Which Should You Buy?
A timeless masterpiece that defines the fresh aromatic genre - Eau Sauvage is the benchmark for effortless masculine elegance and still feels invigoratingly modern after decades.
X-Cite Sensible chases Dior Eau Sauvage, Roudnitska's 1966 masterpiece of citrus, jasmine and oakmoss. It captures that understated, gentlemanly elegance, but renders flatter and skin-close, the timeless original's petal-like delicacy thinned for a budget price.

Seasons
Eau Sauvage's crisp citrus and herbal brightness make it ideal for spring and summer, where its freshness shines and never overwhelms. It feels less suited for cold winter days due to its lightness and lack of warmth.
Occasions
Its understated, non-intrusive projection and clean, uplifting character are perfect for office, casual, and active settings. It adds refinement to dates and formal wear but may lack the gravity some expect for evening black-tie events.
Seasons
The bright citrus-herbal freshness peaks in spring and summer, still works in autumn.
Occasions
Refined and clean for office and formal wear, easy across daily occasions.
