Which Should You Buy?
The Fragrance World UK's £4.95/30ml interpretation of Dior Sauvage (2015) - the pyramid maps the original's bergamot opening, sichuan pepper heart, and ambroxan dry-down. Liverpool dupe-house pricing on a recognisable smell-alike for casual rotation.
Match Fragrances' interpretation of Dior's Sauvage (2015) - the François Demachy bergamot-ambroxan composition that became the best-selling men's fragrance of the late 2010s, here translated into a bergamot-pepper opening over Sichuan pepper and lavender into an ambroxan-cedar close. Honest dupe-fidelity for daytime and casual wear at a fraction of the designer price.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The bergamot-led opening and ambroxan-anchored close mirror the original's seasonal range, though the budget composition fades faster than the Dior bottle in heavier conditions.
Occasions
A budget interpretation that keeps the original's structure - the dupe reads cleaner and shorter, making it best suited to casual rotation rather than as a replacement for the Dior signature.
Seasons
The bergamot-ambroxan lift and aromatic heart carry strongest in spring, summer and autumn. Winter works for indoor wear but feels less complete than warm-weather contexts.
Occasions
A fresh-spicy masculine with broad sillage is made for casual day wear, office and date. Sport works in cooler weather. Versatile across most daytime contexts.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fresh Spicy, Citrus, Aromatic accords and Bergamot, Pepper notes
