What does Sauvage Parfum smell like?

It opens with mandarin orange and bergamot, giving a bright, fruity citrus start. Lavender, Sichuan pepper and nutmeg add a spicy depth in the heart. In the base, patchouli, vanilla absolute, tonka bean and ambroxan sweeten the scent and settle it onto a woody footing.

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall and spring, with winter not far behind. Leisure, daily wear and evenings out lead the occasions, and voters mostly read it as masculine. It has a close profile to Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Wood & Wood and Versace Eros Flame.
