Pros & Cons
- ✅ A modern classic. Much better than most of the modern designer releases that lean candy-sweet and borderline unisex.
- ✅ Smells clean and expensive, it’s my go to office scent. 2 sprays under the shirt and I get whiffs of it all day long
- ✅ 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.
- ✅ Amazing perfume. Works day or night, any season.

- ✅ Grand Soir is a masterclass in amber perfumery.
- ✅ This is the most elegant amber-vanilla fragrance ever.
- ✅ One of the best from the brand & one of my favorite warm amber fragrances.
- ✅ This is the most elegant amber-vanilla fragrance ever
- ❌ 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.
- ❌ this is synthetic slop. one of the few fragrances that makes me nauseous
- ❌ The biggest problem is that Sauvage has become extremely overused. Because so many people wear it, it has lost much of its originality and can give the impression of smelling like everyone else.

- ❌ 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.
- ❌ Not for me. The smell reminds me of an old grandpa.
- ❌ A bit too much labdanum for me. Improves as it dries down but too mature for someone in their 20's.
- ❌ I think it’s just a little generic for my taste... There’s some rubbing alcohol presence and a distinct Old Spice kind of accord.
- ❌ I do not understand the hype around this fragrance. It’s just an airy vanilla with some warmth from the amber.
- ❌ overpriced and has a synthetic scent, similar to cheap Dubai perfumes.
