And it plays a long game: Sauvage lasts all day, and it wears well in every season. Each one has an army of fans behind it, that it creates some infighting of loyalists to one scent over the other. After nearly picking Red, a green light went off in my head: Polo, the original! The green bottle! Obsession leaves a positively potent impression, and imprints you beautifully in the nose of the beholder. It coasts into the afternoon with deeper base notes: Amber, tobacco, cedar, sandalwood and musk join with vetiver for a warming experience.
Expect a lot of compliments with this fragrance. Definitely a great smelling fragrance. Within the first hour you will project very nicely and people will definitely smell this on you but as the day goes on, it becomes shorter and more personal in terms of projection.
The best way to describe Dior Sauvage is sharp, sexy and very alluring. Freshness, pure masculinity, divine. This is definitely a unique scent, you will be very lucky to find anyone else wearing this which is a very big upside. Performance : 9. It goes strong for hours on end and you will still receive compliments till the very end of the day.
The projection is perfect, not too crazy and not too subtle, just the right amount of projection, people will definitely smell this on you and the freshness of your scent when walking past anyone will have them turning their heads. Celestia: I like Chrome too. It has a nostalgia factor for me. I too am awestruck! I sniffed this yesterday in a magazine, and was put off by it pretty quickly.
Maybe if I had actually tried it on I may not have disliked it as much. But one less lemming is always a good thing, so its probably better that I never know what I really think of it. The biggest disappoitment of last years. Citrusy copy of a cheap Biotherm Homme Force. Not bad scent, but shameful for the house Chanel. AntonPan: What can I say?
Tried it yesterday and hated the top notes. I think this is very unisex. Best on skin IMHO. Great review Kevin. Which do you prefer, Blanche or Bleu?
Tastes may differ. Yet to me Bleu is a loud failure, a mountain has brought forth a mouse, and it does smell greyish and mousy and at best as raw mushrooms.
One department store assistant told me that apparently people are not buying it, surprisingly for Chanel, no matter how omnipresent the ads may be. I have tried it for two weeks now, and have finally given up. And even if I had to do a well-paid product placement review for Bleu, I would still end up with a very cautious text…. Chanel is the most famous fashion house in history, and my personal favorite.
I hate to say that I think this scent is very disappointing, and seams to not have much creativity as well. Earnest Beaux creator of No. This new mens fragrance is really bad.
Not worthly of the Chanel label at all. I make perfume at home, and have sold a good bit. I hate to say it but I could make a better scent. Nice review, Kevin. Joe: HA! Funny…a commenter above made me choose between this and Blanche…I had to choose Blanche. But I soldiered through and am piqued…but also concerned with the listing of grapefruit, peppermint and ginger. These were three prominent ingredients in Bulgari Blu both Femme and Homme which were scrubbers for me.
How do they compare? Whatever the fragrance, good or bad, Chanel or wet dog, I still enjoy reading your reviews Kevin. Even if it is a genre fragrance, Chanel will surely do it well, with good raw materials.
They have to make money, but they also have to maintain the trust of their fans by not putting out dreck. And Chanel quality is undeniable. I do like dogs, and the picture is lovely, but I have my limits.
Is it a prominent note? Great, thanks for clearing things up! Maybe it will be available online in spring. I was going to give it a real test on skin anyway. I think it is a MESS on paper. I could tell there are interesting aspects and some nice materials.
Edition Blanche is more successful, I think, in spite of being a flanker. I really need to wear Bleu to be fair. Tim: if I had only Bleu-scented paper to go by I would not have reviewed Bleu. I have to admit that the scent sounds dreadful to me, but I enjoyed reading your review, Kevin, as always! Thank you Kevin for a very even handed review, even if it is all very reminiscent of the pre-war British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain saying that he thought Mr Hitler was a reasonable fellow.
Instant coffee even if done well is still instant coffee. Today, companies like Chanel live and die on the sales of accessories, make-up and fragrance. And tastes do change as we all know…how many times times do I hear Chanel No. Really now! Explain then why its is the sought after fragrance. It is the number on saler, and Chanel has done a good job of presenting No.
And yet, Coco Chanel got famous by transforming tricot knits and shopgirl dresses — downmarket junk, essentially — into haute couture. Interesting comment. Nope — she did it very, very successfully, and it looks like opinions are divided as to whether Bleu accomplishes the same trick. Oh please lady go away. You have no class. Go wear Gaultier then you will look silly and like a slut. I tried this one on paper a few days ago. I felt that it was a decent perfume but reminds me more of the Abercrombie retail store rather than the ocean or Chanel.
What a great review. I have not sniffed Bleu so I have no idea whether I agree with you or not on the actual fragrance, but I do agree that business is business. But at the end of the day, businesses survive by turning a profit.
Unpleasant, but true. There is a time for niche-type querky fragrances and then there is a time for the big seller to a new younger market to support the querky. It is all good, really. Hey, times change, tastes changes. Just be open to it and if you like it.. I smelled this on paper the other day and hated it. Maybe it needs to be tried on skin but I was put off enough to not want to go there. Money saved! Congrats on getting through it!
