Chris Collins Danse Sauvage is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Marie-Patricia Hurel. Danse Sauvage opens with Cognac, Saffron, and Plum, settles into a heart of Chili, Rose, Pepper, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Oud, and Patchouli. Chris Collins's Danse Sauvage carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A boozy, spicy cedar bomb that's undeniably sexy and gets compliments, but performance is a bit divisive, and it might smell a bit too familiar to fans of other popular spicy-woody scents.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

Its moderate sillage and strong, boozy, spicy profile make it fantastic for dates and formal events, drawing compliments without being overpowering. It's a bit too bold and rich for everyday office wear but can elevate a casual evening out.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Danse Sauvage bursts open with a rich, inviting cognac and juicy plum, quickly joined by the warm, exotic spice of saffron. As it settles, a fiery heart of chilli and pepper emerges, tempered by a delicate rose and earthy nutmeg. The base provides a luxurious depth with robust cedar and a subtle, non-animalic oud, rounded out by amber, patchouli, and a touch of sweet vanilla, creating a deeply woody, boozy, and spicy aroma.
