it was a rather expected event. An impressive advertising campaign, a well-known brand - all this guaranteed a high demand for Dior Sauvage. Customer reviews were sharply undressed after they tried the new perfume. Some people love and some people hate this scent. Durability, the Dior Sauvage pyramid, reviews from real customers - we will talk about all this later in the article.
New release
The "father" of this fragrance is François Dimashi, the chief perfumer of the Dior fashion house. Sauvage means wild in French, which is the main idea of the perfume. François Dimachy stated in an interview that only high-quality natural substances were used in the creation of the fragrance, and sometimes in somewhat excessive doses. This is a perfume that, inspired by wildlife,vast desert spaces and free wind.
Sauvage Dior Perfume is the fragrance of the modern man. He looks after himself, looks attractive, but he has a core and fortitude.
Advertising campaign
Johnny Depp became the face of the perfume, which immediately played in favor of sales. The commercial on the official channel of Christian Dior was watched by more than 24 million viewers, many of whom immediately became eager to get the coveted bottle. No wonder - after all, the charismatic and courageous Johnny Depp not only plays the electric guitar, but also embarks on a journey through the Californian desert. There he meets some of the most famous representatives of the American fauna: a buffalo, an eagle and a wolf. Under the influence of majestic nature, the actor decides to throw off his worldly tinsel and symbolically bury all his costume jewelry in the middle of the desert. Then he enjoys the primordial wildness of the desert surrounding him. The video was directed by Jean Baptiste Mondin. Impressive pictures taken at the same location have graced the pages of many glossy magazines.
Perfume Pyramid
Man's fragrances are often created with a minimum number of notes. But Dior Sauvage has a rather complicated pyramid:
- top notes are pepper and Calabrian bergamot;
- heart notes - geranium, lavender, pink pepper, patchouli, vetiver, Chinese pepper, elemi;
- base notes - labdanum, white cedar, ambroxan.
Sauvage Dior cost
The price of the fragrance is predictably high,because it belongs to luxury perfumery. A 60 ml bottle will cost 4-5.5 thousand rubles, and 100 ml - 5.5-7.5 thousand rubles.
In addition, there is a whole line of personal care products on sale: aftershave lotion, aftershave balm, shower gel and deodorant (in the form of a spray or stick) - all with Sauvage Dior fragrance. The price of these products is also very high. Lotion and balm cost about 3-3.5 thousand rubles, and gel and deodorants - about 2 thousand rubles. each.
What do customers like about Dior Sauvage?
Reviews from fans of the fragrance note that this is a fairly classic men's perfume. A bright and fresh start to the sound of the fragrance will appeal to men of all ages. However, with the opening, the smell becomes more intense, spicy and even slightly sweet. The rich woody base only enhances this impression. Therefore, Sauvage is still not a youth fragrance, but a perfume for men over 30 years old. It sounds expensive, stylish, according to buyers - elegant, sophisticated, but at the same time cozy. The scent stays on the skin for quite some time and has a noticeable sillage.
There is no consensus about durability: someone praises the fragrance, says that it lasts for several days, even despite taking a shower, and someone, on the contrary, is dissatisfied with the “price-resistance” ratio. But this parameter is highly dependent on the skin of the perfume wearer.
Another important factor that many buyers mention is that women like this fragrance, and they even give compliments about it and wonder what kind of perfume it is. Perhaps this is causedusing classic components for men's perfumery, which are associated with masculinity and strength. It's a scent that can be worn all day long.
Negative opinions
And what were the buyers of Dior Sauvage dissatisfied with? Reviews find many flaws in this perfume.
Many were misled by the advertising campaign and expected a fresher fragrance. He is also often reviled for lacking the "zest" and personality that should have accompanied a perfume that represents the eccentric Johnny Depp.
As mentioned above, the author of this fragrance promised to use only natural ingredients. This is quite logical, given the image of the fragrance. But according to the impressions of buyers, only bergamot is natural in it, and all other notes are synthetic and, accordingly, do not smell very natural and rich. Given the price of the perfume, this is a big minus.
Another disadvantage (which, however, is a virtue for many) is the intensity of the fragrance, which is similar to the fragrances of the 80s and 90s and has gradually fallen out of fashion, giving way to lighter scents. For some, this is a big plus, but for some, the smell seems suffocating.
Therefore, it is best to test Dior Sauvage personally, so as not to be disappointed with the purchase or, on the contrary, not to miss this interesting fragrance.
