Dior Eau Sauvage Extreme 2010 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2010, created by François Demachy. Eau Sauvage Extreme 2010 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Lavender, Elemi, and Basil, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Dior's Eau Sauvage Extreme 2010 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this "Extreme" doesn't behave like a pumped-up version of the original Eau Sauvage. It's a different beast entirely. A refined, green aromatic powerhouse that’s criminally underrated.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Summer Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

While some find its performance strong, other experience a quicker fade, making it versatile enough for daily office wear without being overpowering. Its clean, elegant, and masculine profile with barbershop vibes suits formal events and dates, though it might be a bit too dressed up for very casual settings or sport.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a sophisticated citrus burst of bergamot, grapefruit, and lemon, quickly transitioning into a rich, aromatic heart. Lavender, basil, and a unique elemi note provide a distinctly herbal and slightly resinous quality. As it dries down, a classic masculine base of vetiver, oakmoss, and cedar emerges, grounding the freshness with earthy, woody depth. Expect a clean, barbershop-esque feel with a modern edge.
