Dior Sauvage sometimes has limited performance when it’s applied to dry skin. Its Eau de Toilette version tends to last a bit less than Eau de Parfum, Parfum, and Elixir versions.
Some men raised the question of Dior Sauvage not lasting more than 2 hours. This is a common issue with some truth to it. Most of the issues with Dior Sauvage’s lasting smell can be explained through Eau de Toilette concentrations applied in just a few sprays. These bottles need to be sprayed a bit more.

Dior Sauvage that doesn’t last might be an Eau de Toilette concentration. Another plausible cause is using a fake Dior Sauvage bottle as counterfeit Sauvage doesn’t even last 2-3 hours.
