Overview
- Dior launched Sauvage Extrait this week and the fragrance is available for purchase at about $205 according to reporting.
- Francis Kurkdjian positioned Extrait as the strongest Sauvage format, designed to be richer and denser than prior flankers such as Elixir.
- The formula is wood‑forward and for the first time in the Sauvage line uses oud sourced from a certified supplier in Vietnam alongside bergamot, lavender, patchouli, vetiver, and cedar.
- Dior says the concentrate was refined over months and then rested through a six‑week maceration to let the ingredients blend and to increase wear time and projection.
- The release expands Sauvage into a new wood/oud pillar that aims at the current demand for high‑performance perfumes on social platforms, though outlets note such powerful scents can divide wearer opinion.
