Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sauvage EDT
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 - Sensible II EDP
Sensible II chases Dior Sauvage Parfum, the warm, sweet-woody member of the Sauvage line. It captures the vanilla-and-sandalwood richness over spicy citrus, but renders flatter and skin-close, the original's intoxicating depth thinned for a budget price.

Vivid projection and freshness make it superb for casual, daytime, and outdoor settings, as well as sporty activities. Its assertive scent profile can be bold for close office quarters but works well for dates and informal evenings.
