Pros & Cons

  • ✅ 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.
  • ✅ 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 and it remains, for more than 6 hours.
  • ✅ Amazing perfume. Works day or night, any season. I understand a lot of people like to hate on it because it is very popular. However I just love it, I could imagine wearing it forever.
  • ✅ This is a green tuberose, as if the flower and the stems are smashed together... I have loved this perfume for years..
  • ✅ Carnal Flower is beautiful, more natural-smelling than Fracas... Ropion did a great job.
  • ✅ realistic reality high quality fragrance, smells like freshly cut of flowers.
  • ✅ It's an absolutely fantastic, relevant, and groundbreaking perfume - One of my absolute faves!
  • ✅ This is a green tuberose, as if the flower and the stems are smashed together... I think the execution is perfect, I love all stages of it.
  • ✅ This is a green tuberose, as if the flower and the stems are smashed together... I think the execution is perfect, I love all stages of it... One of a very few perfect 10s to my nose.
  • ✅ realistic reality high quality fragrance, smells like freshly cut of flowers. green and a little sweet flowers going to the really powdery smell, i love this one, definitely spring summer fragrance.
  • ❌ Foul stench! Made my husband scrub it off. He didn't like it at all and I absolutely hated it. Smells like an old man who peed his pants and tried to cover it up.
  • ❌ 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. I also get a fresh and clean deodorant, shower gel, locker room profile vibe to it, which does not help making shine the other part of the fragance. This is not pleasant on my skin at all, makes me even a bit dizzy every time I catch the scent.
  • ❌ Coconut + bitter green notes leave an overwhelming impression of sunscreen
  • ❌ I genuinely don't see this as a unisex fragrance. At the opening, it feels intensely feminine, almost aggressively so.
  • ❌ Coconut + bitter green notes leave an overwhelming impression of sunscreen.
  • ❌ it can be super strong to the point of being too overwhelming.
