So, I’ve always been fascinated by how things are made, especially stuff we use every day, like a bottle of Dior Sauvage. I mean, it’s just a fragrance, right? But it turns out, there’s a whole process behind it. The other day, I decided to actually look into it and I’ve got to say, it was quite the journey!
First off, I started with the basics—what’s actually in this stuff? I found that the top notes are bergamot and pepper, which give it that initial spicy kick. I grabbed a bottle from my friend, took a sniff, and I could definitely smell those right away. Then, the middle notes are a mix of Sichuan pepper, lavender, pink pepper, vetiver, patchouli, geranium, and elemi. This is where it gets interesting because it’s a bunch of different scents coming together. I tried to pinpoint each one, but it’s like a big smell party in there. Last but not least, the base notes are ambroxan, cedar, and labdanum. These are supposed to make the fragrance last longer, and honestly, it really does stick around all day.
Here’s where it got hands-on:
- I got a refill bottle to see how that works. You just turn it upside down and screw it onto the main bottle. It’s super easy, no mess, and it stops filling up by itself after a minute. I did this a couple of times, just to make sure I got it right. It’s pretty neat how it doesn’t spill a drop. I took a bottle, put the refill head down, and screwed it onto the neck of the main bottle. I timed it with my phone’s stopwatch, and it really did stop right around the one-minute mark. That is a good invention!
- I also looked into where Dior gets all these ingredients. Turns out, they source them from all over the world. I even made a little map on my wall, marking each location. It’s like a global treasure hunt for the best raw materials.
Trying it out:
I wore Sauvage for a week, just to see what the fuss was about. It starts with a burst of citrus, which I think is the Calabrian bergamot. It’s super fresh and wakes you up. Then you get hints of pepper and lavender, which makes it kind of classy. People definitely noticed it—I got a few “you smell good” comments, which was nice. Honestly, it’s a solid scent, I get why it’s so popular. It’s strong but not too much, and it lasts a long time. Spraying it on my clothes it lasts all day and doesn’t fade until I wash them.
So, that’s my deep dive into Dior Sauvage. It’s not just a fragrance, it’s a whole experience, from the ingredients to how the bottle is made and how it makes you feel. I had a blast figuring it all out and wanted to share it with you all. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
