Which Should You Buy?
A legendary, much-missed masterpiece from D&G's golden era. 'By' is a total crowd-pleaser that delivers a potent dose of creamy, masculine sophistication. It's universally adored for a reason: sexy, unique, and it just works.
No.662 targets Dior's concentrated Sauvage Elixir - spicier, boozier and more intense than the standard EDT, with cinnamon and nutmeg over a licorice-amber base. It captures that heavier, richer register well, though it doesn't reach the Elixir's exceptional density and staying power.
