Aromatic Star Anise

Ok everyone is different yes but I do love the Sauvage EDT DNA. This is as close as I have found to it and performance wise its close. $25? Dossier is slept on sometimes but their products have been good imo. I've tried Venetta, Magnificent Blue, Urban Man Elixir, Salvo and Salvo Intense and Dossier is the closest to the EDT. Lots of middle eastern clones are great sure, but you can literally go to Walmart and get this for $25 to $30 any time. Only difference is it dries down into a soapier vibe in a good way. Hardly noticeable unless you smell it up close.

I think this is a great fragrance, especially considering the value. The pepper, citrus, and sweetness combine really well, it just smells great. The performance is also solid; the projection is decent, but the longevity was impressive. I agree that it smells very similar to Dior Sauvage, so this would be a great value option for someone wanting that scent. Finally, the packaging is very solid and weighty, and the magnetic cap is a great touch. Overall, this is a fantastic fragrance and very affordable.

A fabulous clone of Dior Sauvage. Well worth the price, but more importantly, well worth the lower toxicity rating it receives, due to cleaner, more transparent ingredients. IMO, this fact alone makes it better than Dior’s formulation. 5/5

very very different from Sauvage. less synthetic smell and lasts super long. My girlfriend loves it too.

Of course, I am adding my opinion like everyone and their grandma! This scent works on me. I find the dna of Dior's Sauvage to be enjoyable. It has a reputation, but if you give it a shot and really own what you like, really own it, it's superb. A lot of hipsters will hate on it, but this happens in coffee and heavy metal subgenre crowds. First impressions: I bought this as a blind buy, because I like Sauvage, go figure, right? I get powerful spice, but without the cloying aspect of the OG Sauvage's polarizing beginning. Like any Norma Jean song, for example, you just have to wait a minute after the noise and then appreciate the masterpiece. The citrus, lavender, and amberwood all settle in to play their crescendos at the right time. It is a show to enjoy. Sprays? 4 sprays. I sprayed on the back of my neck, one on my chest, one on my arm and one on my shirt. I could smell this for 4 hours and the dry down for a few more. I guess this is considered a lower amount of sprays, but I don't see the need to spray so much, especially knowing we get nose-blindness. Gender? I lean towards the idea that this suits men well. Price? I think this is a no-brainer for the price. $28 for 1.7 oz is a solid price per spray ratio. The cost of Sauvage is overpriced and this is such a close dupe, that unless you are a hipster, you will not notice. Rating? I give this an 8 out of 10. It would be a 9 out of ten, but I think the transition to dry down in the OG Sauvage is smoother and a tad more luxurious...but barely! This could be sweeter, that's what this is missing. Don't sleep on Dossier. I own two of them now, and they are fantastic!
