Dior Eau Sauvage in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

Opens crisp and bracing with bergamot and green herbs like rosemary. A dry, earthy middle follows, and it ends in classic oakmoss and vetiver, green and clean like an old-school barber's shop.

How it wears

The perfume community finds wear and projection moderate, and some say it fades fairly soon on their skin.

When to wear it

Wearers favour summer and spring days, and say it fits well into office hours.

Who it suits

Suits men who like a classic, refined, green style with an old-school feel. It is quiet, so it will not suit anyone wanting a loud modern trail.
