Eau Sauvage Parfum
2012
“Sauvage's older, denser ancestor — myrrh smoke and quiet confidence.”

The take
What works

- ●Beast longevity in a category that usually disappears
- ●The Eau Sauvage for someone who needs it to last past 2pm
Trade-offs
- ●Lost the airy DNA that made the original a summer classic
- ●Dense myrrh can become headache-inducing in warmth
