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 Winter

The creamy sandalwood, resins, and vanilla give Sauvage Parfum a warm, enveloping character that excels in fall and winter, but the citrus opening allows it to work well in spring. It can be too dense and sweet for the hottest summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and elegant composition make it versatile for dates and casual evenings, while the richness is slightly bold for close-quarters office or sport. It can suit formal events if applied judiciously.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Sauvage Parfum opens with a burst of juicy Calabrian bergamot and spicy mandarin, quickly enveloped by creamy sandalwood and glowing resins. The base is rich and smooth, blending smoky olibanum, tonka bean, and sweet vanilla into a warm, enveloping trail. This is a darker, more sensual take on Sauvage, trading the EDT's raw metallic edge for a sophisticated, ambery-woody richness that lingers with confidence and allure.
