Kuro

Don't let anyone tell you otherwise, this is Sauvage DNA and it you definitely smell it. Ajmal didn't try to do a 1:1, though. This is more akin to Sauvage EDP than EDT; its not as bright, not as metallic, its darker and rich and spicy and just lovely, honestly. Its like a more gourmand-fougere take with how they amped up the sichuan pepper, and to my nose, Ill catch whiffs of what smells like oud in there during the drydown (and it smells amazing) Even as cheap as this is, its one of my absolute favorites to open the cap and smell the atomizer, out of my dozens of frags. For the price here, this really is a gem. The quality of the ingredients alongside the blend for ~20$ really is pretty amazing. Longevity is good for many hours, projection is quite good off my skin, but dont expect this to be anywhere near as loud as Sauvage. This is a much more grown-up, evening-oriented and cooler weather type frag. Since theres Sauvage DNA at heart, its pretty versatile, but it would probably excel in fall/winter or on a nicer, cooler datenight out. I really like how Ajmal went for a rich amber-sichuan pepper heavy blend with this. If you like the Sauvage DNA, I can say you'll probably be alright with a blind buy here.. Ive got Sauvage, Prada LRC, Ajmal Kuro, Armaf Ventana, and Franck Olivier bamboo.. Im a sucker for the DNA and this has its on own spot for me

Initially purchased a sample vial from FragranceNet, I almost didn't as they were charging almost $3 for a sample vial and I thought that was outrageous for a $20 cologne. But wow am I happy I did! After sampling this, I decided to pull the trigger on a full bottle. This stuff smells like what Dior Sauvage should be. Not sure if it's just my chemistry, but this smells like all the good parts of Sauvage without that sweaty, gross feeling. Salty, but not sweaty. Very warm and spicy yet light and fresh, with the black pepper and ambergris being the primary scents, with subtle hints of fresh vetiver and lavender. It makes an excellent spring/summer cologne. The sillage and longevity are also incredible, especially given the price point. I sprayed about 4 spritzes on me this morning at 7am, and it's still strong right now at 7pm. I'd say it lasts about 15 hours, so basically all day. For $20-$25, this stuff is an incredible bargain, I'd definitely recommend giving this one a shot. The only flaw I can really give with this cologne is the bottle, I actually keep it flat because it tips over very easily. 9.4/10

This aroma has already won me over, and I'm wearing it for the first time today after testing it in a perfume shop two weeks ago. It'll be one of my signature scents in no time. It's projecting incredibly well; I can still smell it on me after 7 hours, and it's pretty powerful. Despite the fact that the weather is cold and partly cloudy, I'm not sure if this will have an impact on its performance. In South Africa, winter is just getting started, and summer is winding down, but I feel KURO could easily work in all four seasons. In terms of price, it is extremely reasonable. I've never owned Dior Sauvage, but I've tried it, and the notes are similar to my untrained nose. But they're not the same; after applying Kuro this morning, my wife promptly grabbed a perfume that smells similar, and it's Uomo by Ermenegildo Zegna, which she had previously purchased for me, and the shape and color of the bottle bear witness to what we discovered. Despite the fact I still adore Kuro, Ajmal has done an excellent job.

Bought this at a local perfume shop without knowing anything about it. Was looking for a green-leaning versatile scent to replace my beloved Polo Explorer. I've since tried Sauvage and while I get the comparison (they both have that signature masculine fresh/spicy punch), Kuro actually smells distinct (and better) to me. Kuro has this dark green element that smells vaguely like a fresh, smoky forest. It's subtle so it doesn't weight it down, but it adds just enough to make it its own. This makes it much more interesting than Sauvage to my nose. Very versatile but more suited for nights or cooler weather IMHO. Perfect for fall days. Out of all the colognes I own (including several pricy ones), this is the one I chose to wear on my wedding due to it being inoffensive and unique. For the price, it's a ridiculous value. Only drawback is the comically stupid bottle design. It's basically the shape of a large cell phone. Otherwise 10/10 for me.

To me, Ajmal's Kuro smells like a lightened Sauvage inspired scent without the strong metal note mixed with some blue inspired fragrance, possibly something like Bleu De Channel. I really like that this seems to be a combination of 2 popular scents. It seems to die down for me to not projecting loudly after about an hour or two, but the sillage trail is still decent as I move around picking up the scent if I double back where I have walked by. Within about 3 to 4 hours, I seem to stop smelling it while being still, but a quick wave of the hand where I sprayed brings the scent out. After 4 hours, this barely radiates away from the body for me, so it becomes a more intimate scent. With 2 to 4 sprays, I get about 1 to 2 hours of decent projection before it fades over then next hour or so into becoming a more intimate scent. It lasts 6+ hours. If you keep the sprays to a minimum, this could work as an office or signature scent.

Awesome bang for buck. I had some colognes back in the early 90s when I was a little kid and it kinda smells like those and my dad's colognes. It has an old school barbershop smell to it and it lasts pretty long. It must be the Ambergris they used in it. I never had Sauvage so my experience is just limited to a couple of sniffs at Sephora BUT Sauvage never really stood out to me as a unique scent. This one has a bit more character in my opinion. It's an old school shaving cream scent that is just nice. I love it. I think it works everywhere and if you wanna spend the money to buy Sauvage and smell like shaving cream, why not buy this which has more character too? Update: Guys, go easy on this one. I sprayed 6 times and 2 and a half hours later, it's still following me like a rabid dog. It's kinda strong and can be suffocating if oversprayed. 3, 4 sprays max is what I recommend.

Excellent Clone of Sauvage by Dior, having both I can say after 5 minutes only a trained nose could tell the difference, Sauvage has more of a cold, crisp metallic opening than Kuro, which is comparatively more lavender-focused and aromatic, my nose is very sensitive to ambroxan and ISO E SUPER, this relates because often more than not you may think that Sauvage is gone after 3 hours, it’s absolutely not, it’s still there and projecting but your nose with filter it out, Kuro is more prominent than Sauvage, not meaning it’s stronger but you’ll be able to smell it on yourself for longer. Kurt lasts 7-8 hours on me with good projection and is at an amazing price/value proposition. Do yourself a favor and use Sauvage for more formal occasions and use this for whenever. 8/10

Makes the smell statement which includes having a spicy scent profile yet with a warm, inviting touch to it. Smells much similar to the Prada Luna R than Dior Sauvage which has got metallic notes in it and this, surely doesn't. Sets up a big boot for the person wearing in Indian weather considering the beautiful notes and the best of the perfume, that's the longetivity. Oh boy oh boy, this scores crazy high and a person with the likes of notes said should and must have in the wardrobe. The lavender and iris blend and the ending note with ambery sandalwood?(felt like it) makes this perfume wholesome and that too for the price point it's tagged, it just screams competition and still has no win standing against this.

I don't think Kuro is meant to be a dupe or clone for Sauvage but it does have the vibe and smells somewhat 60-70% close to Sauvage Eau de toilette due to the use of the notes. It opens with loud prominent Lavender, a blast of it and then comes the peppers and spiciness u get from it. The amberguis lurks in the background as a support and am glad that it isn't that prominent. Slowly this Kuro settles down into a slight greeney Vetiver like drydown. It's still mass appealing scents which I am surprised Ajmal didn't mass market it enough to be available everywhere anywhere given it's popular scent dna. Don't like the bottle design. Too long like an issey and can clumsily topple as it stands.

It Resembles Dior Sauvage to 85 to 90 % with Ajmals little touch to it, Most of Notes are Same as Sauvage except Cedarwood and Different types are Pepper Notes are added in Sauvage while in Kuro there is only One Black Pepper Notes that might be reason It has some less Metallic Notes compared to Sauvage it has light smokiness due to that black pepper note. Kuro uses Ambergris instead of Amberoxin that its Sauvage. It is Good Scent on its own and Resembles Dior Sauvage. I would rate this Perfume 4 out of 5

This is a beast!! On my skin lasts easily 10 to 12 hours. Does fade to a skin scent by the end but I can still catch a wiff here and there . On clothes(not exaggerating) lasts 72 hours plus . Sprayed on a sweater and wore it for the day, threw it in the hamper.. on laundry day 3 days later I smelled the sweater and I could still smell it!

This is a value for money DNA of Dior Sauvage EDT. It’s masculine and fresh. Lasts 1-2 hours and can be a good gym scent. Projection is above average and performs better on clothes. If you want to run errands and want something that is value for money with similar DNA to Dior Sauvage, this is worth exploring. Shukran Habibi!

If you want alternative for dior sauvage then here it is, initial notes have some less peppery but after dry down its so close to sauvage. It doesn't have alcholic blast in starting ,its so smooth and long lasting that you can enjoy this on your clothes upto 6hrs , value for money fragrance from the house of ajmal.

This reminds me of less ashy drown down of armaf club de nuit preciux for men without the fruity opening. I like it, it's safe, masculine 50% similar to original Savauge. Can't beat the price. Ajmal is soooo underrated. All there fragrances are safe blind buy that I own. Shiro is another good one.

Tried ajmal kuro a few days a go at one of the local shops where I live and as I own and love ajmal zeal I can confirm with confidence that they are very similar In my opinion we don't have to own both as one of them is enough Edit: bought a backup bottle for a fair price selling at $18

I own Prada Luna Rosa Carbon and this is better, no earthiness. It has the Sauvage aromatics but not the annoying aspects! Ambroxan is perfectly blended here. Wonderful scent. There are no "better" fragrances, Sauvage is disgusting compared to this. Save your money for more Ajmal Kuro.

This was a blind buy for me after listen to a lot of the fragrance reviewers. I have Dior Sauvage also and they are absolutely correct that they both smell the same especially the opening. I will definitely be getting another bottle. Great scent!!!!

Amazing perfume with great quality at an excellent price. Highly recommended. It has very good sillage and long-lasting performance. It works perfectly all year round, in every season, and suits almost any occasion. A great fragrance overall. ❤️👏🙏💯

Everyone is saying this is a good Sauvage clone, it is. But, it is an even better clone of Prada Luna Rosa Carbon. Dry down smells just like my decant of PLRC, all the way down to the note of Soil tincture. I just save $80. :)

The dior savage clone. i would say 90% similar ,but i like this one over the savage . sweet lavander manly fragrance which lasts so long and peojects amazing for the price ,9/10
