Eau Sauvage Parfum by Dior (2012)

One name. Christian Dior. A name which instantly brings an image of class and luxury to those who hear it spoken or read it on a label, It has established itself as a brand of quality and that is definitely shown in it's fragrance range. Just look at that picture! does that look like something you would see worn with an Adidas tracksuit? or something you would see on somebody's dresser next to a priceless vase. Yeah, that's my dresser.....40 years from now.

Now some basic information: This is a flanker for the original classic Eau Sauvage Eau De Toilette from way back in 1966, this version is Eau De Parfum and lives up to it's bigger brothers reputation as being a classy, sophisticated scent which will never let it's wearer down, this version is more complex than it's original and has even gained a few extra fans who were not fans of the original fragrance.

Now let's talk about the bottle: The bottle is very classy, it just screams "I'm a sophisticated gentleman who wears Italian shoes and drives a Mercedes, oh and btw, I'm only 21!" Nah just kidding about the age part! but it really just add to it's class, the black label, the grooves on the bottle and to top it off it has a very nice magnetic cap! love it!

Now the fragance: On initial spray Eau Sauvage Parfum smells almost identical to it's older brother with a burst of 60s style citrus, with a slight more complex creaminess added, however as nice as this sounds, the REAL treat is the drydown where the creamy vanilla kicks in, this is about 60 minutes after application, you will honestly think you are wearing a different scent, but that's the magic of Eau Sauvage, and it really is magic.

Now where to wear it: This perfume doesn't lie when it says "Eau De Parfum" it really performs like one, i get 12+ hours with every wearing and a good 5 hours of that it projects heavily so I would say 3 sprays MAX with this one. Now it is far from a casual scent, nor is it the best work scent, it is however good for work if you go easy on the sprayer, but depends where you work, if you're head of a massive corporation and attend board meetings in your Armani suit often then sure, rock this daily, but if you work in say McDonalds then maybe not so much, however if you do work in McDonalds and wear this, I salute you! however...your co-workers might not.

Now for a date, this depends who you are dating, if you are with someone with no concept of fragrances what-so-ever and only wears fragrances she gets gifted and isn't into it much? Eau Sauvage Parfum may not be the best choice (See Joop! Homme for an alternative) however if your date is into fragrances and enjoys them other than proposing to her as fast as possible because you know female fragheads are a rare find! then do take her out to a fancy restaurant (aka NOT Nandos or KFC)

Now for the conclusion: Eau Sauvage Parfum is a perfect choice for fragrance lovers, you won't be reaching for it daily, but when you do, you will need Mr Dior to ensure you smell you're absolute best!. Eau Sauvage retails at £51 per 50ml from Dior boutiques, and smells better than other niche fragrances costing £200+ so that alone is a reason to buy it!. Do yourself a favour, get off the internet, go to your nearest Dior boutique and buy some Eau Sauvage Parfum
