As a private collector of 85 scents, I can verify this is genuinely the real deal Sauvage. The smell overtook me BEFORE I even took it out of the box. The packaging was excellent, with all seals being undisturbed. The cap is magnetized, so you don't have to worry about it falling off and losing it. Sauvage is a nice, masculine, great long lasting scent that seems to intensify at times depending your environment. You WILL get compliments. Women will want to know what it is, he'll.... Your buddies too!
Since it is a parfum, it'll linger longer than most. My recommendations for applying this parfum should be skin on skin... But to each his own
