Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sauvage
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 - Rare Oud Blend
Rare Oud Blend chases Dior Sauvage Rare Blend, the ultra-limited oriental-woody reinterpretation built on oud, vanilla and labdanum. It captures the deep, resinous Sauvage-gone-dark character, but renders flatter and skin-close, the dense original's richness thinned for a budget price.
