Sauvage Eau de Parfum
A fresh woody fragrance built around ambroxan, ambrette seed, spicebush, ambroxan base, pepper. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Sauvage EDT
Bergamot hits first — bright, slightly sweet, almost citrus-soda — then pepper (both kinds) sharpens the opening into something dry and almost electric. Lavender and geranium soften the heart without going floral, keeping it clean and slightly herbal. The real engine here is ambroxan, a skin-musk molecule that drives the dry-down into warm, mineral skin territory that reads as distinctly male without being heavy. Projection is loud for the first two hours, then settles into a tight, persistent sillage that stays close all day — Never disappears, just quiets. — Best in warm weather or transitional seasons; the office, the date, the errand run where you want to smell effortlessly put-together without trying too hard.
How they overlap
Sauvage Eau de Parfum and Sauvage EDT share 2 notes (pepper, ambroxan). The same note name doesn't always mean the same scent — different houses use different vanillas, different woods, different musks — but a multi-note shared spine usually does indicate genuinely-comparable wear character. The remaining notes (4 unique to Sauvage Eau de Parfum, 4 unique to Sauvage EDT) are where the divergence happens.
