Which Should You Buy?
Bergamot and pepper crash into lavender and geranium, then ambroxan, cedar and labdanum. The loud, bright, peppery Sauvage, built to be noticed on warm days.
Sauvage's bergamot-ambroxan skeleton is one of the easier modern masculines to approximate, and this dupe gets the fresh-spicy opening close, but the ambroxan base is noticeably weaker and more synthetic-thin than Dior's radiant original.
