What People 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.

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

Choose the EDT if the bergamot-and-ambroxan direction is what attracts you to Sauvage. Try the EDP if you want vanilla warmth with citrus and spice. Sample both from the opening through the drydown; the concentration label alone does not establish which will feel stronger or last longer on you.
