Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette combines Calabrian bergamot with ambroxan, resinous elemi and woods. Bergamot and Ambroxan are the whole idea: a bright citrus blast over a dry, salty, mineral woodiness. It's the loudest and freshest of the three Sauvage versions.
What Wearers Say
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.
Great for
Try the Eau de Toilette if bergamot, spices and ambery woods appeal.
Not for
Sample first if sharp, peppery fragrances put you off or you want a less familiar scent.
