Dior Sauvage Extrait

The Ultimate Expression of Sauvage Intensity

Dior Sauvage Extrait takes the iconic Sauvage signature into a darker, denser and more luxurious direction. Created by Francis Kurkdjian, Dior Perfume Creative Director, this exceptional Extrait de Parfum places precious Vietnamese oud at the heart of a sophisticated composition built around leather, patchouli, vetiver and cedarwood.

More concentrated and distinctly more woody than the original Sauvage compositions, it creates a powerful and sensual presence while retaining the fresh aromatic DNA that makes Sauvage instantly recognisable.

From Fresh Bergamot to Precious Oud

Sauvage Extrait opens with Calabrian bergamot and AOP lavender essence from Provence. The bergamot provides a bright citrus freshness, while lavender adds an aromatic quality that keeps the opening recognisably connected to the Sauvage family.

The fragrance then moves into its darker and more distinctive territory. Precious Vietnamese oud introduces deep, leathery and animalic facets, creating an intense contrast against the fresher opening. Dior describes this oud as revealing unique honey and frankincense nuances.

In the dry-down, Indonesian patchouli creates a dark and enveloping woody character, while Madagascan vetiver adds lighter, creamy facets. Virginia cedarwood provides a smooth and noble woody structure, completing the powerful composition.

Is Dior Sauvage Extrait Right for You?

If you enjoy the Sauvage DNA but want something darker, richer and considerably more luxurious, Sauvage Extrait offers a very different experience. The addition of Vietnamese oud and leather gives the fragrance a deeper and more sophisticated character than the familiar Sauvage Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum.

This is not a fragrance designed for subtle application. Its exceptional concentration and powerful woody character make it particularly suited to men who enjoy fragrances with presence, depth and a luxurious niche-style feel.
