Dior Sauvage Extrait opens with Provençal lavender, Ambroxan and Calabrian bergamot, then turns darker around Vietnamese oud and patchouli: a distinctly masculine scent that suits cooler seasons and evenings best.

What does Sauvage Extrait smell like?

Most voters pick winter and fall, and evening and night out are the occasions it is chosen for most. Its longevity and sillage are both rated very strong, and most see it as masculine and modern. It is rarely chosen for daytime or the office.

The top notes of lavender, bergamot and Ambroxan give a fresh, clean start. Vietnamese oud in the heart adds a resinous, smoky weight. In the base, Indonesian patchouli, Virginia cedar wood, Atlas cedar and Madagascan vetiver build a woody, earthy foundation, with spicy and animal tones running through it. Acqua di Parma Colonia Oud and Frapin Nevermore have a close profile.
