Released 1966 | Label Parfums Christian Dior | |
Eau Sauvage is a perfume for men produced by Parfums Christian Dior. The perfume was introduced in 1966.
It was created by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska.
"Eau Sauvage" was the first perfume for men by Dior.
The name of the fragrance is reputedly the result of a late arrival by Christian Dior's friend Percy Savage to Dior's home. Dior had asked Savage to help find a name for a perfume for men. When Savage arrived, he was announced by Dior's butler as "Monsieur Sauvage"; the designer decided that "Oh, Sauvage" would be a fitting name.
On its release, advertisements for the perfume featured French actor Alain Delon.
