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.

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
Modern fresh-amber-spicy carries all four seasons - bergamot lifts in warm months, ambroxan-cedar anchors cooler ones.
Occasions
The defining versatile masculine - casual, office, date the natural homes. Rollerball ideal for travel/top-up.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fresh Spicy, Citrus, Aromatic accords and Bergamot, Pepper notes
