Dior Sauvage Extrait

Description

Sauvage Extrait is Dior's first-ever extrait de parfum built specifically for men, a 2026 release from Perfume Creative Director Francis Kurkdjian that reimagines Sauvage as something denser, woodier, and unmistakably more intense. Where the EDT and EDP built their identity around fresh Ambroxan-and-bergamot brightness, the Extrait pulls the concentration into darker territory: a genuine Vietnamese oud heart wrapped in patchouli, cedar, and vetiver. Early reviews frame it as the most powerful version of Sauvage Dior has released, less about the citrus rush of the original and more about slow-burning depth.

Scent Character

A woody-oud composition built on real Vietnamese agarwood, layered over patchouli, Virginia and Atlas cedar, and vetiver, with Ambroxan and lavender lifting the opening.

Translation: this opens fresh and slightly herbal, then quickly descends into a dark, smoky-woody oud core. The densest, most “nighttime” Sauvage in the lineup.

FAQ
