Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Sauvage Very Cool Spray EDP
This discontinued flanker is the cult classic Sauvage, but for summer. Most reviews rave about its enhanced freshness and beast-mode performance, often preferring it over the original, making its discontinuation a source of widespread frustration. Don't expect subtlety, but do expect compliments.

Our Verdict - CD03 - Sauvage EDP
Copies Dior Sauvage's ambroxan-forward, peppery freshness at a fraction of the price, though the blend reads thinner and the ambroxan hums quieter than the original's signature radiance.
