Dior Eau Sauvage
"A revolution in 1966, Eau Sauvage has since become one of the great classics in Men's Fragrance. Absolutely wild and resolutely sensual, the first fragrance for men by Dior embodies the timeless elegance of the House, with balance between natural simplicity and elegance." --dior.com
To describe Eau Sauvage, I would quite simply give Monsieur Dior's definition of elegance, which was 'a balance of simplicity, attention, natural and distinction.'

Field Guide: Calabria - Sweet Tart
Erin Flaherty heads to the south of Italy in search of citrusy bergamot. Bergamot may well be the world's original "designer fruit": It's thought that Arabs first cultivated the chartreuse-colored blend of bitter orange and lemon that's almost too tart to eat - but pretty to look at and pleasant to smell. In the 1700s, bergamot landed in the southern Italian region of Calabria, now known far and wide for growing it. The fruit's scent is somehow bold yet subtle, both faintly sweet and strikingly crisp, a perfect juicy medley so sophisticated that it had become a perfume world MVP and one of the most common notes in both men's and women's fragrances. ...Here in Calabria, our love affair is renewed. Just as Florida has its oranges... this part of the Mediterranean boasts acre upon acre of bergamot orchards. ...I stop by the family owned Capua factory, where the fruit rind is cold-pressed in order to extract the essential oil. The company makes exquisite, high-quality oil and is a major provider to Christian Dior, a perfume house known for iconic bergamot-infused blends such as Eau Sauvage and Eau Fraiche. This month marks the launch of Feve Delicieuse, an addition to the La Collection Privee line, a luscious, earthy-sweet Oriental fragrance with top notes of - you guessed it - Calabrian bergamot....

Raw Power
Some of these experimental ingredients are so novel that they border on unnerving.
Hedione
In 1959, Firmenich discovered a chemical that captured the airy, transparent quality of the jasmine flower. Perfumer Edmond Roudnitska mixed it with citrus to create Dior Eau Sauvage, one of the most popular men's fragrances of all time. Today, it's very difficult to find a fragrance that doesn't have Hedione in it.
