Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Homme EDT
A crisp, modern take on masculine woods that's quietly confident and effortlessly wearable. Dior Homme EDT 2020 is office-perfect and versatile, favoring clarity and comfort over drama or sweetness.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Sauvage - 197 EDP
No. 197 chases Dior's Sauvage with the same bergamot-pepper-Ambroxan blueprint that made the original the best-selling men's fragrance of its generation. It's bright and recognisable on first spray but far less radiant and shorter-lived than the real Ambroxan-driven original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Homme

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Dior Homme EDT 2020 is versatile and leans fresh-woody, making it ideal for spring and fall when moderate warmth and clean woods shine. It is light enough for summer but lacks the depth for coldest winter days.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its unobtrusive projection, modern woods, and gentle musky base make it perfect for office and casual settings. Subdued presence and moderate intensity mean it never overwhelms, but is less suited to formal or sporty occasions.
