Sauvage Eau de Parfum for men

Mostly sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice. Underneath that, bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel.

It opens on bergamot, moves through sichuan pepper, lavender and star anise, and settles on ambroxan and vanilla.

• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does
• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
