Eau Sauvage • Extrait •

post #1 of 119
Thread Starter 


Pure perfumes for men are all the rage now. An Extrait de Parfum of Eau Sauvage is coming from Dior. Myrrh and vetiver galore...
post #2 of 119
if this is done right, it's going to be terrific!
post #3 of 119
Oh wow, I like that trend! I'm interested.
post #4 of 119
I wonder if it's gonna be indole city, or just superstrong on the citrus/green aspects I always loved most about Eau Sauvage ???
post #5 of 119
I hope it has nothing to do with that awful new relaunch of ES Extreme.
post #6 of 119
Interesting... I'm glad masculine parfums are coming into style. I'm looking forward to this.
post #7 of 119
What is your source? There's nothing about it on Dior's official homepage.
post #8 of 119
I like the idea of this, especially after seeing what Demachy did with some of the Privé Collection stuff.
post #9 of 119
Interesting. Wonder if it's going to be a limited edition like Fraicheur Cuir.

Eau Sauvage appeared to be a cologne, fresh and light but not too fleeting. It made sense as such. I can't imagine that a pure perfume would amplify especially this effect.
post #11 of 119
I don't think they will or can extend the citrus top notes of the original. vetiver and myrrh addition makes sense though.

the part that doesn't make sense is an "eau" becoming a parfum.
post #12 of 119
Nice. Just tried the EDT for the first time at Sephora and was surprised how much I liked it. Hope to try this one for sure.
post #13 of 119
Wow! A very good news. Thanks for sharing this.
post #14 of 119
I am not a big fan of the original, so don't have high expectations. But I guess we shall see....
post #15 of 119
Sounds wonderful.
post #16 of 119
If this is the new rage, gimme Egoiste extrait!!
post #17 of 119
I cant see the rage for masculine Parfums. What are the others?
Terre dHermes and La Nuit de Lhome, maybe the discontinued Limpact de Por Un Homme are the only ones that i know.
post #18 of 119
Also, it could be named Parfum Sauvage.

Sounds better uhm?
post #19 of 119
Ps: Im outrageously excited for this, as a lover of the Eau Sauvage (should try the cuir and extreme soon)

would be really awesome !!!

considering the historic rivalry between those two fashion giants, maybe Chanel will react somehow but I'm afraid it won't be related to Egoiste!
post #21 of 119
If this really is the new trend, I think Guerlain, Puredistance and Xerjoff may have had some influence...
post #22 of 119
If Dior arrives with their most classic masculine in Parfum, why not Antaeus and Kouros Extrait?
Why not, whyyyy?
post #23 of 119
Guerlain Heritage is great in the EDP version.

post #24 of 119
Great news, in fact Eau Sauvage is one of the scents I so craved for years to see released as EDP/Extrait
post #25 of 119
Wow. I will pass, despite using the regular eau de toilette quite often, but - wow.
post #26 of 119
Hope it smells much better than the Extreme which I have never cared for. Used to love Eau Sauvage edt.

But in this case is Parfum, or Pure Parfum, or Extrait. Different from Eau de Parfum.
There are a lot of EDPs out there, but only a few parfums.
Another one that i just remembered is Habit Rouge Parfum (wich i bought a decant last week)
post #28 of 119
it would be a dream come true only if it is closer to the vintage stuff in smell..the new eau sauvage sucks so much and is so different that i sold 2 out of the three bottles i bought...

Agree, seems we're in the minority though.

I am optimistic however about the concept of creating more concentrated and longlasting versions of traditionally "light" cologne-style fragrances. Trefle Pur is my favorite example, utilizing patchouli, moss, and musk to extend the green light accords.
post #30 of 119
When is this released??
post #31 of 119
This sounds incredibly interesting.
post #32 of 119
I'm glad the designer houses are heading towards extraits. Let's see if they can get some good noses, use high quality ingredients and give niche a run for their money.

They'll have to start thinking different, because offering extrait in of itself means squat, if not executed properly.
post #33 of 119
Again, what's your source? And why myrrh? I wasn't avare, that ES contains Myrrh...
post #34 of 119
I am totally into this ! Recently I ordered a sample of Givenchy Monsiuer just because the reviews relate it to Eau Savage. Eau savage extreme was just my sort of thing but POOF it went off the market without me owning a full bottle.

Can't wait to try this.

They very well can retain the overall character of the contemporary/timeless aspects of Eau Sauvage. And IMO that is the citric and green aspects of it. I'd really despise this if it manifests as an indole/vetiverol monster.
post #36 of 119
I really hope this will be a modernized version of eds in the same way tf gv is a modernized guerlain vetiver. I hope for signature bitter opening, only slightly sweetened, more vetiver/woods and less herbs, dark but subtle amber myrrh drydown...
post #37 of 119
What about an Eau Sauvage Sport version?

I'm blind buying this. Love the original, love most Dior, except Homme/Intense of course

Wow

I respect your opinion. I didn't particularly like the old ES Extreme but it was a interesting, strong and fierce interpretation of the ES theme. This one should be named differently since it's basically a new perfume, which one can like or not but it has IMO nothing whatsoever to do with ES.
post #42 of 119
When they will launch this version?
I want to blind buy it soon!
post #43 of 119
Sounds amazing!!

I will give this a try for sure.
post #44 of 119
and million flankers to follow...
thank you but i would stay with my 200 ml vintage bottle of Eau Sauvage made by Rudnitska

Concentree or Intense? They are 2 totally different fragrances.

I am ready for a blind buy. Hope this will be released soon.

I can't find any supporting evidence for this statement anywhere on the Dior website....... can you enlighten me?
Perhaps you're talking about the original ES Extreme and the more recent, re-formulated ES Extreme?

I really like the most recent version; unfortunately I missed out on the original incarnation.

Also, I'm very interested in this extrait version - if it exists...... has anyone actually seen or tried it yet?

Yes. The old one said "Concentree" while the new says "Intense"

Aha... I thought that might be it.....

I do actually recall now having seen this information in an earlier thread here on basenotes, when the re-formulated version was first released.

Thanks anyway, Monkeybars.

No prob. They are different as night and day. The old/Concentree being night of course. I like it, but I like Lancome Trophee better. Intense is not really my cup of tea . . . I have trouble with many synthetic florals like the ones used in it.
post #51 of 119
I don't know, I'm really pessimistic about this one.
Eau... Extrait... Tell me about oxymorons

Cheer up. There are plenty of perfumes that work across Extrait / EDP / EDT / EDC versions. Not so many traditionally masculine ones, of course, but ultimately it will come down to what Demachy does with it. My curiosity is piqued at the mention of myrrh as an addition for the parfum - let's see what happens.
post #53 of 119
Source? More info?
post #54 of 119
Kouros perfume! Please!
post #55 of 119
I wonder if they will have Eau Sauvage Cuir Fraichuer in extrait form. I love this the best among all Sauvages.

Not without it smelling like a synthetic cleaning product.

I'm also not a fan of Eau Sauvage...

When's Caron gonna get in this game? I would dig a Yatagan Extrait, and I know a lot of people would love a more tenacious version of PuH. (Third Man on the other hand is quite dense and strong enough as is, thank you very much.)

Here's a closer at the bottle, it will be released in may in France. Don't know about the rest of the world, but it's coming for sure.
