These describe how the fragrance is generally reported to behave. Skin chemistry, weather and how much you apply all change it, so your own experience may differ.

Reviewers consistently remark on the quality of the materials.

Reviewed profile

Lemon and basil kept crisp over vetiver and oakmoss. A classic aromatic freshness, clean and dry, with the herbs giving it a timeless, unhurried elegance.

The Signature

Unmistakable. Always has been.

You arrived with a signature and you've never needed to explain it. Consistency is its own kind of confidence. Some things become part of the room before you do.

Reviewed profile. This profile has received a focused catalogue review.

Warmthcool, open0.27

Projectionmid-range0.45

Eau Sauvage sits mid-range on projection. That is 34th percentile for projection across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Riskfamiliar0.19

Eau Sauvage is broadly easy to wear, familiar in its structure. That is 19th percentile for risk across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Texturebalanced0.42

Eau Sauvage carries some body without feeling heavy. That is 22nd percentile for texture across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Sweetnessdry0.05

Eau Sauvage keeps the sweetness pared back, dry and austere. That is among the lowest in the catalogue for sweetness across 5,283 scored fragrances.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
