Episode 361 of Love At First Scent
This was a CZcams Live broadcast streamed on Saturday 15th April 2023. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.
In this episode, I unsealed and reviewed a vintage (circa 1985) bottle of Dior Eau Sauvage that I recently found at a local charity shop.
Introduction 0:00
vintage Dior Eau Sauvage (Edmond Roudnitska) 4:55
current Dior Eau Sauvage 17:17
Here's the blotter update:
- This may be hard to believe, but at the drydown stage, my newer bottle of ES isn't bad at all: quietly leathery-wood. But the vintage is superior in terms of complexity. There's just a lot more going on in the older juice, from the mosses, to the discreet florals to the lingering citruses. It's a three-dimensional portrait of masculinity, as opposed to the flatter image from the current juice.

The unboxing was the most tense moment, but great fun to uncover these gems.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
Such a lucky find. I’ve hardly seen any perfume in a thrift store ever here but how fantastic to stumble upon something like this gem. ❤
Yes, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Nooo! I just missed it live! I’m so glad you were able to hold off until today 😆
Me too. Thanks for watching.
Ohhh I love the thrill in finding out if the juice is good. What a find. That's a needle in a haystack find right there.
Very true.
Thanks for watching.
It made me happy to see your joy 😊 Happy the perfume happened upon a perfume lover and not a scalper who would jack up the price on ebay.
Wonderful as always to hear your historic and artistic commentary and those in live chats.
The quality of mass market perfumes was amazing.
Thanks, Lia. I was so lucky!
Eau Sauvage was my signature fragrance between 1992 and 2002, loved it!
Lots of good memories, I was in my twenties.
I remember it was really long lasting on clothes!
I bought mini bottles of 10 ml from that era(with brown caps) recently and I love them: the opening is very alcoholic but afterwards the magic happens… longevity is not crazy, maybe because it’s old bottles.
The current formula is more focused on the citrus, and very short lived.
NB: back in the days I really didn’t like the Extreme version (too medicinal).
A fantastic limited flanker has been Eau Sauvage Fraîcheur Cuir!
Recently I switched to Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford: same booster vibes and last all day.
Thanks very much for taking the time to write this.
the joy you had when you tried it, like a like child with a new toy... thats passion and thats my relationship with fragrances too
Let's hope the passion never fades.
Oh, it sounds just amazing! I would suspect that the mossy character has become more pronounced during the ageing process. I find vintage scents often share this special charm.
I would also consider that the florals may have faded a bit with time. I doubt that toxic masculinity is a possibility with this marvellous classic unless one would be willing to suggest that all the women who took to wearing this perfume already since the 60s would have happily adorned themselves with this negative side of masculinity, even unconsciously. I own several vintage Roudnitskas and by no means would I have gotten anything of the sort from them. They are far too elegant and well balanced for appearing toxic in any way.(Of course it could be possible that the composition in the 80s has been tweaked a little bit towards the fashionable taste of the time)
Congrats on this beautiful find!
Ah yes -- thank you for making this superb point. Tons of women DID wear ES (and Habit Rouge too, as it happens), which suggests, as you say, that the scent somehow managed to speak to both sexes.
Thanks for watching.
I only buy vintage, probably because I am vintage lol. Seriously though you can't mimic the classics, they were perfection.
Many of them really were exceptional.
Thanks for watching.
Oh my word, Eau Sauvage! Thank you so much for sharing this, thoroughly enjoyed it and the lovely memories it evoked. Btw, yesterday I visited 5, yes 5, charity shops in the hope of spying something fabulous…maybe next time!
I think I’m going to start walking into every single charity shop too.
Thanks for watching.
How fun, I love it when you show a vintage find. I have Dior Eau Fraiche, also called Eau de Cologne Fraiche and the scent was intact on opening but I keep it in the fridge and use it in summer. It's perfectly unisex and I got a 100ml splash for £10 IIRC.
Oh wow, treasure every drop.
Yes, I bought one in the '80s from Paris for my husband. Now, I bought it for my son. He was using it since high school and loves it. It smells so classy.
I’m so glad you like it too. Thanks for watching.
Love these comparison videos!
Thank you.
That liquid colour 😍😍😍 'So full and rrrrrrrich?" 😄 Thank you for this Dariusz!
The colour was astonishing!
Thanks for watching.
ES was the 1st perfume I ever smelled because it was my Dad only signature scent. To be honest, I forgot how the original smell, but when I tested Acqua di Parma Intensa or Essensia one of they remind me of vintage ES
Yes, I can see why.
Thanks very much for watching.
I bought this exact vintage version for my husband last year and he absolutely Ioves it!
Wonderful.
Thanks for watching.
Loving the Rene Gruau t-shirt!
Thank you.
Wonderful find! Eau Sauvage has always been a top 5 fragrance for me, probably top 3. I was recently in Rome and stumbled upon a beauty/shave/purfume shop that had some vintage fragrances like Eau Suavage, Jules, Chanel and Roches. I was so happy to find Eau Savage and Jules, but then I couldn't find it in me to purchase either one at the price. Both were around 350/400 euros Each. As much as I love the classics, I'll have to remember them as such. Thank you for the review and I'm so happy for your excitement.
Ouch! That's quite a price tag. You can see why I was so excited to find a bottle for £65!
Thanks very much for watching.
Wow, Persolaise, a vintage Eau Sauvage! I could smell it in my minds eye as soon as you showed the box, it was very much around when I grew up in the 1980's. My best friend at the time wore both the classic and the extreme, I always bought Chanel pour Monsieur, which I found a bit more subtle and sophisticated. We must heb been the best smelling teenagers on the block!
And the color of that juice!!
A very good alternative to vintage Eau Sauvage is Whip by Le Galion. You should try it if you don't know it, it resembles Eau Sauvage very much, with a very yellow, lemony opening (fresh like a sorbet) and then tarragon, jasmine and a woody base. Very well done and it also has that pleasant vintage vibe....
Thank you for sharing and till the next!
Oh wow, you really were the best smelling teenagers.
Thanks for the Le Galion tip. I never seem to be able to find samples of that brand.
@@Persolaise There's a sample set available in their webshop, but if they were half smart over there, they would just send you one!
I found a bottle of vintage splash Eau Sauvage (1970’s-80’s) with 90 percent remaining juice. It smells heavenly from citrus in the opening notes. Marvellous perfume.
Treasure it!
I do! 👃 just like you 😊
This video made me revisit my ES, which has been left unattended by me for years (I gave my 200ml to my boys and there is still come juice left).
Imo, AdP and Villoresi Colonia are still macho masculine in there current formulation.
I like it when a sophisticated masculine scent is distinctly masculine.
I am going to layer ES now with a few scents... I feel like "cooking" myself my own personal blend :) I have a few ideas in mind.
Ooooh, good luck.
oh WOW
😊
How do feel the old one regarding to weareable and longevity? I really love Eau Sauvage, but unfortunately it has a poor longevity and i want to have it on my skin for more hours. I have an opportunity to buy an 2001 vintage bottle.
The original was always a bit like a cologne, in terms of tenacity. That never used to be seen as a drawback.
Thanks for watching.
What's wrong with CZcams not notifying me again. I missed it once again 😔
Oh dear. I’m so sorry about this.
Don't know if you've noticed but the Kofi link isn't in the description box anymore.
No, Frederik, I hadn't noticed until I saw your comment... and I went back and saw that it was missing from around 40 of the most recent videos. I have no idea how that happened. Thanks very much for bringing it to my attention.
In my view (I am still under 30) rather than becoming less tolerant of overt masculinity, designer scents for both men and women have become more juvenile and brash since the 90s. I seem to be the minority but I can't help but feel patronised by the sweet pink juices that are meant to cater to my gender, always emphasising "girlishness" never "womanliness". The classic green chypres seem unthinkable as "feminine" scents to many now, and it seems almost to be a step backwards in gender norms.
I don't know the men's designer landscape as well, but it seems as far as "toxic masculinity" goes, the obsession with obnoxious "beast mode" fragrances seems a worse offender than classic sophisticated masculines.
Yes, you make a very astute point here, thank you. Feminine has become 'girly'... and masculine has become homogeneous.
I couldn’t agree more.
Would you recommend Terre D’Hermes EDT/Parfum, Eau Sauvage EDT/Parfum, or Beau de Jour?
This question comes down to a matter of personal taste. My preference would be for Terre edt.
@@Persolaise Thank you my friend!
Got first less than one minute❤😂
Thanks for watching.
What kind of Eau Sauvage is that, EDT or EDP (or Parfum)? I've tried both the modern Eau Sauvages, the EDT and the Parfum (if I remember correctly, I think it's straight Parfum, don't have it here with me at the moment). There is a complete world of difference between them. The EDT was a colossal let-down: pure, thin Lemon Drops candy from start to finish, utterly linear and superficial. Not unpleasant, but then Lemon Drops aren't unpleasant either, but who wants to smell like them all day? So then I got the Parfum. Well! Night and day, utterly. The Parfum came through with all the levels and depth and unfolding nuances throughout the day that I was hoping for, and, yes, starting with the wonderful lemoniness but, oh,so much more. I gave away my EDT version as I couldn't possibly use it after the Parfum. Which is my long way of saying that it always mystifies me why online reviewers insist on talking generically about "Eau Sauvage" as if there's only one variety of it or as if we're all simply supposed to know automatically which they're talking about.
The one in today’s video is the EDT. For the longest time, this was the only variant available, which is probably why most people don’t specify which one they’re talking about. Versions such as the ‘Parfum’ are much more recent additions.
Thanks for watching.
@@Persolaise Thank you! I'd love to hear you do a comparison of the two!
@@Persolaise I bet the vintage EDT is incomparably deeper and richer than the current one.
👀👀👀👀👀👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌
😊
The current version is just a joke! Eau sauvage original has nothing to do with the current version! Such a pity!!! They also discontinued eau sauvage extreme concentré! No shame to make a manly Cologne! What heck being open minded has to do with the bad reformulation of eau sauvage? They watered down eau sauvage to make more money voila! Cheerio mate
PS Dior reformulations are truly watery!
As always, thanks very much for watching. The vintage is definitely superior.
@@Persolaise you're welcome! No doubt the vintage version rules! Cheerio
