Eau Sauvage is a perfume for men produced by Parfums Christian Dior. The perfume was introduced in 1966.[1]
It was created by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska.[2]
"Eau Sauvage" was the first perfume for men by Dior.[3]
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.[4]
On its release, advertisements for the perfume featured French actor Alain Delon.[5]
