Alexandria UK 1966 ETE SAUVAGE Inspird by Eau Sauvage by Dior is an Eau de Parfum. 1966 ETE SAUVAGE Inspird by Eau Sauvage by Dior opens with Bergamot and Lemon, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Jasmine, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Alexandria UK's 1966 ETE SAUVAGE Inspird by Eau Sauvage by Dior carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Alexandria UK's 1966 ETE SAUVAGE leans on the same lemon-bergamot-vetiver skeleton as Dior's Eau Sauvage, but flattens the citrus into a louder, more one-note opening and trades the original's silky oakmoss dry-down for a simpler amber-musk base with roughly half the wear time.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

1966 ETE SAUVAGE is Alexandria UK's take on Dior's Eau Sauvage, one of the most referenced citrus aromatics in men's perfumery. The opening is a sharp, almost fizzy burst of lemon and bergamot, brighter and more synthetic-smelling than the original's sun-warmed citrus. A basil and rosemary heart keeps things green and herbal, with jasmine and lavender softening the edges, though the transition feels quicker and less layered than Eau Sauvage's slow unfurling. Patchouli and sandalwood add a touch of body before the dry-down settles into oakmoss, vetiver, musk, and amber. It reads as a recognisable, budget-friendly nod to the shape of the original rather than a faithful recreation, with noticeably less depth in the base and shorter overall longevity. Best suited to anyone who wants the citrus-aromatic silhouette of a menswear classic without the investment, and who isn't chasing all-day performance.
