Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Spirit Absolute
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; it tries to be Sauvage, and for some, it just about hits the mark, offering a budget-friendly dupe. Yet, for others, it falls short, delivering a sweeter, less impactful version that lacks the original's punch.

Our Verdict - Sauvage (Rollerball)
The Essence Vault's interpretation of Dior's Sauvage (2015) - Francois Demachy's bergamot-ambroxan blockbuster that has topped UK male fragrance sales for nearly a decade, here in a portable rollerball reading with the bergamot-pepper-ambroxan spine still legible. Honest dupe-fidelity for purse-carry and touch-up wear.
