Sauvage is a nocturnal interpretation of the original iconic scent, inspired by the “magic hour” of twilight in the desert when the burning air meets the coolness of the night. The composition abandons the sharp metallic edges of the Eau de Toilette for a smoother, more resinous profile.10 It opens with the zesty brightness of Mandarin and Bergamot before settling into a heart dominated by creamy, milky Sri Lankan Sandalwood—an ingredient specially cultivated for Dior to ensure rich, powerful nuances.11 The dry down is characteristically warm and leathery, driven by the smoky sweetness of Tonka Bean and the balsamic depth of Olibanum. This is a fragrance of wide-open spaces, evoking the aroma of a crackling fire rising into a dark, ink-blue sky.
