What does Eau Sauvage Parfum (2012) smell like?

Bright, slightly green Calabrian bergamot comes first. In the heart, Somalian myrrh adds a resinous, lightly spicy and sweet tone. Haitian vetiver forms the base: earthy, woody and a little smoky. Freshness dominates, though a warm oriental touch runs underneath.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, spring comes next, and summer is the least chosen. It is worn mostly in the evening and on nights out, and also for business. Half of voters call it masculine, and most of the rest find it classic. Dior Vétiver has a close profile.
