CHRISTIAN DIOR SAUVAGE AFTER SHAVE

Sauvage After Shave Lotion puts the Dior fragrance into a traditional splash formula meant for use straight after shaving. It opens with the same peppery Calabrian bergamot and settles on lavender, ambroxan and cedar, but much lighter than the Eau de Toilette, so it stays close to the skin and fades within a couple of hours. Being a lotion rather than a balm, it is liquid and cooling on application, with the short bracing sting that a classic aftershave gives. Pat it on with the palms rather than rubbing it in, and let it dry before you dress.

Expert Answers

What does Sauvage After Shave smell like?
It tracks the Eau de Toilette closely: peppery Calabrian bergamot at the start, then lavender, Sichuan pepper and geranium, settling on ambroxan, cedar and labdanum. The aftershave version is noticeably lighter and drier on skin, because it carries a fraction of the perfume oil the fragrance does.
Does this aftershave sting?
It is a lotion rather than a balm, so expect a brief cooling bite on application, especially if you have shaved closely. That sensation passes in under a minute. If you shave daily or have reactive skin, a balm formula is the gentler option; this one is for men who want that traditional aftershave feel.
How should I apply it?
Rinse with cool water, pat the skin dry, then pour a small amount into your palms and press it onto the face and neck. Do not rub it in. Let it dry before putting on a collar. A little goes a long way; most men use noticeably less than they would of a spray fragrance.
Can I use it under the Sauvage Eau de Toilette?
Yes. The aftershave lays down a light, matching base on the skin and the Eau de Toilette is sprayed over it. Because both are from the same line, the notes line up instead of clashing, and the result holds more steadily through the day. Apply the aftershave first and let it settle.
Is this the same as the Sauvage Eau de Toilette?
No. This listing is the aftershave lotion, which is a grooming product for use on freshly shaved skin. It is far more diluted than the Eau de Toilette and is not meant to perform like one. If you want the fragrance itself, the Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum and Elixir are separate products in the Sauvage range.
