Pros & Cons
- ✅ A modern classic. Much better than most of the modern designer releases that lean candy-sweet and borderline unisex.
- ✅ This is a bergamot and pepper dream. ... Sauvage defies the awful modern trend of skimping out on body and longevity, and brings bergamot, pepper and 'woodsy' notes back to the fore front where it belongs.
- ✅ Great scent profile with a fresh, spicy character that feels vibrant and well-balanced. Performance is excellent, with longevity exceeding 10 hours, along with strong projection and noticeable sillage.
- ✅ Instant classic. It's only hated because people over spray it. I like it because of how strong and long lasting it is.
- ✅ Smells so clean and expensive, it’s my go to office scent. 2 sprays under the shirt and I get whiffs of it all day long.
- ✅ One of the most popular men's fragrances ever released, but its popularity is also its biggest weakness. It opens with a strong burst of bergamot and pepper, creating a fresh, spicy, and very recognizable scent. Performance is solid.
- ✅ Fresh, spicy, warm, woody, masculine. It's a crowd pleaser and very sophisticated.
- ❌ really do not like. For the longest time this was the reason I thought I didn't like 'masculine' fragrances.
- ❌ Foul stench! Made my husband scrub it off. He didn't like it at all and I absolutely hated it.
- ❌ while i understand the mass appeal, this is synthetic slop. one of the few fragrances that makes me nauseous
- ❌ Mainly a very strong and dominant synthetic dry wood plus random spicy notes mix. ... This is not pleasant on my skin at all, makes me even a bit dizzy every time I catch the scent.
- ❌ Unwrap a Butterfinger and coat it in Vaseline. ... Avoid at all costs.
- ❌ Its popularity is also its biggest weakness. The fragrance itself can feel a little too safe and predictable. The biggest problem is that Sauvage has become extremely overused. Because so many people wear it, it has lost much of its originality.
- ❌ Synthetic slop. One of the few fragrances that makes me nauseous.
- ❌ Mainly a very strong and dominant synthetic dry wood plus random spicy notes mix. This is not pleasant on my skin at all, makes me even a bit dizzy.
- ❌ Overused and predictable. It's a decent fragrance but nothing special.
