Which Should You Buy?
A thunderous, spicy-woody statement piece that takes the Sauvage DNA into ultra-rich, opulent territory. Not for the faint of heart - this is a modern powerhouse that exudes authority and midnight intrigue.
272 is an aftershave companion to the house's Sauvage Elixir dupe - grapefruit, spice and smooth woods, thinner and less concentrated than Dior's own Elixir parfum.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The powerful spicy-woody and amber heart makes this perfect for cold to cool weather, where it can project fully without becoming overwhelming. Fall and winter are ideal, but it can work in spring nights; it is too rich and intense for most summer days.
Occasions
Its boldness and opulence suit formal events or nights out, where presence is desired. It can be seductive for dates but risks being too assertive for office or casual use and is unsuitable for sports.
Seasons
Fresh spiced-citrus aftershave suits warmer months best.
Occasions
Light and clean enough for daily office or casual wear.
