It was was there that I discovered a fragrance which has remained a favorite ever since.
Eau Sauvage was created in 1966 by Edmond Roudnitska for Christian Dior. It was designed as a tailor made fragrance for the active young generation.
The bottle, designed by Pierre Camin in 1966, has not changed since its creation, something quite rare in the perfume industry. The bottle shape is inspired by a flask with glass curves to reminiscent of the lines of draped fabric and the stopper was was influences by Dior's thimble.
A classic since its creation, this was Dior's first men's fragrance and was revolutionary for its simple audacity. It offers a perfect blend of crisp citrus notes with distinctive masculine woody undertones.
The top note, the first and most intense olfactory impression comes from Calabrian Bergamot, grown in southern Italy, brings a distinctive, sweet freshness and adds a special radiance to its citrus notes.
The heart note, its core, which lasts for several hours comes from Hedione and Lavender of Vaulcluse. Hedione's light, airy notes derive from research on jasmine absolute and its floral, jasmine scented and lemony accents combine with the floral and coumarin notes and woody tone of the Lavender.
The base note lasts the longest and can even be perceived on clothing for several months. This comes from Chypre Accord, combining Bergamot, floral notes, Oak Moss and Patchouli, creating a classically elegant and sophisticated fragrance.
It is the perfect balance of these fragrances within Eau Sauvage which have made it the classic men's fragrance from its beginnings. And a favorite with some women who prefer a more masculine scent as well.
Like all fragrances, your own body chemistry will play a large part in how it smells on yourself.
But for me, this is another perfect match and one which has and will remain on my shelf for a very long time.
