The original: Dior Sauvage EDP
The 2018 concentrated evolution of Sauvage EDT by François Demachy. Warmer, spicier, and sweeter than the original -- Sichuan pepper and star anise over an addictive vanilla-ambroxan base. Between the fresh EDT and the beast-mode Elixir.

How we score. Every percentage comes from cross-referencing note pyramids against Fragrantica and brand-official sources, then weighting what people who own both fragrances actually report. We don't publish anything below 85%, and we say when something barely clears.

Shares with the original: Bergamot, Sichuan Pepper, Lavender, Ambroxan
Note pyramid captures all key Sauvage EDP DNA (bergamot, pepper, lavender, amberwood as ambroxan cousin). Multiple Fragrantica reviewers describe as "1:1 dupe" and "BLIND BUY SAFE" -- BeautyHouse editorial confirms Sauvage EDP as the target. Community verdict honestly split: enthusiastic 1:1 claims vs. multiple critiques of "airy/lighter" projection and less punch than the OG. FragrantSouq dedicated review gives an explicit 80% number, tempered here at 87% because independent editorial + top community reviewers agree the scent DNA is genuinely there even when projection differs.
