Inspired and driven by the power of vast stretches of wild virgin land, Sauvage conquers a new territory in keeping with its pioneering temperament. Sauvage Eau Forte is established as the very first high-concentration men’s composition in a water-based formula free of alcohol, exclusive to Dior.

Inspired by the symbolic, physical and narrative power of water, Francis Kurkdjian imagined a composition that is at once spicy, woody and musky, yet nevertheless intensely fresh. Eau Forte brings opposites together, in the image of a cascade of tumultuous water linking heaven and earth.
“To convey the power of water, I reinvented the signature freshness of Sauvage by moving away from the traditional citrusy notes of lemon and bergamot to capitalize on the vibrant freshness of cool spices. Thanks to the alcohol-free formula, I was able to stretch this freshness to the extreme. Sauvage Eau Forte deconstructs the classic model of a men’s fougère with the invention of a new spicy freshness.” – Francis Kurkdjian, Dior Perfume Creative Director
Sauvage Eau Forte is part of the unexplored territory of a fresh and spicy fougère that celebrates a sensation of unprecedented freshness. Thanks to the innovative use of water to “saturate” the ingredients, an unexpected bond between freshness and tenacity is powerfully emphasized.

The power of water for Sauvage Eau Forte, a water-based formula free of alcohol was chosen to reinvent and extend its signature fresh style. The composition benefits from being formulated using a revolutionary high-pressure nano-emulsion technique exclusive to Dior. A unique aqueous formula is blended with a very powerful oily fragrance concentrate. The result is a highly concentrated water with a characteristic milky colour. Sprayed generously, Sauvage Eau Forte provides long lasting rich freshness via a wide-reaching scent, which extends and maintains the soaring top notes that are usually more volatile. The skin is imbued with the power and harmony of Sauvage Eau Forte for a long time.
