About The Poster: This poster is one of three created by René Gruau for Dior's Eau Sauvage (Wild Water) fragrance at the end of the 1970s, the first fragrance Dior created for men. His design was daring in its simplicity and also subject matter. In this ad, we see a man with his arm around a woman - a romantic scene alluding to the type of charmer who would wear this kind of scent. It was first introduced in 1966 with the cooperation of perfumer Edmond Roudnitska, while Pierre Dinand created the flacon. Citrus notes are accompanied by rosemary, jasmine, vetiver, and oakmoss.
