Sauvage with the lights off.
Calabrian bergamot and Provençal lavender open it on familiar ground, Vietnamese oud sits at the centre doing the leathery work, and Indonesian patchouli, Madagascan vetiver and Virginia cedarwood close it dark and smoky.
Perfumed by: Francis Kurkdjian
Released: 2026
KSI Take: This is the darkest the line has gone and the oud is real enough to surprise anyone expecting the blue-bottle crowd pleaser. It is also the least original thing about it, because the bergamot and lavender opening still announces Sauvage several minutes before the oud turns up. Cold weather and evenings, and go light with it, the extrait concentration is dense.
