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 Summer Fall

Bright citrus and aromatic freshness make Eau Sauvage Parfum ideal for spring and summer, but the resinous, woody base adds enough depth for crisp fall days. Its radiance fades in the cold, making it less suited to winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Formal
Also Works:
Date

Moderate projection and refined character make it an excellent office and formal scent, classy and never overwhelming. Its sophisticated freshness also works for casual outings and day dates, but it's not designed for sporty or ultra-relaxed scenarios.

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
  • Geraniol from Rose
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Eau Sauvage Parfum opens with a radiant burst of Calabrian bergamot and citron, their tart brightness smoothed by aromatic lavender. The heart pulses with earthy, smoky vetiver, subtly green and mineral, while a thread of hedione and wild flowers adds a fresh, airy lift. In the base, Philippine elemi resin and labdanum lend a spicy, resinous warmth, enriched by gentle hints of cinnamon and star anise. The result is a seamless evolution from sparkling citrus to woody, resinous depth-a sophisticated, quietly assertive fragrance that feels both timeless and resolutely modern.
