Dior Sauvage

How much talk I’ve heard about Dior Sauvage! On different platforms, people are forever arguing: everyone’s tired of it, it’s too recognisable, it’s been done to death. Well, yes, there’s plenty of talk. Yet people still wear it, discuss it and keep coming back to it.

Here I’m talking specifically about Eau de Toilette — EDT. The Sauvage versions are different, and they feel different too. For me, the Eau de Toilette is the most successful: fresh, light, yet with a good presence. No unnecessary heaviness, nothing overdone. It’s the one I prefer from the whole line.

It lasts very well, and there’s a scent trail too. On my skin — easily six or seven hours. A lot also depends on how much you apply. It may linger longer on clothing, but I don’t like applying fragrance to clothes myself, so I go mainly by how it wears on my skin.

For me, it’s a good perfume in the ‘must-have’ category. The kind I want to keep in my selection. Very recognisable, but personally, that doesn’t bother me at all.

Some like it, some don’t — folks, it’s all personal taste. I like it; you may not. For goodness’ sake, nobody’s making you love something that isn’t for you.

I own it and wear it from time to time, just like my other fragrances: to suit my mood and the weather. It works well for everyday wear, and I wouldn’t limit it to particular seasons — for me, it’s an all-year-round fragrance.

So that’s my opinion. A good fragrance that I enjoy wearing.
