Used to be a lot stronger and longer lasting even the EDP has dipped massively in performance it's just not worth it anymore. The big selling point was the performance now it's gone from being BEAST to above average. Moschino toy boy is the way forward nowdays 👍
@@mmmssbb23 idl cuz usually i have to over spray quite a bit on a lot of colognes(because my skin just absorbs fragrance) this one included but even with equal sprays to the rest, it MASSIVELY out performs most of my collection
just bought Dior Sauvage yesterday. Someone made a good point that most guys don’t actually wear a fragrance, so although this is “basic”, you’ll still stand out
Dior is one of the few brands that always announces publicly when it reformulates its product. They reformulated the EDP version and immediately announced this news, without covering up, marking the new formula on the box. The old formula of EDP is 12053 / A, and that of the new editions is 13705 / A. The original formula of the EDT version from 2015 is 09406 / A, this is the current formula, which is visible on the back of each box, that is, it has not been changed, this is the old original formula. When the formula is changed, the law obliges the manufacturer to announce this change publicly, otherwise it will be forced to withdraw all its products from stores. So when there is compelling evidence, it doesn't matter what they say, 100 or 200 people with a subjective opinion!
Sauvage gets better the longer you ‘bond’ with it. It’s truly a timeless classic. Name me another designer fragrance with its lasting power and silage that smells fresh, unique, and fantastic. It was a trend setter. The OG. Love it or hate it, it will be remembered forever in the frag world. And Steve I’m with you... the EDT original is the best of the 3.
Completely agree with Steven, I own bottles from three different batches (2017,2018,2020) and the performance is exactly the same. I can’t confirm the projections, for obvious reasons, but longevity is the same (8 plus hours).
Honestly .. for as long as I’ve been in to fragrance . I’ve only come across two people that have worn this around me . And I’ve been wearing this for a while .
I agree, Dior Sauvage is 100% relevant in 2020! My favorite flanker in the Sauvage series is the Parfum. In my opinion, the Parfum version is more on the warm side and is not as loud as the EDT making it perfect for a romantic evening and also more safe to wear in the office. Great review and new series!!

I have 1/2 a bottle left of the EDP from 2018. This juice is special to me because my wife bought it for me and I wore it when we got married. I just ordered a 200ml bottle of the EDT so I can save the juice of my EDP and I live in FL, so the EDT is better overall in the weather down here. I got a 200ml for $123. So I’ll have enough for the rest of my life. I also bought it in case they really do reformulate it. The EDT will be a classic like JPG LeMale in 20 years that everyone wished they had the original formula. Great video like always Steven!
Christian already got dylan blue, thanks for suggestion though. I’d the say sauvage smells better, they both have similar performance and Dylan blue obviously is better priced.
HARIS Raja I have a 2017 or 2018 batch of Dylan blue. Have you tested the new batches, might get a back up bottle of it. However, I want to get BDC edp because dylan blue is at every discounter and a present top seller. Also sauvage is sauvage, a lot of people have it. That’s why I wanna buy blue de chanel, although it’s been out for a while, it’s more classy and naturally smelling, also not many people would be rocking it. Note: have tried ysl y edp but it doesn’t smell better than the other 3 I’ve just listed (although it does have great performance).
I bought the edp. It’s very good. I also got the edt in 2019 and it went to a skin scent in less than an hour. Obviously reformulated and ruined. Why would they do that? It’s already almost one hundred percent synthetic!!! This tells me they are cheapening their fragrances to save money. Last Dior anything I will buy. I’m pretty sure the fragrance industry has already lost lots of customers
As a guy who is tired of seeing nothing but super sweet fragrances coming out ( code profumo, invictus, 1 million. And all they're flankers) I love a clean spicy woody fragrance like sauvage. Worth it in my opinion.
Update: this has been reformulated and now becomes a skin scent after 30-45 minutes and doesn't perform at all, hardly detectable at 5 hours on skin. I have 2018 batch.
@Malcolm Rose if you can find an original bottle from when it was first realeased for a decent price then yes...otherwise I wouldnt recommend it. The new formulations suck. If you can smell and do a performance test for yourself I would say that's the best way to go.
@@brandonmitchell1457 wanna get the 200ml edt tomorrow so I checked it just last week...was definitely a new batch...I had like 10 others sprayed around diffrent parts...and the next morning all I could smell was the sauvage and light blue forever!!
It's a masterpiece! I am holding up my bottle while watching this review. 😁 I hate to sound like a broken record, but I bought this perfume because of your review and in love with it ever since. I even got a back up bottle.
I bought my first bottle a few months ago from a VA hospital store. I checked it's authenticity and it's real. It last on my skin maybe two or three hours and then it's completely gone. I'm gonna try and let it sit longer and see if that helps. Although the performance sucks so far the smell is addicting and it's a Swiss army knife type fragrance. I might give the cool spray a shot.
If you like it ..you like it! So many people wear everything that's gd ! With that attitude dont wear anything then lol. I learned a long time ago to not worry what others think . just worry about yourself and what you like!
Anyone thinks the 2020 EDT batch is significantly less peppery than the previous ones? The EDP has that peppery drydown that I always associate with the original Sauvage. The current EDT 2020 has very little peppery drydown and a lot sweeter.
it's not uniq anymore but that doesnt mean it's not worth it. I wont be a good alternative for a fragrance collector perhaps, but for a regular person i would say dior sauvage is a really good buy. Dior sauvage is safe and still mass appealing.
It is not worth it anymore in my opinion, even in a country where men don't wear Fragrance ( Finland ) I smell sauvage almost every Saturday or Tuesday out at the bar. You'll smell good but just like every other guy who even wears Fragrance. In my opinion if you wanna wear sauvage, go with cool spray. It's different enough with the added citrus and patchouli! And the parfum is great but people won't be able to smell you unless they're hugging you
IT is worth to the group which it is addressed, so for the blue/fresh/ mass market/ mass apealing lover this is still worth every penny! Yeah its very common nowdays, thats true, but so it is with Bleu de Chanel, Eros, and other mainstreem fragrances! For me its not worth it, i m more into the classic/ power house/ deep notes/ musc/leather/heavy notes with beautiful natural blanding, but i respect Sauvage for what it is. !Salute you man!
I bought 5 100ml bottles from my local Nordstrom. I'm down to my last 100ml which is 40% full. 5T01 batch code for my 100ml June 2015 and 6U03 July 2016 for my 200ml that hasn't been used yet. I gave my teenage son a 2015 bottle earlier this year. Two sprays is very noticeable when I wear it. I was in a fast food place during my lunch hour and the lady behind the cash register said I smelled good. It cut through that fast food cloud easily. Compliment is still a compliment
I know some people within the fragrance community won't agree with me, but I prefer the Parfum version of Sauvage. On my skin, it lasts between 8-10 hours. I enjoy the fact this version is more mature, darker, and rich over the other version. You can't go wrong with any version of Sauvage. It beat many new recent release out there.
Dude I got a bottle for Christmas and I love how it smells but I’m so disappointed on it’s performance and strength, it lasts about 3 hours on my skin I swear 😕
Generally speaking this is done intentionally for a couple reasons. Think about it, the shorter lasting it is but still an amazing smell well you’re going to use a lot more of it and eventually buy more bottles. Secondly is the longer a fragrance lasts means they have to really dump it with ambroxyn and other chemicals. Some synthetics are totally okay but when people want these crazy long lasting 6, 7, 8 hour fragrances then they’re going to need to pump it up artificially which then lowers the quality of the product. Most brands figure they’d sacrifice the longevity over the quality of the fragrance. What in nature do you know of that lasts for that many hours. Most things in nature the smell on skin only lasts a couple hours. Anyway that’s just my personal opinion I obviously have zero affiliation with them I’m just speaking in general terms for fragrances.
Honestly, I see no good reason for someone to reformulate a perfume that does not contain banned and expensive ingredients. However, if anyone has doubts and worries about Sauvage's performance, just buy YSL Y YDP. It follows the same line, but has a brutal performance, on my skin 12-14 hours with 4 hours of strong projection.
Yes it is, especially in places of this word where most of people have 1 million, A. Codes and JPG. Also mixing fragrances is something I use and Savage is must have formula. For one night stand I use 1 sprays of Dior Savage on my chest, 1 spray of Dior Savagr on my back neck, one spray Aqua di Gio Profumo on my side neck, and 1 spray of zara vibrant leather summer on my biceps. Its mix on my skin and no one knows what I have on me , kompliment is must, its not aggressive smell, and its stay on partner skin too, when she woke up next day, she will smell you.
I still use Edt for the versatility but prefer the Edp. Prada Luna Rosa Carbon is very similar but a little more refined at half the cost. I get a crazy amount of compliments from the Dior line.
If you are talking about performance nowadays , you should say the batch . Or buy a new bottle ( for a channel like yours , which is quality info) . I really do have performance issues with my new Jan 2021 edt . Pepper went down also . Idk if the bottle needs to rest or smthg…. But definitely it’s not the same . People around me cannot smell it (before after 10 hours still could). Just sprayed 2 sprays in my neck , and the opinion of my friend (who doesn’t know about perfumes ) is that the scent is “good but very weak” ( promise it’s true). Before , 1 spray after my work and ppl was “MAN THATS TOO STRONG!” ( several times has occurred). I’ve been wearing sauvage min 3 times/week since the last 3 years (I owned 3 bottles) soooo …..I know what I’m talking about . With apologies , but I think that those reviewers sometimes has too many fragrances and they cannot check it properly . As he said , 6 hours of duration ….come on , sauvage lasted easily 10 hours (or more) and that’s a fact .
@@kennyc2281 I will be very honest…yes it is worth. Go for it. I would say that Dior Sauvage, Channel allure sport EE, Blue de Channel… even Montblanc Explorer… are fragrances that never fail and will give you tons of compliments.Sauvage is definitely weaker now. But just spray more (and on the clothes ) , let’s say 5 sprays .
@@shadyevenings I am looking for that peppery, ambroxan EDT batch. I tried tester of this strong batch in autumn of 23, but didn't check batch unfortunetly. I have decant of Sauvage 2023 EDT but it's soft as hell. From my research batches starting from 2020 are no good, which batch you had beforehand?
@@mkozlovskis97 so I guess 2018-19-20. Anyway , it’s weaker yeah , but still can last all day , just spray more and on clothes (5-7 sprays will do the work). Don’t get too obsessed , still is the best in the market , way far from anything else if you live in a hot country ! If you live in a cold country I guess there are other options also … but for hot weather , nothing better than savage edt, for anyone , in any occasion , is insane .
Classics have their place in Frag Com history. I enjoy the EDT, I don't reach for it as much now days. But it'll always be in my collection. I prefer the EDP it's more versatile and well balanced for any occasion. Great review as always Steven.
Sauvage is a bit a victim of his own success. It's popular for a good reason but i smell it almost everywhere. It smells good, good longevity and the projection is good for a reasonable price. I wear it sometimes but i wear the very cool spray more often.
Man I bought Lunna Rosa carbon a while back and never tried sauvage for myself because of the people saying it’s too common. After one spray on my wrist in Sephora, hours later, the compliments kept coming in.
Might be an unpopular opinion but I like it the more I wear it. I have other blues BDC EDT and Y EDP. I like Y but feels sweet and more youthful and I reach for DS more than BDC. Just a super easy dumb reach daytime fragrance. Good longevity, go easy on sprays to take metallic edge off. Not that it matters but the magnetic cap is cool!
I dont wear it anymore, i will wear prada carbon in place of it, but cant deny how good it still smell. I tell you want, you dont want to be around someone with it on because sauvage going to grab all the attention
Love this video, always like to know as a new fragrance user what is still considered popular or still mainstream acceptable, more videos like this is great
i was debating which to buy first...so in your honest opinion which is best out of the 3 to have as the best sauvage ...hope u and ur family are doing good steven
Yo, this channel got me into the hobby some months ago. Helped me pick the three scents to start with; Dior Sauvage, Homme Intense, and Molecule 01. Can’t wait for my order to come in. Granted I’m a broke college student, so the $281 after discount still stings. But damn, I wish I remembered when you mentioned it’s cheaper if you avoid discounters, my bad.
It might be a overworn fragrance in the western countries but in korea, where i live in, its hard to find a man wearing sauvage. Most people here consider scents like sauvage as old man's fragrance and dont enjoy it. I heard even high school kids and early 20's wear sauvage. Which is hard to imagine in korea. So even i own sauvage and love it, i dont wear it often. People here enjoy inoffensive, soapy and clean scents (boring in my opinion) like lazy sunday morning by margiela or blanche by byredo. Maybe its because of the different body odor(probably the biggest reason) weather and culture. Which is quite sad for me because i love heavy oriental, spicy, powdey scents, which is hard to get compliments here. Anyways i would say its worth it at least in my country cuz its a quite rare scent.
Fantastic vid, you covered a lot of good points. I still feel like I should buy it to add to my collection, but I'm one of those who find it too metallic when up close. In the air around me however I believe it would really be amazing.
i bought a tester 2017 batch. it is strong as hell. its not a fake or i donno. it smell more peppery than the recent batches. also the opening has a big bergamot blast. the new ones dont have that same blast effect as the old bottles have. now i cant find old batches anymore :((
Enjoyed the video. I own most of the mainstream niche and designer fragrances: PDM, Nishane, BDK, etc., and Sauvage Cool Spray is still my most complimented. Cat nip.
Always loved Dior for it's uniqueness,DH,DHI, Fahrenheit reek of unique and polarizing.Ive used this,it seems rather more mass pleasing but worth every dollar you pay.
Hi Steven, unrelated question i know but I'm almost at the end of my armani code profumo, do I get another bottle or would absolou be a good alternative
Based on my experience, they're both very similar. I prefer the composition of Absolu a bit more, but the performance of Profumo is better. I'd say it depends on what you want-- assuming you haven't bought a new bottle already.
I dont understand why they didn't mention about the reformulation. I got the 2020 batch and the performance sucks! These reviewers are probably paid not to say anything...
I have the first batch that came out obtained from Macy so long ago have to say I still like it not much left there. This by far will be added back into my collection once the bottle is done.
Because of the price Dior never grants a discounted price to the retailers/customers never saw it discounted anywhere except the perfumery and online Shop offer a general discount code. Dior isn't the only one though having static prices.
Another thing I think is worth considering is the epidemic of anosmia to Ambroxan-reliant scents. With the trend this cologne set-to layer large amounts of Ambroxan ontop of Amber/Wood for an effect-more and more colognes today are imitating this. As Ambroxan heavy colognes surround people and linger in their noses, it becomes harder to notice the “wow” effect of the Ambroxan in Sauvage. In 2016, Sauvage was unique in this way. So was Aventus. 5 years from then, and hundreds of imitations later, it is no longer unique. And people are unable to smell the punch of Ambrox that they should when experiencing Sauvage. Sad but true.
I just bought a 100ml for 77 euro of Dior Sauvage Edt in 2022 hope is good i also have a 2018 bottle which is great, but after 2 hour i can't smell it anymore idk why maybe because of the ambroxan in it but people around me are telling me that i smell great..
First off, I like that you're doing this segment. George of Fragrance Apprentice and Jeremy were doing this and it's an interesting topic. Second, technically it should still be worth it. It's only been 5 years and like it or not (I'm neutral to it) nothing really compares to Sauvage during these 5 years. The real debate is about BdC. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that one, as well as The One and La Nuit.
I have an August 2020 0F01 batch for the EDT and it's horrible I'm going to return it to Sephora. Smells great for 30 minutes then its almost completely gone.
I absolutely believe it’s been reformulated, but you would have to try it side-by-side , so has bleu Chanel parfum, I just found that out very recently.
6 HOURS?! I bought my first bottle a few months ago and i consistently get 8-10 hrs and my skin DRINKS cologne normally! This is a BEAST imo....
That's awesome!
It depending up on your skin. Many have issues with creed millisime imperiale, but on me i used to get around 8 hours
Used to be a lot stronger and longer lasting even the EDP has dipped massively in performance it's just not worth it anymore. The big selling point was the performance now it's gone from being BEAST to above average. Moschino toy boy is the way forward nowdays 👍

Honestly might do the same later this month . I’ll get a ton of wear out if it during the summer.
This video put a SMILE on my face! Especially the conclusion!
In Germany it’s really cheap. You always get the 100ml for around 60€ and less.
I think is funny how these $80 colognes lose favor over 5 years, but $10 Stetson, Brut, Jovan, etc never go out of style.

For me its not worth it, i m more into the classic/ power house/ deep notes/ musc/leather/heavy notes with beautiful natural blanding, but i respect Sauvage for what it is. !Salute you man!
Very good video Steven, thank you!!
I bought 5 100ml bottles from my local Nordstrom. I'm down to my last 100ml which is 40% full. 5T01 batch code for my 100ml June 2015 and 6U03 July 2016 for my 200ml that hasn't been used yet. I gave my teenage son a 2015 bottle earlier this year. Two sprays is very noticeable when I wear it. I was in a fast food place during my lunch hour and the lady behind the cash register said I smelled good. It cut through that fast food cloud easily. Compliment is still a compliment
I know some people within the fragrance community won't agree with me, but I prefer the Parfum version of Sauvage. On my skin, it lasts between 8-10 hours. I enjoy the fact this version is more mature, darker, and rich over the other version. You can't go wrong with any version of Sauvage. It beat many new recent release out there.
Dude I got a bottle for Christmas and I love how it smells but I’m so disappointed on it’s performance and strength, it lasts about 3 hours on my skin I swear 😕
Generally speaking this is done intentionally for a couple reasons. Think about it, the shorter lasting it is but still an amazing smell well you’re going to use a lot more of it and eventually buy more bottles. Secondly is the longer a fragrance lasts means they have to really dump it with ambroxyn and other chemicals. Some synthetics are totally okay but when people want these crazy long lasting 6, 7, 8 hour fragrances then they’re going to need to pump it up artificially which then lowers the quality of the product. Most brands figure they’d sacrifice the longevity over the quality of the fragrance. What in nature do you know of that lasts for that many hours. Most things in nature the smell on skin only lasts a couple hours. Anyway that’s just my personal opinion I obviously have zero affiliation with them I’m just speaking in general terms for fragrances.
Mine lasts all day.
Super review as always
Honestly, I see no good reason for someone to reformulate a perfume that does not contain banned and expensive ingredients. However, if anyone has doubts and worries about Sauvage's performance, just buy YSL Y YDP. It follows the same line, but has a brutal performance, on my skin 12-14 hours with 4 hours of strong projection.
Yes it is, especially in places of this word where most of people have 1 million, A. Codes and JPG. Also mixing fragrances is something I use and Savage is must have formula. For one night stand I use 1 sprays of Dior Savage on my chest, 1 spray of Dior Savagr on my back neck, one spray Aqua di Gio Profumo on my side neck, and 1 spray of zara vibrant leather summer on my biceps. Its mix on my skin and no one knows what I have on me , kompliment is must, its not aggressive smell, and its stay on partner skin too, when she woke up next day, she will smell you.
Thanks for watching, Mark!
@@Redolessence Ofc. 😉
It’s a cold weather fragrance. It’s AMAZING in the cold. Totally recommended 👍
I still use Edt for the versatility but prefer the Edp. Prada Luna Rosa Carbon is very similar but a little more refined at half the cost. I get a crazy amount of compliments from the Dior line.
Steve question is has it been reformulated since 2015?
Can you compare a 2015 with a 2020 bottle?
I did and they are different. The one on sale now smells like Zara Ice Walk
@@InstantKaarma or is it Zara ice walk that smells like it
Nice topic. I'd love to see a series of this!
I still think it's an amazing creation by F. Demachy (EDT) even if it's one dimensional fragrance.
Great video Steven as always.
If you are talking about performance nowadays , you should say the batch . Or buy a new bottle ( for a channel like yours , which is quality info) . I really do have performance issues with my new Jan 2021 edt . Pepper went down also . Idk if the bottle needs to rest or smthg…. But definitely it’s not the same . People around me cannot smell it (before after 10 hours still could). Just sprayed 2 sprays in my neck , and the opinion of my friend (who doesn’t know about perfumes ) is that the scent is “good but very weak” ( promise it’s true). Before , 1 spray after my work and ppl was “MAN THATS TOO STRONG!” ( several times has occurred). I’ve been wearing sauvage min 3 times/week since the last 3 years (I owned 3 bottles) soooo …..I know what I’m talking about . With apologies , but I think that those reviewers sometimes has too many fragrances and they cannot check it properly . As he said , 6 hours of duration ….come on , sauvage lasted easily 10 hours (or more) and that’s a fact .
would you say its still worth to buy? I plan to buy the edt from 2020/2021 batch.
@@kennyc2281 I will be very honest…yes it is worth. Go for it. I would say that Dior Sauvage, Channel allure sport EE, Blue de Channel… even Montblanc Explorer… are fragrances that never fail and will give you tons of compliments.Sauvage is definitely weaker now. But just spray more (and on the clothes ) , let’s say 5 sprays .
@@shadyevenings I am looking for that peppery, ambroxan EDT batch. I tried tester of this strong batch in autumn of 23, but didn't check batch unfortunetly. I have decant of Sauvage 2023 EDT but it's soft as hell.
From my research batches starting from 2020 are no good, which batch you had beforehand?
@@mkozlovskis97 so I guess 2018-19-20.
Anyway , it’s weaker yeah , but still can last all day , just spray more and on clothes (5-7 sprays will do the work). Don’t get too obsessed , still is the best in the market , way far from anything else if you live in a hot country ! If you live in a cold country I guess there are other options also … but for hot weather , nothing better than savage edt, for anyone , in any occasion , is insane .
Classics have their place in Frag Com history. I enjoy the EDT, I don't reach for it as much now days. But it'll always be in my collection. I prefer the EDP it's more versatile and well balanced for any occasion. Great review as always Steven.
I like the cut with alternatives, nice idea
Have the EDT & EDP... to my nose they are very similar...the EDP has a little more depth...and yes we can still Rock it in 2020👍🏻
And in 24 👍🏻
do you think versace dylan blue is still worth it?
It Has Reached A High Level Of Success. It’s Just Expensive So Everybody Wont Be Wearing It
That's a great way to put it!
Sauvage is a bit a victim of his own success. It's popular for a good reason but i smell it almost everywhere. It smells good, good longevity and the projection is good for a reasonable price. I wear it sometimes but i wear the very cool spray more often.
Man I bought Lunna Rosa carbon a while back and never tried sauvage for myself because of the people saying it’s too common. After one spray on my wrist in Sephora, hours later, the compliments kept coming in.
Might be an unpopular opinion but I like it the more I wear it.
I have other blues BDC EDT and Y EDP. I like Y but feels sweet and more youthful and I reach for DS more than BDC.
Just a super easy dumb reach daytime fragrance. Good longevity, go easy on sprays to take metallic edge off. Not that it matters but the magnetic cap is cool!
Really thorough assessment! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you for this, I just bought this today. Very nice video, well put together :)
Excellent video as always Steven keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed it!
I dont wear it anymore, i will wear prada carbon in place of it, but cant deny how good it still smell. I tell you want, you dont want to be around someone with it on because sauvage going to grab all the attention
Love this video, always like to know as a new fragrance user what is still considered popular or still mainstream acceptable, more videos like this is great
Oh my god.. you are so cute
i was debating which to buy first...so in your honest opinion which is best out of the 3 to have as the best sauvage ...hope u and ur family are doing good steven
Yo, this channel got me into the hobby some months ago. Helped me pick the three scents to start with; Dior Sauvage, Homme Intense, and Molecule 01. Can’t wait for my order to come in. Granted I’m a broke college student, so the $281 after discount still stings. But damn, I wish I remembered when you mentioned it’s cheaper if you avoid discounters, my bad.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
@@Redolessence Thank you for the amazing content and your refined sense of smell.
This is the only bottle that I’ve completely went through. I own over 50 bottles.
For real ?
The Swiss Army knife! Couldn’t agree more
Great 📹 and I enjoyed it and like the edp better and have a blessed day
Great topic!
It might be a overworn fragrance in the western countries but in korea, where i live in, its hard to find a man wearing sauvage. Most people here consider scents like sauvage as old man's fragrance and dont enjoy it. I heard even high school kids and early 20's wear sauvage. Which is hard to imagine in korea. So even i own sauvage and love it, i dont wear it often. People here enjoy inoffensive, soapy and clean scents (boring in my opinion) like lazy sunday morning by margiela or blanche by byredo. Maybe its because of the different body odor(probably the biggest reason) weather and culture. Which is quite sad for me because i love heavy oriental, spicy, powdey scents, which is hard to get compliments here. Anyways i would say its worth it at least in my country cuz its a quite rare scent.
Fantastic vid, you covered a lot of good points. I still feel like I should buy it to add to my collection, but I'm one of those who find it too metallic when up close. In the air around me however I believe it would really be amazing.
I have it and still really like it. I also own the parfum and they both garner compliments.
Thanks for watching!
I think the discounters are not discounting much right now,with the current situation everything has gone up in price,great video 👍
Thanks!
1/3 of the whole review you’re talking about the review.
For real! Wtf?
i bought a tester 2017 batch. it is strong as hell. its not a fake or i donno. it smell more peppery than the recent batches. also the opening has a big bergamot blast. the new ones dont have that same blast effect as the old bottles have. now i cant find old batches anymore :((
Enjoyed the video. I own most of the mainstream niche and designer fragrances: PDM, Nishane, BDK, etc., and Sauvage Cool Spray is still my most complimented. Cat nip.
Sauvage EDT is worth it and still amazing in 2022. My favorite still even over the new elixir
prada carbon no projection no longevity .
and I got dior sauvage edt this is the beast .
You have a 2021/2020 bottle?
Always loved Dior for it's uniqueness,DH,DHI, Fahrenheit reek of unique and polarizing.Ive used this,it seems rather more mass pleasing but worth every dollar you pay.
Off course question: why does JPG Le Male have two different color bottles? One has white stripes and the other seems more translucent?
White stripes are more prevalent on BPI batches, translucent stripes are on the PUIG bottles
It’s absolutely worth it. A modern classic. My favourite is the Very Cool Spray
Hi Steven, unrelated question i know but I'm almost at the end of my armani code profumo, do I get another bottle or would absolou be a good alternative
Based on my experience, they're both very similar. I prefer the composition of Absolu a bit more, but the performance of Profumo is better. I'd say it depends on what you want-- assuming you haven't bought a new bottle already.
What did you end up choosing?
He bought Armani's acqua di gio
I dont understand why they didn't mention about the reformulation. I got the 2020 batch and the performance sucks! These reviewers are probably paid not to say anything...
I have the first batch that came out obtained from Macy so long ago have to say I still like it not much left there. This by far will be added back into my collection once the bottle is done.
I love the Parfum. Kind of takes it's own road in comparison to the EDT and EDP.
Because of the price Dior never grants a discounted price to the retailers/customers never saw it discounted anywhere except the perfumery and online Shop offer a general discount code. Dior isn't the only one though having static prices.
Which one last longer?
Another thing I think is worth considering is the epidemic of anosmia to Ambroxan-reliant scents.
With the trend this cologne set-to layer large amounts of Ambroxan ontop of Amber/Wood for an effect-more and more colognes today are imitating this. As Ambroxan heavy colognes surround people and linger in their noses, it becomes harder to notice the “wow” effect of the Ambroxan in Sauvage.
In 2016, Sauvage was unique in this way. So was Aventus. 5 years from then, and hundreds of imitations later, it is no longer unique. And people are unable to smell the punch of Ambrox that they should when experiencing Sauvage. Sad but true.
I just bought a 100ml for 77 euro of Dior Sauvage Edt in 2022 hope is good i also have a 2018 bottle which is great, but after 2 hour i can't smell it anymore idk why maybe because of the ambroxan in it but people around me are telling me that i smell great..
First off, I like that you're doing this segment. George of Fragrance Apprentice and Jeremy were doing this and it's an interesting topic. Second, technically it should still be worth it. It's only been 5 years and like it or not (I'm neutral to it) nothing really compares to Sauvage during these 5 years. The real debate is about BdC. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that one, as well as The One and La Nuit.
Just so good this scent 👌🏼
I bought it and did about 10 sprays and can’t smell it anymore. Disappointed that only lasts 3 hrs
I have an August 2020 0F01 batch for the EDT and it's horrible I'm going to return it to Sephora. Smells great for 30 minutes then its almost completely gone.
I absolutely believe it’s been reformulated, but you would have to try it side-by-side , so has bleu Chanel parfum, I just found that out very recently.
WHAT!!! BdC Parfum has been reformulated already? That was fast. I'm glad I scooped mine up upon release.
I can't stand Dior Sauvage EDT! But the Very Cool Spray??? It's way cleaner, fresher and lasts ALL day 😎🤘
Thanks for sharing!!
I still love it will always be in my collection it just works
is it a strong smell?
