A fresh and lightly scented formula for subtle yet long-lasting
protection.
This fragrance blends tradition and modernity, in the spirit of
the house of Dior.
Its fragrance take on the iris a rare note in mens perfumery -
in a precise, pared-down formula.
The result is a powdery woody floral, luxurious and resolutely
masculine: a new generation classic.
Aromatic Woody The Classic New Generation...
Top Note
LAVENDER: Lavender is mainly a floral and coumarin note with a
woody facet.
The essence is extracted by steam distillation using freshly cut
flowers.
The mysterious, sensual quality of lavender is revealed in the
top notes of Eau Sauvage Extreme and Dior Homme.
Heart Note
IRIS: Iris absolute is one of the most precious ingredients of
the perfumers palette.
The extraction process is very long and complex.
The rhizome must first be treated, then left to dry for at least
three years.
Its extraordinarily powerful, almost all-pervading scent has
characteristic powdery notes and a green woody facet that has
comforting overtones of freshly baked bread in the heart notes of
Dior Homme and Dior Homme Cologne.
Base Note
VETIVER: Native to India and Indonesia, but also found in Haiti
and Reunion, vetiver is a perennial plant whose fragrant substances
are contained in its roots.
The essential oil is obtained by steam distillation.
The lingering scent of vetiver is used in woody, chypre and
oriental compositions.
Vetiver brings its daring and sophistication to the dry-down of
Eau Sauvage, Higher Energy and Dior Homme, and its free spirit to
the heart notes of Fahrenheit 32.
