Surprised by Aventus comparisons
Several people say that this is a suitable (Affordable) answer to Aventus. Maybe the sweet top note...a little? But no, no other comparison. Lots of good reviews. For me, though, it smells like hair spray.
Dior Eau Sauvage is an eau de toilette classic. First introduced in 1966, created by legendary perfumer, Edmond Roudnitska, they created a fresh woody fragrance and has his signature luminosity. Notes of lemon, petitgrain, rosemary, jasmine, lavender, basil, hedione, vetiver and oakmoss. This is the standard men's classic cologne that has been beloved since it was first released.
The Hundred Classics Pick (Luca Turin & Tania Sanchez)
From Bois de Jasmin - "The most magical part is the perfect harmony between the disparate elements that result in an original and beautiful impression. Much like Monet’s wide strokes of green, purple and orange magically produce a vision of a bridge over a lily filled pond, the citrus, bitter herbs, and damp woods of Eau Sauvage evoke the crisp white shirt and warm skin of someone irresistibly attractive."
From Now Smell This - "I suppose it smells old-fashioned, even conservative today, but to my nose, it is old-fashioned and conservative in the best possible sense: it smells like something that was made in an era when more time and care was taken with fragrance development, less with fragrance advertising. I hesitate to call Eau Sauvage a unisex fragrance, as there is something rather obviously masculine about it, but women have been wearing it since it was released, just as Roudnitska predicted they would"

Typical excellence from the STC staff. My wife and I both enjoyed this on my wrist. Conjuring a beach landscape with nearby plants, clean blue water, and sun on skin. This was a contender for my daily scent. Unfortunately, it may not have liked me. Not as much as a trace after an hour. This is a classic, I do recommend a try if only for the experience, but hopefully, this will work with your chemistry better than mine.

This fragrance is uplifting and puts me in a good mood when I wear it. Initially the lemon note is predominant and then it settles into so much more. It doesn't project very much, but it lasts longer than I expected. I recently purchased a large bottle because I simply adore Eau Sauvage. (I'm a woman who dislikes sweet fragrances or fragrances that are too floral.)
Dior Eau Sauvage is a truly wonderful experience of a fragrance. I know technically it's marketed as an aftershave/cologne but i just love wearing it as my perfume for daytime. I love the blast of freshness it brings on first spray/splash. It wakes me up and puts a spring in my step in an instant! Reminiscent of Eau Dynamisante by Clarins. Vetiver is strong in this scent for me mossy but also lemony (i guess where the bergamot comes into play) it's also weirdly comforting too. I can't stop smelling myself when i wear it..puts me in a good mood! Men or women can wear this quiet confidently. It's a top scent for good reason..
Classic masculine citrus myrrh scent... Lovely

clean and pleasant, if not a bit boring. poor longevity was a deal breaker for me.
