"I wanted to keep Sauvage's character and its very confident, very virile temperament while preserving its strong and faithful scent. But I didn't want the perfume to 'shout', so I recorded it step by step, reconsidering all the balanced elements of the composition. I wanted to 'open it up' rather than reinforce it, giving it depth and additional nuances." - Francois Demachy, Perfumer
