What Wearers Say

Dior Sauvage Parfum

One owner enjoys the citrus opening as it settles into warm, ambery woods.

Another wearer likes its creamy, sweet tonka character.

The first owner likes the scent but finds it too familiar.

Another wearer finds it too much like a standard aftershave.

Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette

One longtime EDT wearer loves its spices and ambroxan drydown, and wears it year-round.

Another wearer enjoys its peppery character in the air.

The second wearer finds it too sharp up close.

Another wearer likes the fragrance but finds it too familiar to buy a bottle.

The Verdict

Sauvage Parfum is our pick. Dior's EDT is bergamot, ambroxan and elemi over woods: sharp, peppery and mineral. The Parfum keeps the Sauvage outline and rounds it off with mandarin, sandalwood and tonka. It's softer, warmer and easier to wear in an office. Choose the EDT if you want the bright, loud original.
