Eau Sauvage
Fragrance by Dior
Released 1966
Label Parfums Christian Dior

Eau Sauvage is a perfume for men produced by Parfums Christian Dior created by perfumer Edmond Roudnitska. The perfume was introduced in 1966, and was Dior's first perfume for men.

The name of the fragrance is reputedly the result of a late arrival by Christian Dior's friend Percy Savage to Dior's home. Dior had asked Savage to help find a name for a perfume for men. When Savage arrived, he was announced by Dior's butler as "Monsieur Sauvage"; the designer decided that "Oh, Sauvage" would be a fitting name.

On its release, advertisements for the perfume featured French actor Alain Delon.
