What People 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

Choose Sauvage Parfum if mandarin with creamy sandalwood and tonka appeals to you. Choose the EDP for bergamot, pepper, lavender and star anise over vanilla and ambroxan. Treat them as distinct scent choices within Sauvage rather than an automatic upgrade in projection or quality.
