What Wearers Say
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.
Chanel Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum
One wearer enjoys the change from bright citrus to creamy woods.
Some owners find it easy to wear for work and everyday outings.
One owner enjoys the opening but dislikes the powdery, ambery woods that follow.
Some wearers wish it lasted longer on their skin.
The Verdict
Bleu de Chanel EDP is our pick. Cedar and sandalwood smoothed with amber and musk make a polished woody scent that suits an office as well as a dinner. Sauvage EDT is built on a big dose of ambroxan, the salty, mineral ambergris molecule, under bright bergamot and peppery elemi: louder, sharper and instantly recognisable. Choose Sauvage if being noticed is the point.
