Finally someone who can fairly judge a creation regardless if its massively hyped or popular. This is why people respect you Aaron!

[@steveparadox1]

Totally agree. Sauvage EDT is a great fragrance in my opinion. The Bergamot in it is stunning and the scent is so well blended. It smells classy and really well finished. Some people might hate on Sauvage saying it's such a common scent, but I rarely smell guys wearing fragrances when I'm out. Performance on it is really impressive too

[@javiervelez9817]

@@NotstarvinMarvin same thing will happen with the elixir. Once enough people buy it and with its enormous strength, people will start getting annoyed by it.

[@lorenzodemedici6332]

I don’t anybody that dislikes the way Savauge smells. Most people just don’t want to smell like everyone and their dad.

[@bewley7]

Exactly

[@thegoodfoke3606]

@@steveparadox1 the edp and elixir are a thousand times better imo

[@OtherworldJudge89]

Sauvage EDT is a modern classic. Will be timeless, I feel. Even twenty years from now it will still be popular, like a Acqua Di Gio

[@michaeldaugette802]

This explains so much in such a great sort of a Feng Shui sort of way , very in touch with with every aspect such a professional! Best review of this fragrance I've ever seen !

[@0707Dannyhamer]

I love the way you take reviews to another level! I have a company that makes and sells the best clones but I’m now stoping and progressing into decanting original designer and neiche fragrances to make the more available and affordable to everyone and I’ve just purchased your raw cherry and will purchase more soon!!! Thankyou

[@OhNellly]

I think Sauvage has also done a great job of turning people on to the fragrance world. We need fragrance like Sauvage to draw new people in and keep the fragrance world alive, thriving and well. Obviously the overwhelming majority of fragrance lovers started with designer fragrances before moving into niche. There for I think Sauvage and the likes help the niche industry as well.

[@Erick-hr5mv]

So the next man can smell like you too. ? Gtfo lol

[@applenrd]

Thank you for taking the time to share your expert analysis and unbiased opinions with us

[@llollercakes]

Always love watching your videos; they're relaxing and educational. I don't know if you've ever gotten your nose on Parfums De Marly Kalan, but I think that would be a great one to see you do a video on since it's such a divisive fragrance.

[@jdmb03]

Thanks Aaron. Sauvage EDT is always a pleasure to wear. I gravitate to EDP and Elixir once in awhile, but EDT is the most universal.

[@juliochingaling5824]

Excellent review Aaron. God bless.

[@briantaylor9578]

Fantastic review as per usual 👌

[@cliffordnorton2674]

Yea love this review - wore this after gym this morning - fragrance staple!

[@fartzerelli1385]

The opening bergamot blast is so pure, quite magical really.

[@Pursuit_Of_A_Homestead]

The way you describe scents, good or bad, is so unique that I feel like I’m right there smelling it…I find myself scrunching my nose when you describe scents you’re not a fan of and closing my eyes enjoying the scents you like and I’m not even there hahaha love these reviews !

[@711Slurpies]

I love the background; it's like you're in heaven where you belong haha. Much love man!

[@dep1001]

Another great insight and review, Aaron. Everybody and their mom are wearing Sauvage so because of that I'm turned off by it, but surely a good frag. Cheers

[@wow3130]

As always love & appreciate the videos how much you have progressed since you first began! Quality is SUPERB!! Also could you possibly review Soleil Neige - Tom Ford would love to hear what you have to say! (((:

[@joshmccabe9517]

Love watching your reviews Aaron. I'm new to the whole fragrance journey, but really enjoying it. I love your opinion on Robert Piguet Atomica ? I love it but I think it's a very individual scent. Love your work 👌

[@timcunningham6932]

Your reviews are the best

[@daniellabuda7744]

I own this perfume, and yes, this is very nicely built. Very inspirational review. Thank you so much Aaron.

[@pheonixeternal8981]

I got a tester of the edt of sauvage and I was hooked

[@frankmagyar4212]

Absolutely love your videos Aaron. The methyl pamplemousse made me think of a product my company produces sustainably through fermentation for Givaudan, nootkatone. Have you ever encountered it as a raw material? In formulation, it is a very interesting mixture of herbaceous, cannabis notes with a strong grapefruit smell. It is one of the compounds in the grapefruit peel hypothesized to be a protectant against insects. It's also used as a flavoring for citrus sodas because its very safe and non toxic. Hope you find this interesting. Cheers!

[@zbraganza]

You have an old review. Glad for the change of heart

[@boongyify]

Happy to hear your thoughts on this

[@YellowBrickFloyd]

Thank you, Aaron, for your honesty, expertise, and multi-faceted presentations. This fragrance takes a lot of no so friendly fire, but I agree that all things considered it's a 10/10 I believe that at least some of the negative opinions come from "over application" of this fragrance when just a few sprays is plenty. Other citrus type EDTs for example yes 5-6 sprays, but personally it's too much for this one...just a guess IMHO.

[@133taxi]

Great tutorial Aaron very informative. I went out and purchased a bottle of Sauvage edt to see what all the hype was about . I do Salsa & as you know it is a close up dance , I have had compliments before on my cologne ie channel platinum egostie, but when I wore the sauvage the women said how great I smelt , I am a young 73 & can definitely recommend Sauvage edt. Thank you for your recommendation 👍🏻

[@everrgreen42]

Aaron, I'm a big fan! I like how you spray it and just get into it! Except this one you left the spray part out I quite like that part don't remove it. Love the way you tell it, cheers brother!

[@nucleus2211]

Aaron great video like always, i enjoy them very much, i have one question do you know by chance if the dior sauvage edt 2019 batch has been reformulated? Thank you in advance.

[@cheekster777]

Thank you Aaron.

[@zlizeko]

you can tell how Aaron is doing by listening to his tone of voice when he says: "I am fantastic and I'm doing really well"

[@sillagescents]

Agreed! It’s a 10. Thanks for an honest review in spite of the hate this frag gets!

[@mrserious9619]

Aaron thank you for your amazing reviews and free fragrance education 🙏. Right now I have come to appreciate fragrances differently thanks to you and I’m saving up money to test you fragrances since I have a feeling I can trust you because of your ethical views on perfumery and your expertise. I have a feeling I will absolutely love your fragrances and am looking forward to it. And I would happily support your passion in that way. Keep up the good work.

[@RirtyDascal]

I really enjoyed the EDT and though I had a feeling I'd like the EDP better so when the EDT ran out I bought the big refill bottle of the EDP. Turns out I love em both equally. EDT more for spring and summer and EDP for fall winter. Can't forget Elixir for winter too but that's a totally different beast. I absolutely love the refillable bottles too as it helps bring the price per ml down a bit more and it's a slick little system.

[@vasquezinvoker3714]

Is the Performance for 300ml refil , when u refil the bottle still good ? Still the same ? Im thinking to buy 300ml refil for my edp but Im afraid about the quality of a 300ml bottle

[@sabrinatirabassi3529]

I can smell bergamot! It's one of my favourites! Thank you, Aaron. I didn't know how lucky I am

[@genki2genki]

I'll have to check it out again. I don't care how popular it is, but my first impression of it wasn't positive. Thank you for the brilliant review, Aaron.

[@anthonyb4515]

I remember when this one first came out and I got my bottle from Macy's. It blew my mind at the time and my bottle from 2015 still smells so amazing. Dont' wear it much anymore because my taste in fragrances have changed and that scent profile reminds me of college. Dior went over the top with Elixir which I think is the best in the Sauvage in the line. When I'm not wearing niche and it's super cold in the midwest, I often grab elixir to cut through the cold and smell amazing.

[@luisramz5249]

Precioso Aaron te subiste a este tren llamado Sauvage

[@robertreynolds2212]

After owning all of the variations, I always come back to EDT. It’s so aromatic compared to the others & inoffensive. You could wear it literally anywhere.

[@RirtyDascal]

I can't wait until you do a video on Fahrenheit le Parfum.

[@robertpatterson3108]

At first I was thrown for a loop. Aaron likes Sauvage? I guess I’m so used to reviewers crapping on Sauvage but I should have know a real perfumer would dissect and look at this fragrance for what it was and is, a beautifully constructed fragrance meant to smell pleasant and appealing to the wearer and those around them. I think that’s what most reviewers hate about it, that it’s not exclusively their signature scent. As always, another great review.

[@Lov3A11Rac3s]

Aaron, it would be a JOY to have you review Xerjoff’s Golden Moka. I find it to be so unique, low silage but long lasting. Very beautiful, you may enjoy

[@CaliConnexion]

Awesome review. Holy shit Aaron your longer hair looks cool as fuck on you. YOu look like a movie star. Love from South America

[@steveg8707]

I would love a vid on the history of perfumery. And styles of perfumery (like french vs Italian vs middle eastern)

[@Reza-hy9sw]

More people needs to watch this.. bashing sauvage becomes a trend…every new KZbinr does it to get attention 😊

[@cuchanu]

Trend or not (I haven't noticed it) I personally think it smells way too juvenile for me. It smells okay, but not at all natural smelling which is a huge turn off to a lot of people.

[@kalencwil3924]

Nobody bags it. KZbinrs shill savauge all the time. It’s really boring

[@pheonixeternal8981]

ABSOLUTELY divine scent I prefer the woody scent of the EDT I got a tester of sauvage edt when I ordered invictus edt

[@jdotrillah]

I’ve said it since Day 1, for what it is Sauvage is a masterpiece. Just like BR540 is a masterpiece. Both were a huge pivot in perfume making after IFRA regulations.

[@renegadebrad7448]

I'd be curious to hear what you think about the parfum version of dior sauvage Aaron after smelling this edt, I expected the parfum to be equally as strong but on me it's like a savauge light, still smells good but nowhere near as powerful performance and a little bit darker than the edt i think

[@ryne1625]

The Sauvage DNA is genuinely good, but the EDT is rather light. The use of vanilla in the EDP enhances the sweet of the ambroxan very much. That being said, Sauvage as my first fragrance holds a special place in my heart

[@TheRealCristiancandelaria]

It’s has a special place in my heart as it’s what got me to love fragrances !

[@marshjj3788]

The edt is pretty damn strong. 4 sprays and you'll fill up the room with that opening.

[@CinHotlanta]

I agree - I have the EDP and the Elixir, and for me those are the two best expressions of Sauvage.

[@Yourcheerz]

EDT is rather light? Try old bottles lmao

[@TheRealCristiancandelaria]

@@Yourcheerz edt definitely ain’t light lol , I’m pretty positive I got one of newer batches and I think it’s strong already so I can only imagine a older batch

[@growandgame]

Sauvage was one of the first designer frags I bought and one I still use frequently. I also agree with Aaron on every point made, however, I would add that it's a compliment beast. I have other frags that get lots of compliments, but it's the way people compliment Sauvage that stands out. Tbh, its a huge turn-on.

[@juanbustamante86]

I love your shirt! Where did you get it!?

[@ymugalul]

Hope you get to review Sauvage EDP and the Parfum

[@ConnorTaylad]

Hi Aaron, I like Sauvage EDT, could you review the EDP and compare?

[@robusto7735]

EDT’s from the 90’s and 80’s last an eternity….today, not so much. Sauvage EDT is an exception. This is a summer dumb-reach for me. Citrus fragrances don’t last long on my skin and clothes but this one does. Great review as always!!!

[@elliothm8370]

Those first JPG Le Male lasted an eternity!

[@mikacmiky]

Try dior homme sport 2021

[@Beardsome10]

Try Afnan 9pm, best dupe of jpg ultra male. Smells exactly like it and last 12+ hours with beast mode projection.

[@irvynenorellbayot8865]

Hi Aaron, hope you can review the Leather Oud from Dior's private collection. Love from the Philippines.🦄

[@James7995]

I really appreciate modern blue fragrances in terms of their chemistry. They’re not my favorite genre, but I appreciate what they do.

[@dopameanx9547]

Aaron - can you please compare the construction of Sauvage EDT to Layton by PDM? They feel almost reverse where the pepper sits lower on the Layton but overall very similar scents. I would almost wear Sauvage casually or during the day and Layton in the evenings when I wanted a bit more refinement, but very similar to me. Interested to hear your note and construction comparison. Ty!

[@onixtheone]

Do you have any suggestions for alternatives that do a similar thing that sauvage edt does at a lower price?

[@dennis1248]

Can you review YSL Y edp, I would love to watch your thoughts on that one

[@MCWon212]

After getting covid in 2021, I've become anosmic to many top notes including bergamot 😢 Still love the EDT

[@Harry-tj8of]

How many sprays of the EDT would you recommend? I will get mine in a few days (therefore it will be the new batch) and don't want to kill my colleague in my office 😅

[@JeffRage]

I love bergamot! But, I'm one of the people who gets a headache from Sauvaage EDT. I like Prada's Luna Rossa Carbon as an alternative.

[@justbrowsin4r]

Is there any way to get your fragrance in Cambodia. I have been watching your reviews and looked into your stuff. Your range looks very intriguing but there is no way for me to get them here without double shipping. 😅

[@raphaelreves7871]

Ive been wearing edt since 2017. I only encountered 5 person wearing it up until now.

[@tomaszzajac2266]

Next time Boss Bottled from 1998. One of the most popular croud pleasers in early 00s. I'm curious how it got old in your opinion.

[@cristianconstantin46]

Love the Edt by Sauvage 😆

[@knockcro]

Just happy memories with this fragrance, LOVEforME.

[@santeripe]

I get migraine headaches from many fragrances that don't smell harmonious. This one is exceptionally harmonious and beautifully put together. Robust wall of scent and strong projection without being a single bit annoying. Even if I didn't know that it was popular, I would be amazed by how balanced and expertly crafted it is! You can tell someone very talented spent a lot of time working on it. One of the most "finished" fragrances I've ever smelled.

[@Banggeek]

How about the sauvage EDP ? BRO

[@pisamakesplayz]

Savage edt will always be one of the best fragrances ever made such a master piece 🙌 ever girl in Macy's are on tge doir savage stan all the time 🖤

[@ernestorodriguez6392]

Well the newer batches suck big time, i had a 2021, after half an hour you can't smell it, forget about projection zero nothing nada 🤣. I was lucky to find a 2019 batch, man what a huge difference.

[@ruddle1168]

[@flowmeful]

I just bought a bottle of the Edt after 7 years. Better late than never i guess

[@aarshsaraiya3654]

Does it project?

[@bigpapykane]

To me Sauvage edt is Demachy’s 9th symphony. It’s a beautiful fragrance!

[@markburgess8603]

I find it gets heavy to tolerate as the day wears on, It's probably all the ambroxan it's loaded up with.

[@jimlittle5769]

Love Dior Sauvage EDT, EDP and Elixir. Somehow it's a bit of a miss on the Parfum, IMO. Doesn't really project, and the scent is just off. Not that it's bad, but the others are FANTASTIC!

[@BrandonBaileyIG]

Hey! where'd you get your shirt?

[@DabCityyy]

Rabdom.. but I just bought initio side effect. Waiting for it to clear customs

[@Slimbk13]

Awesome review as always, I love how much you can detach from you personal preferences when doing them and appreciate the fragrances for what they are. I wonder if you can also get you hands on Chanel Allure Homme Sport, mind you this a different fragrance from the Eau Extreme which you already reviewed. Different notes, comes in EDT concentration and it's something that others besides my self regard as timeless. Considering how much you love french perfumery, I believe you'll also enjoy making that review.

[@justso1823]

Agree. The richer and smoothiest of the first 3 Sauvages. The Elixir is an outsider

[@hc8771]

I've never smelled the edp or parfum and I own the elixir but I cannot stand the edt. It must be me but the only fragrances I've ever scrubbed off me were Halloween man and Dior Sauvage edt. It has the most linear cheap soap smell from opening to drydown, I get no notes of anything but pink soap dispenser soap. On me.

[@lofihifi792]

Honestly I never wear my Sauvage outside of the house bc of all the hate it gets from other fragrance reviewers. It’s so good though, it’s felt like a guilty pleasure - after seeing this though I’m going to start wearing it outside the house lol.

Sauvage EDP is my fav out of the line, excluding elixir! I had my og batch of Sauvage edt and quickly went through it fast back in 2015/2016 days, the EDP is just divine and even though I have niche scents and a huge variety of scents in my collection I’ll always keep a bottle of Sauvage for nostalgic purposes way back when.! I know it’s everywhere nowadays and everyone uses this but it sure is legendary

[@jtdenton1483]

[@YouCanBeTheBass]

The habibis in the club always wear this fragrance

[@del-marmare1646]

I definitely then am nose blind to Sauvage and YSL fragrances. I honestly don't get it. They smell like deodorant to me. I hate that I don't enjoy them, cause I'm probably missing out on something rather charming. I have Bleu de Channel Perfum, which I absolutely adore.

[@proverbs279fragrances]
