Sauvage is a genuinely well-liked fragrance with broad mass appeal and legitimate positive qualities, but its massive popularity and oversaturation have led to mixed community sentiment. While many praise its pleasant smell and compliment-generating power, others criticize its ubiquity, strong projection, and association with negative stereotypes, suggesting marketing success partially exceeds the actual product merits.
