Dior Sauvage Extrait expands the fragrance range as its most concentrated edition to date. Released on July 31, 2026, the parfum was created by perfume creation director Francis Kurkdjian and introduces Vietnamese oud to the collection for the first time. The formula blends oud with patchouli, cedar, vetiver and lavender, producing a darker woody composition. It contains 49.75% fragrance oil and undergoes a 42-day maturation process before bottling.
Johnny Depp continues as the face of the fragrance line, extending a partnership that began with the original release in 2015. The actor appears in the latest campaign film, maintaining a role he has held across Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum, Parfum and Elixir editions. Promotional imagery retains the series' recurring outdoor settings and minimalist styling while introducing the newest scent. A 50ml bottle debuted in the United States at a retail price of $205.
