Sourced from a Sri Lankan plantation that has worked with Dior for over 10 years, the sandalwood note in Sauvage Parfum boasts rich nuances and exceptional qualities derived from special farming practices. A difficult plant to cultivate, sandalwood is supervised during the early stages of growth and then "released" into a totally wild plantation where nature takes its course. In this harsh, natural environment with no human intervention, each tree pursues its growth, battles to spread its branches and thrive, sometimes reaching 100 years of age and growing over 12 meters tall. This is how its unique olfactory qualities are forged, year after year, to produce the rare, powerful and rich sandalwood note of Sauvage Parfum.
