An iconic fragrance unveiled in a new light. Reworked by François Demachy, Dior’s exclusive perfumer-creator, the warm scent of Eau Sauvage Parfum exhibits a new freshness featuring smooth notes, and borrows the image of the actor Alain Delon, the embodiment of virile and timeless beauty.
François Demachy revisits the trail of Eau Sauvage in its Parfum interpretation with a refreshed aromatic power. As powerful and sensual as ever, the composition is invigorated with a unique freshness warmed by the Grasse sun.
The balance between sweet citron and San Carlo bergamot inundates the composition with a chiseled freshness. Top notes bursting with citrus revive a woody heart of pure vetiver. This light wood stirs the warm and powerful elemi note to unfurl in a spicy, oriental base.
A composition both fiery and languid, fresh and yet enveloping, which enhances the solar freshness of Eau Sauvage with warm and radiant accents.
“Eau Sauvage Parfum has become even more pleasurable. With this fuller, rounder version, even closer to the original signature, I sought to underline the authenticity of the materials. Express their power but also bring out their warmth by making them even more present and palpable,” explains François Demachy. Inspired by the legendary fragrance, Dior’s exclusive perfumer-creator offers a reinterpretation that stays faithful to its sunny freshness while enriching it with smooth woody notes. Citrus brings a bracing air, through the union of a sweet orange with the chiseled freshness of San Carlo bergamot. Fruity, floral and zesty, it’s exclusively cultivated for Eau Sauvage in Reggio Calabria. Then the softness settles in with floral notes of lavender absolute, themselves underlined by wild flowers. The bouquet is enhanced by hedione, a molecule present in the first Eau Sauvage in 1966, and which contributed to establishing its legend. Next comes a pared-down reinterpretation of the vetiver heart, with woodier accents, which highlight the spicy base, swelling with oriental warmth. Elemi from the Philippines deploys its own warm and powerful note, while the labdanum unveils its sensual nature, complemented by the smooth pairing of cinnamon and star anise.
Once again, Alain Delon is the face of Eau Sauvage. A saga that revisits the image of two legends and sharpens the nuances of a fascinating masculinity. Hypnotic and animal, his face is an emblem of virile beauty. Radically modern, he is a star that transcends time, infused with magnetism.
Beneath the warm sun of the Grasse back country Eau Sauvage was born, the House’s first men’s perfume. By invigorating the fragrance’s sunny roots, François Demachy now offers a reinterpreted scent, one that’s fiery and languorous, fresh and yet enveloping. A fragrance embodied by the actor Alain Delon, as a headstrong and elegant man, with a fascinating animal beauty, expressed in this campaign, drawn from the film The Last Adventure by Robert Enrico.
