What do reviewers say about Eau Sauvage and Riviera Verbena?
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
Patricia de Nicolaï doesn't do throwaway citrus. The calone here adds an aquatic lift that keeps the herbs and verbena aloft long after most colognes would have faded.Riviera Verbena
