How is Eau Sauvage Parfum different from the original Eau Sauvage EDT?+−
The EDT (1966) emphasizes sparkling citrus and crispness. This Parfum reformulation shifts toward deeper, warmer territory—the bergamot is still there, but the resinous base with Philippine elemi, labdanum, and star anise takes center stage. Think of it as a lower octave of the original concept rather than a direct recreation. The 2017 version is meatier and longer-lasting while remaining fresh.
Is this fragrance masculine, feminine, or unisex?+−
It's classified for men and reads distinctly masculine—mature, professional, and understated rather than flowery or soft. That said, fragrance isn't gendered; anyone drawn to aromatic citrus-vetiver scents will find it wearable. The lavender and wild flowers add refinement without feminizing the overall impression.
How long does it actually last on skin?+−
Longevity consistently runs 8–12 hours, which is genuinely impressive for a citrus-forward fragrance. Projection starts intimate but builds through the day. It won't fill a room, but it will remain noticeable through a full workday without requiring reapplication.
