1966 ETE SAUVAGE Inspird by Eau Sauvage by Dior EDP

Which Should You Buy?
The ultimate citrus cologne - effortlessly refined, sparkling with Italian sunshine, and never out of place. Timeless, crisp, and the gold standard for freshness.
Alexandria UK's 1966 ETE SAUVAGE leans on the same lemon-bergamot-vetiver skeleton as Dior's Eau Sauvage, but flattens the citrus into a louder, more one-note opening and trades the original's silky oakmoss dry-down for a simpler amber-musk base with roughly half the wear time.
