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
A wearer enjoys the later vanilla warmth while still finding the scent fresh.
The same wearer finds the opening and overall strength too forceful at times; another fan finds it too heavy for daytime use.
The Verdict
Sauvage Parfum is our pick. Dior lists mandarin, Sri Lankan sandalwood and tonka, so it trades the EDP's peppery lavender and star anise for creamy wood and tonka's almond sweetness. That makes it the smoothest Sauvage. Choose the EDP if you like the spice and the ambroxan bite.
