Dior Sauvage vs Chanel Bleu de Chanel

Both are woody aromatic scents for men. Sauvage EDP is built on bergamot, Sichuan pepper and lavender with an ambroxan, vanilla and sandalwood base, so it reads warmer and sweeter. Bleu de Chanel EDP opens with grapefruit, lemon, mint and pink pepper and dries down to incense, vetiver, cedar and sandalwood, so it reads drier and more citrus-woody.

This comparison is based on the published notes. How a scent smells varies from person to person, so try both if you can.
