The verdict: Dior Sauvage is the longevity pick — long (7-9h) against moderate (5-7h) for Valentino Uomo Born in Roma. Dior Sauvage projects harder (strong sillage), so it owns a room — and an office can be too small for it. They live in the same scent territory — fresh spicy and amber against aromatic and woody — which is exactly why people cross-shop them.
