When it comes to perfume, French people have their preferences. For these gentlemen, for a long time, Sauvage by Dior was the reference. From now on, another perfume seems to be taking over little by little. Here’s which one.
For some people, perfume is a real signature. They wouldn’t change it for the world. Thus, historic fragrances, such as La Vie est Belle by Lancôme for women or Sauvage by Dior for men, have been at the top of sales for many years.
Trends that evolve over time
But things change and on the feminine side, a new perfume is sacred”women’s favorite fragrance” this spring. On the men’s side too, a new wind is blowing through the world of perfumery: while Sauvage by Dior was “the best-selling perfume in the world, for men and women alike” as reported by Les Echos, Eau Sauvage takes its revenge.
