It’s a lighter version of its older brother;

But you can definitely tell that they’re related.
Also, don’t get me wrong when I say that it’s a “lighter version”; as it still resonates with the swagger that Sauvage brings. It’s just a pinch closer to the skin than it’s EDT brother. It’s got kind of a “rounder” feeling of the edt scent drydown, and it’s much more doable as a work fragrance. (It isn’t going to make the scent sensitive people cringe, or get a headache).

I decided to give it a chance when I read a review that said it reminded the person of the classic DK leaded/unleaded scent (which is my all time favorite). After picking it up and trying it out, I can see where they make a comparison (it’s relatively close to DKU as it goes from opening into drydown), but it’s not really THAT close.

While people that are into fragrances are definitely going to KNOW that it’s a part of the Sauvage line, it is definitely more of a compatible fragrance to be used in a work environment than the rest of the line is. When it hits the drydown the projection radius and sillage trail are much shorter and less pungent than the EDT and EDP versions. I’ll say it projects to maybe a 2ft radius maximum and the sillage trail is much softer in resonance. Personally I think it’s as vibrant as the rest of the line is, but that’s a relative statement; that means if you like/love the line, it’s just as great, and if you hate it, it’s going to be as bad as it always is. It’s all up to your choice of perspectives; that is how close they are to each other.

Coooooool

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.

"Sauvage" arrives and attracts compliments like few new releases in recent years. That much is certain. But it also polarizes, having an extremely metallic-synthetic fresh-out-of-the-chemical-lab vibe mixed with an overdose of pepper. The new Very Cool Spray, also an EdT, is a fresh, zesty, and icy variant that will at least somewhat reconcile with the critics. I like it a lot, and that's why it promptly found its way into my shopping cart at the airport before my summer vacation. Just too sexy of an all-rounder to leave it for €50. No regrets, I say after a few days in Mauritius. My girlfriend loves it like few fragrances in her collection. That's something a man can only welcome ;)

The Very Cool Spray is unmistakably a Sauvage; die-hard haters of the original will surely not add it to their collection. However, I could appreciate this one more than the many critics, even though it never quite made it to a purchase for me. This freezy version of the Dior blockbuster is neither Light, nor Acqua, Extreme or Summer, not Ultra or Intense or Fresh. Just a streamlined, younger, and more agile version. Since I never owned the original, as mentioned, there are certainly better experts for comparison. However, since the Sauvage scent is hard to get out of your nose due to its potency and now widespread popularity, you can still recognize differences well enough.

I would describe the "Sauvage Very Cool Spray" most as a sport or summer version, but I'm glad that at least different paths are being taken here in terms of name and design. Very Cool is Casual Chic, but it actually works anytime. Even more so than the original. In a suit or at the beach, for sports or in the office - this DNA is a jack-of-all-trades. Aluminum grapefruit meets freshly showered with smooth Bossaura. If you like the original, you can't go wrong with this pseudo-deo. What a refreshing and eroticizing shower. Almost confidence and fun to spray on. Could set a trend. Let's see who jumps on this clever move first.

Bottle: the mightiest sprayer of all time. Feels like half a ml per spray. Insane. Some deodorants spray less. I'm afraid I'll use it all up on vacation...
Sillage: not a killer like the original... a bit more subtle
Longevity: "only" 4 hours

Conclusion: for me personally, the Very Cool Spray is better and more pleasant than its bestseller daddy. I understand both fans and haters - "Sauvage" has extreme highs and lows. This new chapter is a hit with a sense of finesse.

Sauvage 2.0 - Facelift or Deo-Style?

Over the months, I found myself liking the controversially discussed and rated EDT more and more. Reactions and comments were either heaven or hell, with not much in between. For me, it’s not a scent that makes me click my tongue, but it’s definitely a good bit above average. Its big plus: it’s suitable for any occasion and never feels out of place; the reactions from customers/colleagues/friends have always been overwhelmingly positive. What more could you want?
When I saw the first announcement about the "Cool Spray" 2-3 weeks ago, I was more than skeptical. My first thought was, oh my God... isn’t the regular care line enough? Does it really need to be another so-called "Body Spray" like Tom Ford? But due to the very positive initial reactions, I bought the "luxury deodorant" blindly; unfortunately, I couldn’t find a tester in any perfume store!? Quite a bold move for the price;-)!
After using the "Cool Spray" for 2 days now, I believe it’s not a classic body spray, so a diluted version for summer, for example, or the cow is now being milked until the bitter end. Okay... the opponents of this fragrance will of course see it that way... want to... that’s clear, but marketing, advertising, and the fundamental way of marketing a fragrance interest me zero and niente. Not even with Creed.
Rather, the scent feels to me like a "facelift," as we say in the automotive industry, or a "model revision," to put it plainly: spruced up and slightly optimized. That’s exactly how Sauvage comes across to me now; the top note is now significantly more citrusy, a mix of fluffy lemon and bitter grapefruit, and I can now only smell the white pepper significantly toned down. In return, I now perceive the cedarwood note much more clearly and very naturally, which slightly reminds me of Narciso’s Bleu Noir, and I really like that! Everything feels more homogeneous, balanced, and natural now; nothing jabs or scratches in the nose anymore... like, for example, the Ambroxan in the EDT, which never bothered me, but I can understand why some reacted very sensitively to it. Everything feels fresher now and refreshes wonderfully. I could only notice the "cooling effect" for a few seconds; maybe that was just due to the sprayed liquid being imagined. The whole scent feels to me like a further developed EDT - not an Intense, Ultra, or L'Eau. The scent does come across as a bit "lighter" or "more transparent," but it’s not. It could be due to this "deo-style" and the way you spray the scent on. It’s somehow super casual; it has a deo-style but also somehow doesn’t. In my statement yesterday, I wrote "a mix of Prive and deo." I would prefer the "bottle" to be a bit heavier, then it would feel a bit more "valuable," but it’s okay as it is... I’m just very curious whether the 100ml is like 100ml in the EDT or if the bottle empties faster due to the sprayer... which would be very expensive, but even so, the €75 is very borderline... €50 would have sufficed...
Whether one needs both, the Cool Spray and(!) EDT, is of course up to everyone themselves; I believe, however, that one of the two is sufficient here, even though I like the Cool Spray a whole lot better than the EDT.
The longevity for me is about 6-7 hours; in the first hour, the sillage is splendid and then falls apart deo-like(?) into itself.
Conclusion: Absolutely great and very successful scent/relaunch/version, smells totally delicious and fits perfectly into the current and upcoming season!

Objective

In the last days and weeks, one could once again follow live how some members maneuvered themselves into a corner with subjective assessments of certain fragrances. You could read along as lovers and wearers of specific scents were seemingly placed in a corresponding category. In a blog, the entire duel could even be tracked. Do not misunderstand this paragraph. It is not meant to reflect a judgment of individual opinions.

People, relax. We are a very, very large community with all facets and riches of life. From over 14 to over 60, from teachers, bricklayers, athletes, to lawyers, everything is represented. From lovers of fresh-fruity-modern scents to classic enthusiasts to oud fanatics, everything is present. Everything, really everything of every color. And as life is, not everyone likes everything. That is a law of nature and that is a good thing. Here in Cologne, we have a saying for this: "Every Jeck is different."

Personally, I also do not like comments that want to cast a certain wearership in a particular light (whether intentionally or unintentionally). Nevertheless, I view such comments with ease.

This fragrance here belongs to those that are fundamentally discussed controversially.
Either you love it or you hate it. Honestly, I have rarely read anything in between so far.

The Very Cool Spray unmistakably starts like the EdT. It is the same scent. It is Sauvage. However, it is a bit fresher and friendlier. The synthetic base mood is the same. Slightly sweet, fresh, and creamy. When this "extra" freshness subsides a bit, the normal Sauvage DNA becomes more apparent. It feels like the EdT, but with less pepper and ambroxan. Lighter in its basic orientation; however, definitely not lightweight. A little "less wrapped."

The longevity and sillage are, in my feeling, still very good.
I must admit, I find the bottle somehow cool and the sprayer is amazing. Please learn from it. As much as comes out with the Very Cool, I believe no other bottle produces that much.

However, I probably will not (yet) buy it. I simply do not like it (yet).
But still, I can understand the lovers of this perfume. For a modern scent, it is simply very well executed compared to many others of its kind. Here, you can clearly see the quality of Dior.

And one thing I must also admit fairly: You receive compliments (which is not important to me, as I wear fragrances for myself). It seems to be perceived as very interesting due to its sillage.

I hope that was objective enough.

In conclusion, it should be noted: Wear what you want! A lover of classic English scents will hardly find pleasure in this fragrance and vice versa just as little.
