Which Should You Buy?
A modern, understated take on the Sauvage DNA, Eau Forte is a cool, musky aromatic that trades bombast for subtlety. It is refined, clean, and quietly present-ideal for those seeking effortless polish.
Taxi is a divisive scent, polarising between 'masterpiece' and 'awful'. Its low price point makes it an intriguing blind-buy, though don't expect a crowd-pleasing modern profile. If you're a fan of vintage masculines, this budget gem might be for you.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Bright aromatics and cool spices make it ideal for spring and early summer, while the musky-woody base keeps it grounded in fall. Its airy, sheer character is less suited for cold winter days.
Occasions
Soft projection and clean, musky freshness make it safe for office and casual wear. The understated and powdery base feels less impactful for formal nights or active settings.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
With its moderate performance and clean, 'fresh out of the shower' barbershop feel, Taxi is perfect for casual wear or the office. While some classify it as formal, its lighter nature makes it less suited for an evening date or high-impact events.
