This is by far the most overrated fragrance on the market. When I started in the world of perfumery, whenever I researched, everyone praised this fragrance above all others, the one with guaranteed compliments, the ‘that’s why it’s the best-seller,’ the ‘its only flaw is its massification.’ I’m here to talk about what this fragrance truly is: it’s very simple. One of the negative factors people mentioned was its longevity; I’m going to tell you that it has great longevity and projection; it’s not a beast mode, but for a blue fragrance, it’s excellent. However, the most important thing is the scent, and here I disagree with the fans. The idea of being a magnet for compliments is false; you might get compliments for wearing perfume, but to the female sex (girls under thirty aren’t attracted to it, nor do they dislike it, it’s something ‘X’, although if you can make them think you’re a nerd for using gentleman fragrances) it doesn’t attract them, mainly because it’s not sparkly, daring, eye-catching, or sexual. It’s formal and simple; it makes you think of what an office worker who wears a suit all day smells like. The scent is basic, it smells clean, like a proper guy, with a touch of formality that gives it maturity for those over thirty-five; under that age, you’ll look like you’re trying to appear older, as it’s not a fragrance a young person would look good with. In extreme heat, its scent changes, and in the cold, it loses performance. Outside of those extremes, it’s versatile. Let’s talk about the controversy and its ‘massification’: the Dior Sauvage scent isn’t something I’ve ever smelled before where I live, as nobody uses perfume, but because it’s so simple, it smells familiar, like what anyone smells like after a shower. People might think it’s just your pH and not that you’re wearing perfume; it’s that unvibrant. In conclusion, a perfect fragrance for people between thirty and forty-five years old, serious, formal, proper, and smells like what you think an office worker should smell like. Scent 7/10, Longevity 8/10, Projection 8/10, Sillage 10/10, Compliments 6/10, Sprays 6/10.
I tried it in-store by spraying it on my wrist. I really liked the scent; it’s the classic blue that serves you for everything; the best part is that it does project, and even after 8 hours, I could still smell it. I think it’s an investment worth it. I’m more of a marine scent person, but if I can ever get this, I will.
Want to save almost $100? Go buy Club De Nuit Urban Elixir; I won’t say more.
Great fragrance for nighttime, a bit burnt but without losing its touch.
Farewell, Sauvage. Hello to the forum, I’m about 3 ml away from finishing my bottle of Sauvage, a 2018 batch. In the end, I didn’t use it much, leaving me with a bittersweet feeling since it was one of the first fragrances in my collection. Seven years ago, I didn’t have the experience I have today; I let myself be swept up by the hype of cheapies and YouTuber trends, but this fragrance was always a safe choice, becoming less noticeable over time yet still creating good impressions and some female compliments, at least in my personal and professional context. It’s not as fresh as when it was new; its citrus opening isn’t as bright, but now I appreciate its spicy and ambroxan side more. There’s not much more to add to other forum reviews. I don’t think I’ll buy it again, but I recognize that Sauvage became a contemporary classic. I’ve already lived through its cycle at the right time, so farewell Sauvage… a reference fragrance for collectors and casual buyers.
Personally, I just can’t stand this scent. I’m not saying it smells bad, but I don’t like it even a little bit.
I don’t know why people hate it. The fragrance itself isn’t burnt; it’s simply the typical blue DNA, sweet, and fresh youth vibe that every designer brand does. Still, I don’t love it, but I hate it a lot when it’s too good and pleasant.
Sauvage 12 by Holmyy Parfums (available only in Argentina) is better than the original; it takes this fragrance to the next level, a kind of rebirth. At a price that seems like they messed up on how accessible it is, I bought a promo pack of 5 units. The seller said they could be varied. ME: give me 5 Sauvage 12s.
Go straight for the EDP; it’s the winning option.
Sauvage (Dior) is usually a hit, and I get why: it’s fresh, clean, masculine, and incredibly versatile, fitting almost any occasion. It works for work, going out, or when you’re unsure what to wear. However, it doesn’t stand out for complexity; it has a clear, safe structure but lacks that soulful or mysterious touch that would make it truly special. I tried the sample and it’s a correct, effective perfume—a true jack-of-all-trades. That said, don’t expect constant compliments: because it’s so popular, it tends to go unnoticed. It does its job… but it doesn’t surprise.
Legendary perfume. It’s already in the Olympus of Top Sales alongside Aqua di Gio, Bleu de Chanel, One Million, or Invictus. But this is already number 1 in sales. I have the EDT and the EDP. The EDT kicks the eau de parfum’s ass 100 times. Much fresher, cleaner, more metallic. Extraordinary. They label it as overplayed, and I love it. It makes people stop buying it, and I haven’t smelled it on the street for months. Check out Anto Parfum’s video. It’s great. He says that what is now overplayed and smelled everywhere is the Kenzo Homme Edt Intense (a linear and boring as hell perfume). It’s true that it doesn’t perform as before; but it gives you 5-6 glorious hours.
An incredible scent, citrusy and masculine at the start; it’s spicy due to the pepper and can make you sneeze, plus the metallic smell of ambroxan. It’s an all-terrain perfume. You use it for almost everything, except the gym, but it’s for any weather and fits almost any occasion (university, going out, club). The problem is the longevity: the first 2 to 3 hours it’s a beast, projecting a lot (I have an anecdote where I was going to a talk, I thought I was at a forum, but it was in a small room; I sprayed about 12 or 15 times, and I probably hated by those around me; I could hear them sniffing, surely from the pepper itch). After the third hour, it drops a lot; longevity goes from 6 to 8 hours on skin, and it sticks to clothes quite a bit, so I’ve left clothes with its scent. Before I thought it didn’t last at all, and it does, but then I saw that being so strong generates olfactory fatigue, so I don’t bathe in it anymore nor repeat it so often. But yes, its performance isn’t as bad as people mention for the first batch, nor as poor as those from the pandemic era. It’s a scent they say is boring, but it’s popular for a reason, and I love it.
I think it’s my skin, but it smells a bit uncomfortable like detergent/laundry soap. For this reason, I wouldn’t recommend buying it blindly. It smells good from the bottle, but on my skin it smells like cleaning chemicals.
They say it’s overplayed, overrated… a controversial perfume par excellence. Loved by many and hated by others, Dior Sauvage is perfumery history. Few times has the idea of a fresh and versatile men’s perfume been executed better. The best version for me: this one, the original.
I tried it and it smells like liquid detergent or laundry soap; I didn’t like it at all.
This and the Elixir are the only Sauvages you should own. All the others are unnecessary filler.
100% masculine scent, clean and bold. In the opening and first 2 hours, it feels quite metallic/mineral. Once it dries, you understand why it’s one of the best-selling fragrances in history; it’s crazy. Its greatest virtues are versatility and longevity; it’s hard for me to think of a more versatile perfume. Suit for work? It works. Cargo pants, safety boots, and a wrinkled t-shirt? It works. Daily wear, going out at night, dates, formal events? It works. It lasts me longer than a workday on my skin. It’s overplayed, probably people won’t chase you to ask what perfume you’re wearing, but it’s a workhorse; it never fails. If you’ve never worn designer perfumes and are overwhelmed, buy a small bottle of this to start and see what’s up; afterwards, you’ll have plenty of time and options to spend your bonus smelling great.
Those who say it smells like detergent, check well because you probably have a fake. Sauvage EDT is a classic and is always, rich, a wonderful spiced, aromatic, and somewhat less fresh scent (I have the 2025 version). The 2019 version seems fresher with a sweeter lime. A masterpiece no matter how you get it. FOR A REASON IT IS THE BEST-SELLER. Tremendous hit.
One of my favorite fragrances, honestly I don’t smell detergent in it. The only thing I’d wish for is more projection because on my skin it’s not very strong. The longevity is moderate leaning towards strong, but without a doubt, it’s one of my favorites.
The first time I smelled Sauvage, I was fascinated. A neighbor had it on, and I could hear it from across the street. A rare scent back in Mexico (a few years ago, 2017). I loved that ultra-sexy ambroxan, very masculine and captivating. That’s my memory of Sauvage EDT. Nowadays it’s heavily copied and overused, which took away the magic. 9/10.
Sauvage hits hard from the first second: the bergamot and pepper explode with vibrant, spicy freshness, marking a powerful opening. The heart with lavender, anise, and nutmeg adds character and depth. The woody and amber base with ambroxan, sandalwood, tonka, and vanilla leaves an intense, long-lasting trail of quality. It’s undeniable that it’s well-constructed, strong, and present, for men who want to make an impression. However, while I recognize its quality, it’s not my taste. I find it too common and the price excessive for what it offers. Conclusion: it’s impactful and prestigious, but for me, it doesn’t justify the cost versus the experience.
Very rich and sexy!
I started with the EDP, which was indifferent to me, then tried the Elixir, which is a beast, and finally the Parfum. While the mandarin opening of the Parfum was attractive, on my skin it smells like insecticide. All this to say I ended up trying and using the EDT. I agree with the review below: this is for everyone, and that’s its great masculine virtue; it confirms its mass appeal because it solves everything. My special mention is female admiration: in 5 years, whenever I asked any sales associate or woman what the best perfume for men was, or which one they liked most or recommended for going out, 95% without hesitation said Sauvage EDT, some even with emphasis. People, that’s not little.
This fragrance must never die; it has to exist forever. That blend of lavender, cedar, and ambroxan is incredible, it smells like a modern barbershop as my friend Lancharro says! A guaranteed buy for anyone over 35.
It smells very chemical and artificial, but people absolutely love it. It’s very similar to the fresh synthetic vibe of Davidoff’s Cool Water. Although it starts with fruity or peppery notes, we all know it’s about 90% synthetic… it reminds you of something fresh, slightly sweet, and lavender-like. Yes, it’s that typical fresh masculine scent. It’s not unique; you’ve probably heard of it before. It lasts long and is linear. I repeat, it’s not bad, but I’d rather smell it and then look for something cheaper that resembles it; there are plenty.
The fragrance opens with light fruity notes and lots of pepper that gains strength as it dries down. To my taste, it’s attractive; it’s not unique (there are quite a few similar ones) but it works. It’s appealing and you’ll get compliments several times. Sauvage EDT is a perfume you see everywhere; I’m not surprised they say ‘oh, my dad has one just like this.’ Many people have an instinctive rejection of that, but if you haven’t tried it, don’t close yourself off. Give it a try, if you like it use it, if not, that’s it.
When they told me this perfume smelled like a clean man, I didn’t believe it until I tried it. It’s a very soft, quite versatile scent. I use it for university and I like it. I don’t know why I felt it lasted two hours on skin and then vanished, but on clothes and in general I still felt and smelled the perfume after three hours. I’d say it has medium performance, and it’s a good option for a signature and daily perfume.
What a great and versatile scent! Fresh and spicy, I absolutely love that lavender with a hint of pepper on the skin. It works for all seasons and occasions; I wear it to school and everyone smells good. It has a trail but isn’t annoying, and it performs even better in the cold. Perfect for both young and older people.
An excellent all-rounder!
Sauvage is a modern classic that never fails. Fresh, spicy, super versatile, with an imposing masculine vibe. The longevity and projection are top-notch; you make people notice you wherever you go. I recommend it 100%, especially for guys over 30 looking for a signature scent for everyday wear.
About 60% similar to Natura’s Biography and 95% to Colbert Code. I own all three, greetings from CABA!
I understand people want an ‘original’ scent, if there’s such a thing these days, although there’s also a lot of snobbery against Sauvage. Even experts say they’ve smelled it on many people. Let’s be honest: for its price, it’s not accessible to everyone. That said, it’s a perfume bomb and a longtime favorite. It may have the taste of the majority, but for me, that speaks more of its universal character than of a common taste. It says a lot that it became the bestseller and a perfumery classic despite being from 2015 (with so much competition).
This perfume is the perfect detector to stay away from whoever is wearing it. Every time I’ve met users who wear it (which aren’t few, very mainstream), they confirm that there it smells like a mistake, a scam, or a mental imbalance dressed as Dior, or accessible luxury, if you will. If I can ask, I ask that they never discontinue it and that bad taste never evolves; that way the olfactory alarm warns me and makes my life easier. 🤢
I don’t get why people say everyone uses it; if lucky, they put on perfume in my country. It’s not a scent I identify with; it smells like an extroverted, confident man screaming ‘look at me’, the opposite of what I want to project.
One of the fragrances I hate the most. It smells like soap (Ambroxan intoxicating), excessively massified in offices. It reminds me of morning business meetings with a bit shameless sales agents. It evokes unreliable guys, con artists, selling motorcycles. Fragrance for generic and unreliable office types. I respect others’ tastes, but that personality profile is what reminds me of this scent, precisely because of its massive use in offices. Edit: Interesting that, reading comments, user Rockrules made a review very much in the same line.
An excessively used perfume, very ‘overdone’ and annoying. By 2026 it’s very outdated, doesn’t make anyone stand out, and is very forgettable.
I loved this perfume bomb. I’m speaking in the past because I bought it in December 2015 and it lasted me years; it’s so intense that it wasn’t necessary to overapply it. Every time I wore it, my self-esteem went up; I felt sophisticated, elegant, modern, bold. I felt empowered, literally. I left a mark wherever I stepped. It’s expensive, but it’s worth it.
Perfume bomb. Even though it’s already overused, it’s something you should have in your collection: super versatile, incredible scent, and high longevity. Out of my entire collection, it’s the one that flatters me the most.
It took young Sauvage EDT eleven years to become a classic myth. Despite its extreme massification, it still generates that fresh and sweet grace. Its quality was never in doubt, that of the raw materials; maybe its scent, hated or loved, but never unnoticed. A perfume with old-school barbershop vibes that broke the mold in this century of glass. Dior shows its mastery with Eau Sauvage, Fahrenheit, Dior Home Intense, and Sauvage. Today, in 2025, Sauvage EDT remains intact beyond the flankers that perfected it. Its fresh ambered sweetness with pepper is still there, maybe a bit weaker, but with the pride of continuing to be desired by its faithful public in the displays.
If this had a name, it would be ‘Summary for Men’. If you missed out on the perfume world over the last 40 years, you’ll be up to speed in two hours. It’s the average of the average: elegant, serious, with a fresh touch and that dominating Ambroxan, though the spicy notes aren’t doing much. I’d use it, but I wouldn’t pay more than $100. It doesn’t smell as synthetic as people say, but the notes aren’t the best; in the end, it leaves a bit of a Zest soap vibe. Its greatest virtue is that the structure is well thought out. The labdanum and elemi got lost; someone report them. Since it’s average, it works for almost anything except hot beach days. Don’t get me wrong, I’m critical because I expected more from this legend. You’ll like it, it’s made to be liked, there’s a lot to like. It could be worse, it could be Polo 67.
