A closer look at Dior Sauvage EDT
Sauvage EDT comes from Dior. Perfume fans file it under Aromatic Fougere. This one is the Eau de Toilette.
Longevity on skin
It stays on skin for about 6 to 9 hours, so one spray in the morning can carry you through the day. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. It lasts longer than Creed Viking Cologne. If you want more hours, Dior Sauvage Elixir lasts about 9 to 12 hours. Base notes like ambroxan and cedar are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Sillage and projection
Projection is strong: people around you will notice it. Two sprays are usually enough. It spreads further than Parfums De Marly Sedley and Creed Viking Cologne.
Which weather suits Sauvage
The best time of year to wear it is fall. It is less suited to summer. Ranked by season: fall, winter, spring and summer.
What Sauvage costs
The usual price in Europe is €80 to €150. 60 ml costs about €80, which is about €1.33 per ml. 100 ml costs about €110, which is about €1.10 per ml. 200 ml costs about €150, which is about €0.75 per ml. The 200 ml bottle gives you the most perfume for your money. That puts it in the middle price range. It costs less than Parfums De Marly Sedley and In The Box Sauvegy.
