Eau Sauvage Parfum (2017 version)
Christian Dior (2017)

I haven't had the chance to try the 2012 formulation yet, so i can't compare.

As for the 2017 formulation... if you are planning to buy this EDP instead of the EDT, thinking it is merely a stronger concentration of the classic... don't... or do after reading this, because it is similar to the classic but it's also quite a departure from it. To me it smells a bit as if parts of the formulations of Eau Sauvage and Fahrenheit have been mixed together.

I find this works rather well, it still has that aura of a classic though it's less smoother. There's some roughness to the edges, as if the notes don't blend so smoothly into each other. Some notes seem coarser and others seem sharper.
If you are not being told, it might come as quite a surprise. But personally, i like it.
Now its up to you, if you like it or not :)

And since that we're talking about mixing up formulations...what about Eau Sauvage and Joop?
Or has this already been done?
Any other suggestions?

Wanting an amped up, better performing original Eau Sauvage EDT version and reading this was it, I purchased a decanted sample. While I can clearly detect the similarity, they've added notes that make this more warm and less fresh. Actually, I think it strays into smelling very much like New York Intense by Nicolai. In that case, I recommend it.

This is not the 2012 version, which is one of my favorites. The 2017 version is more loyal to the Eau Sauvage EDT than the 2012. It's just as strong and long-lasting, but in the end (especially compared to that wonderful 2012 myrrh drydown) not as wonderful as the 2012 version. It starts with a blast of lemon and lavender followed by vetiver and elemi. It lasts until the next day.

Old-school barbershop in the same vibe as Acqua di Parma Colonia and Penhaligon’s Sartorial. The lemon opening is a bit brutal but it softens into a warm spiciness, ever so slightly powdery and soapy as it dries down. It’s quite ‘classy Grandpa-ish’ - distinguished, formal, but warm inside. An ideal scent for a tweed jacket-and-tie lunch in your eighties. Just can’t see myself reaching for it for a few more years yet.

The citrus really helps this version out by lifting the composition, and giving a little breathing room to the other notes. And I do mean little, as this still wears pretty heavy.

The 2012 version wears thicker and heavier, and is the more formal of the two. This is perfect for office in the fall through early spring, but in heat and humidity this can be a real choker.

I've never worn more than 3 sprays, and the performance is phenomenal. 12 hours later I'm still getting steady wafts.

8.5/10

I tried and originally was thinking not special or unique but after a few wears i was convinced as others that this is both complex and wearable in various scenarios. One thing I believe worth mentioning, and yes its my interpration only, I get a distinct Fahrenheit feel after the initial top notes dissipate somewhat. Lovely in any case and I feel it is not for casual wear less you are enamored and don't give a flip.
