Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sauvage EDT
A modern classic with electrifying freshness and a bold, spicy signature. Instantly recognizable, its crisp citrus and ambroxan punch make it a go-to for those who want to be noticed and remembered.
Statement
Our Verdict - Ete Sauvage EDP
Ete Sauvage dupes Dior's Sauvage Eau de Parfum, chasing its bergamot-pepper opening and ambroxan-vanilla dry-down. The dupe captures the fresh-spicy shape well but reads flatter and louder up top, fading to a thinner musk finish well before the original's 8-10 hour showing.
