What do reviewers say about Carven Vetiver and Eau Sauvage?
Here's the thing about Carven Vetiver: it's the original. Created in 1957, it came before every other vetiver fragrance you're comparing it to. Some people want vetiver loud and aggressive.Carven Vetiver
Every house has done a fresh fragrance. The problem is most of them stop there, the opening shine, then blank. Eau Sauvage Cologne is different. François Demachy put all the energy in the top but made sure the heart has substance and the base has weight. It doesn't smell like most colognes, which smell like air fresheners and waiting rooms. Dior's version smells like it just walked in from the Mediterranean coast in the sunshine, citrus and woody depth coexisting, making you remember this isn't your grandfather's herbal remedy.Eau Sauvage
