Sauvage EDP

This men's fragrance in a 5 ml bottle is Sauvage EDP by Dior. An eau de parfum sits in the upper half of the concentration scale: strong enough to carry through a working day, restrained enough to wear in an office. Two or three sprays is usually plenty; rubbing your wrists together crushes the opening notes and shortens what follows. Whether it is discounted this week says more about the shop's stock than about the product. Heat and light are what spoil a fragrance, not age — stored properly, an unopened bottle keeps its character for a long time. Whoever is cheapest today may not be tomorrow, so it is worth looking again before settling on the best deal.
