Sauvage Very Cool Spray

Finally got around to buying this one, knew it was a safe blind buy Bc I own and love every other sauvage fragrance. The bottle is unique of course, and a bit strange when you unbox it, as it is so light in weight and not in a glass bottle, so initially it’s hard not to feel like you just paid 80 dollars for a body spray haha. However this is certainly not the case, as this lasts and projects just as much, if not more so, than the original sauvage Edt. Projection seems to be increased actually, to be honest. My girlfriend immediately noticed this and was like “wow you smell good...” after I told her what it was, she was surprised and even said “I’ve smelled your Sauvage so many times but never has it been that strong and fresh”, which in this case was a compliment, BUT, also something to keep in mind if you work in an office or something, this is beastly and definitely NOT a glorified Axe body spray, it’s strong and one tiny press of the sprayer will give you a huge BLAST of fragrance. This may also contribute to increased projection of course, so go easy on this in the gym or office, it’s absolutely not meant to be sprayed as liberally as a deoderant body spray. Scent wise, it’s unmistakably Dior sauvage, which means a few things: it’s an incredibly versatile and bold fragrance (personally I love it!), but it also means it will be polarizing and garner strong reactions, whether they be positive of negative. I can very much detect the grapefruit, it’s really nice. I noted that many reviews said this felt more citrusy and lighter, which is a justified comment, but keep in mind this fragrance is still significantly dense, even though this is the most fresh and airy out of the four sauvage formulations. It’s nowhere near being a light, breezy scent like Dior Homme Sport or Dior Homme Cologne, two of my other favorites. The citrus blast is very pleasing, but I also felt like the pepper-y spice was still very, very noticeable, which isn’t a bad thing. Overall the biggest thing I noticed, is this blend feels much less dry than the EDT, it’s a lot more juicy and “wet”. I definitely wouldn’t say it’s sweeter, it’s just more citrusy, which to me comes off as a bit more tart and juicy. The Parfum is easily the sweetest of the four. I also noticed the drydown has less of that dry/scratchy feeling. A fantastic formulation of a legendary fragrance line, it’s not here to sway anyone... if you don’t like sauvage, this will absolutely not change your mind, in fact you may even find this to be the biggest offender of the entire line and curse Francois Demachy to hell for creating such a thing in the first place (and make sure every last one of us here knows how much you despise it, too). Me, I love sauvage very much, but of course I understand why some people don’t. It’s wild, an overdose of spice, raw AF and can be aggressive and overbearing, but it’s also magical and addicting and gets compliments and attention like no other fragrance I’ve ever worn. And I don’t even wear fragrances for compliments or attention, honestly. I wear it because I love the smell and it makes me happy. It seems a significant amount of other people seem to agree when I wear it. This is a very fine addition to the line, and a perfect option for carrying around in your gym bag (just don’t freakin spray it all over before you work out, you’ll choke everyone out with this beast haha). Projection and longevity are both outstanding, possibly the best in the entire line. If you own the EDT, you could do without this, but if you’re a fan of sauvage it’s an easy blind buy and different enough to warrant a full bottle (can?) purchase. I’ve yet to find a creation by Francois Demachy that I dislike.

Dior Sauvage Very Cool Spray is 90% Dior Sauvage EDT which too me unless you spray light is very metallic and headache inducing. I don't like that fragrance but the drydown is amazing. Dior Sauvage Very Cool Spray takes Dior Sauvage EDT and lightens it with an added grapefruit note but it takes a back step by putting it in an aerosol spray can. I actually love it but don't like the spray can. Sauvage Very Cool Spray opens with a very pleasant and lighter grapefruit note. It doesn't make the scent as dense as the EDT is. That said, Very Cool Spray's grapefruit don't always last and within about thirty minutes you get the standard Sauvage smell. That said, it isn't as metallic and knocking out with sillage as Sauvage is. You get pepper, lavender and ambroxan as your main notes after the grapefruit dies off. Very Cool Spray lasts pretty good. It is like an EDT Axe. That said, unlike the original, the open don't lasts (though that just blends into the drydown and it settles into the drydown and that lasts a good amount of time. I find it lasts about 10 hours from a normal three spray. That said because it is an aerosol and has continuous spraying, be careful. I can get the 10 hours pretty lightly sprayed. Very Cool Spray works best in the spring summer and warmer fall days but not really a night scent. It is a very casual and work friendly scent though I think it shouldn't work for dates being Dior Sauvage is a common DNA with many duplicators like Luna Rossa Carbon, Aqva Atlantiqve, Dylan Blue, Armaf Ventura and even Jimmy Choo Man Blue having similar drydowns if not being on the nose. Dior Sauvage Very Cool Spray is to me the best part of Sauvage (the drydown) with a lighten up open. For this I rate Sauvage Very Cool Spray a 8.2 out of 10. I just wish someone would bottle it in traditional spray. Jimmy Choo Man Blue is fairly close but no grapefruit and jumps right into the drydown.

I really don't like Dior Sauvage and all its versions. I think it's really annoying, and the ambroxan note is so overwhelming that it makes me nauseous. However, I found what I was looking for in Sauvage Very Cool Spray. Dior Sauvage Very Cool Spray is a fresh and innovative version of Dior's iconic Sauvage fragrance. This fragrance comes in an innovative and convenient packaging design, a 100 ml Eau de Toilette Air Spray, designed to be practical and travel-friendly. It can be sprayed while tilting the bottle or even upside down, making it ideal for on-the-go use. It's also environmentally friendly thanks to Dior's innovative air spray technology. Contrary to what the name or packaging design might suggest, Sauvage Very Cool Spray is not a body spray but rather an eau de toilette with a full-bodied formula similar to a traditional perfume. However, the aerosol spray technology makes it similar in application to a body spray, yet it retains the quality and texture of a real fragrance. Designed by renowned perfumer François Demachy, the fragrance belongs to the Aromatic Fougère fragrance family. This version features a fresher composition than the original Sauvage, with a refreshing dose of grapefruit at the top, giving it a lighter, more vibrant character. Sauvage Very Cool Spray is less intense than the original Sauvage EDT, making it suitable for everyday use, especially in spring and summer, or in settings that require a light, unobtrusive scent, such as work or daytime events. It has an average longevity, lasting approximately 3-4 hours with moderate sillage, making it a practical option for reapplication if necessary. The aerosol spray produces a light cloud of fragrance, allowing for even distribution and making it ideal for use in settings such as the gym or while traveling.

I'm surprised how much I like this one. I hated the original sauvage, not because it is popular or hyped, I genuinely hate the smell of the edt. It sort of has a nice shower gel bright opening but it quickly dries down into an incredibly synthetic and obnoxious mess. There is some piercing, sharp metallic thing in the edt that is so annoying to me. I think sauvage edt is maybe the worst fragrance I've ever smelled. Despite that, I bought the very cool spray because some YouTube video recommended it for summer. This is a clear improvement over the original. It takes away all of the overly synthetic peppery abroxan bomb and adds a lot of lime and grapefruit. It smells much brighter and uplifting and performs basically the same. Maybe it doesn't last quite as long but the edt lasted almost too long and the late dry down was a really bitter, ambroxanny musk smell that I hate. This is much better. This is also a very good value. I paid $59 from a retail store last year. It looks like the price is going up though. I just wish that they sold this in a regular spray bottle. The aerosol is almost impossible to accurately measure and one second of a spray is like a monster cloud of sauvage. You also can't transfer this to a travel atomizer. This is a great fragrance though. I just wish they sold this in a glass bottle. They could call it sauvage eau fraiche.

I love it! As I love all Sauvage fragrances regardless of how much hate they might receive from some folks. This is strong and lasting, it is true that you use a lot more each time you apply the Very cool spray, but even if I over apply the EDT to try to compensate the difference on the amount juice coming out between them two, the very cool spray still is a lot stronger and longer lasting. If I had to choose between EDT, EDP or Very cool spray I would pick either the spray or the EDP since they both smell great and have great performance. I am still on my first can of very cool spray, so I can't tell how fast this will run out. I was hesitant to buy VCS only because of its format, but from now on I will either go for EDP or VCS, no more EDT for me. If because of its format it runs out faster, then my choice will defintiely be EDP. Also, it sucks you can't bring it in a carry-on on at the airport / flight. I'd say longevity around 10h being skin scent and becoming faint, good turning into decent projection for about 5 or so hours. On clothes lasts way more than that. UPDATE: My experience after trying VCS for a couple of weeks is that it starts strong, but on the long run EDT ends being more noticeable throughout the day. So, yours truly is back to using EDT as signature.
