About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Balade Sauvage is François Demachy's 2018 unisex composition for Dior, built around a fig tree accord that feels sun-warmed rather than green. The opening is bright and airy: bergamot and petitgrain sharpen ozonic notes, while the heart expands with fig, fig tree, orange blossom, and a solar effect, touched by peach, rose, hedione, and sea notes. The base grounds the scent with pebbles, amberwood, labdanum, and vanilla, giving a dry, mineral-woody finish. The dominant woody and citrus accords (100% and 91%) keep it crisp and unisex, with fruity, aromatic, green, and sweet facets adding complexity.

This suits collectors who want a fig-centric fragrance that avoids syrup or coconut clichés. It is ideal for warm weather, daytime wear, and anyone who appreciates a transparent yet lasting woody-citrus profile. The pebble note adds a distinctive stone-like texture, making it a thoughtful choice for those who enjoy mineral or solar fragrances. If you like Diptyque Philosykos but want more citrus lift and a drier base, Balade Sauvage is worth seeking out.

Real or fake: video authentication

Filmed in the hand: a genuine bottle compared with a counterfeit.

A bottle-in-hand comparison of a genuine Christian Dior Gris Montaigne (2013) against a counterfeit. The video walks through the details that are quickest to check in the hand: the batch code and where it sits on the bottle, the print quality and weight of the label, the atomiser and collar, the box print and inserts, and the glass and fill level. Use it as a companion to the checklist below rather than as a verdict on any single bottle. The bottle, cap, atomiser and outer box shown are the same hardware Dior uses across its La Collection Privée line — Bois d'Argent, Ambre Nuit, Fève Délicieuse, Thé Cachemire, Oud Ispahan and the rest — so the same checks apply to those bottles too.

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
