  |  I like the wet citrus-like opening, which in this one is classic. Kinda like sweet mandarin. Only to make you smell like a Grandpa after 10ish minutes. This stuff is for ages 75 and up. Till then NO THANKS.02 September 2008 |

| A potentially delightful citrus experience is defiled by the heavy handed use of pungent herbs. 30 June 2008 |
 | to me was great and innovative in the 60's but got old, very old nowaday... 17 December 2007 |

| There's really no reason that I shouldn't like this. I like classic citruses. I usually like prominent herb notes in fragrances. But something about this one doesn't work for me at all. The herbals make it smell dirty rather than spicy and natural. No, wait, it does smell natural, just in a slightly dirty way. Now, there are certain fragrances that should have some unclean undertones. Azzaro PH, for instance. It is what it is. But this is supposed to be refreshing, light, clean and formal. Those notes, whatever they are, don't belong here. But really, that's beside the point. I just don't like it much. 24 July 2007 |
 | I do have great sympathy for old style citrussy perfumes. And in a way this is IMHO really a good fragrance. The lemon and basil are truely natural. It is fresh and non-offensive. However,I will never wear this stuff, I actually hate it. It's a depressing scent to me, this is how my uncles smelled at funerals when I was a kid. 23 May 2007 |

| Nothing to smell here except the LEMON, and LOTS of it! I never really understood the fascination with this fragrance. Who wants to smell like a lemon? Now if they threw some kind of tobacco top notes in there this could be much more interesting. Instead, it is a flat, citrusy odor with little to no evolution. :( 21 May 2007 |
 | Here's my theory. A certain percentage of the human population still carries a miniscule amount of Neanderthal genes. And there's a really simple way of distinguishing them from the rest - spray liberally with Eau Sauvage: a wonderful masculine citrus means your pure Cro-magnon. A nice citrus topnote, followed by an atrocious "smelly old man"/fecal/body odor scent, sorry, you're part Neanderthal. The government eugenics people posing as createurs des parfums at Dior knew this of course and tongue-in-cheekly titled their project Eau Sauvage. Unfortunately, my genes are clearly contaminated. Thank god the stuff fades so quickly. 14 June 2006 |

| Did you ever hear a song for the first time and love it, but then, by the 10th hearing, you're just sick of it? That is Eau Sauvage for me. Liked it very much long ago; now I just can't tolerate it. 09 March 2006 |

| I hoped it would be the classic the buzz purported it to be. No. A bitter green with lemon and vetiver. Dated, and not for me. Harsh. 15 January 2006 |

| I cannot understand why some people like that! It is too strong, too spicy! Soe think it is typically male... I think it is disgusting 15 January 2006 |

| I wanted to believe the hype and love this scent so badly. However on me it's a rather dull citrus with an offensive body odor note. It alse fades within an hour of applying. Ugh. 07 November 2005 |

| So this is the great and mighty Eau Sauvage, I must say I am not very impressed. Im having a hard time understanding all the praise bestowed upon it. Its just.........lemon. Not an overly sour or strong lemon but just a boring steady lemon smell. Sure it worked well in the 18th century to cover up the stench of B.O., but whats the appeal of it now? I guess I'll count out Acqua di Parma. 10 March 2005 |
