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.
