Eau Sauvage

Dior, 1966, for men

citrus, aromatic, fresh and earthy

Notes

Lemon Sharp, zesty and clean, like a freshly scored peel.
Bergamot Sparkling peel of a green-gold citrus, juicy and slightly floral, with a bitter edge that keeps it elegant.
Basil Peppery, green and a touch anise-like, with a juicy herbal snap.
Rosemary Resinous, piney herb with a clean, medicinal sparkle.
Caraway Dry, slightly anise-like spice with a green, bready warmth.
Fruity Notes A general ripe, sweet fruit impression, juicy and slightly jammy without being one named fruit.

Jasmine Sweet, heady white blossom with an indolic, almost animal warmth.
Coriander Citrusy, woody and a little soapy spice with a fresh brightness.
Carnation Spicy, clove-tinged flower with a peppery-sweet warmth.
Patchouli Earthy, damp and chocolatey, dark leaf with a camphor edge.
Iris Cool, buttery, powdery and slightly earthy, like lipstick and cold stone; taken from the root, not the flower.
Sandalwood Creamy, milky and softly sweet wood, smooth as polished timber.
Rose Petals, honey and a touch of wine; can lean fresh and dewy or deep and jammy.
Lavender Clean, herbal and slightly camphorous, with a soft floral sweetness.
