How Dior Created the Boldest Sauvage Cologne Yet
Dior has created a new expression of its popular Sauvage fragrance, called Sauvage Extrait, which is a more concentrated and intense version of the original scent. The new fragrance was created by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, who aimed to push the boundaries of the original scent and create a more sensual and rugged fragrance. The result is a unique and sexy fragrance that embodies a particular kind of masculinity, one that is rooted in the confidence of the 70s and 80s.
