Bleu de Chanel

Citrus opening, soft incense and woods in the dry-down. It does not enter the room first. Most men can wear it to work without thinking twice. The EDP is the safest version.

Sauvage

Bergamot, Sichuan pepper, and a clean ambroxan base. People already know the smell. It is fine at night if you like it. Easy to overspray and easy to smell like everyone else in the bar.

Which should you buy?

If you only want one bottle: Bleu de Chanel. It covers more situations without becoming the default scent of the room.

If you already own Bleu and want something fresher for evenings: Sauvage EDP. Or sample both and decide on your skin.

Cheaper path: sample the one you are leaning toward, then decide between the real bottle or a clone in the same direction.
