Aromatic Future

@tonyflash - I know. I never expected Zara to produce such a close clone with such results that lasts quite good. I don't get beastly performance out of Sauvage. I know others do and Sauvage does last longer than this, but I get 6-7 hours out of this for a fraction of a price and a nice quality. So I am saving up my Sauvage while having 2x bottles of this and I get the same reactions. For me, even better smell because it doesn't have that metallic vibe. There is something with those metallic notes that I can't stand on my skin and I do recognize a quality frags but I can't wear them because they give me a headache. If Dior came out with an EDP Sauvage without that note, it would be a complete win for me. La Nuit is gone in 2 completely, in comparison. It was my signature all these years but not anymore. Fuck that scented water shit, not giving YSL my money for water. My Axe lasts longer and I dropped it with a heavy heart. 2014 still was beast compared to this 2016 so screw it. Zara Seoul is an exact Invictus clone just let say 50% weaker. The same opening, the same dry down, just with the strength cut down to half. Blue Spirit is another Invictus clone. Same opening but while Invictus is more fresh metallic in the dry don, this one is more leather creamy. Projects about 2-3 hours if you put a bit more and lasts a solid 8. Good enough for me. There are far expensive designer ones that do far less that both Aromatic Future and Blue Spirit.

It is simply amazing how close this is to Sauvage. Smell is almost the same, a person would have a hard time knowing which is which. Stays good 5 hours, projects for 1-2. Sauvage alternative, definitely worth buying for the price and it really isn't bad for what you get. Fresh Sauvage, just lighter, a bit sweeter, without the metallic vibe. I can see it having a resemblance with BdC as well. Again, for the price... It really is worth your time. If there is something you don't like in Sauvage or BdC, try this, the best of two worlds. You just might be pleasantly surprised. 95% similar, just without metallic note. Easily 8.5/10 EDIT: Smells nothing like Acqua di Gio. Someone is misleading people on purpose. Don't know why. Maybe they think nothing can copy and be close to their beloved Sauvage. Bit it can and it is. This one really IS an amazing and close clone of Dior Sauvage and nothing even remotely to any Acqua di Gio.

@jpon91 Dear coleague, I finally tested the potion that you suggested me earlier, and that you suggest again in the aromatic future page. Yes it does work. The "potion" really dupes sauvage at > 99% I am not being enfatic as I am not a great fan of Dior Sauvage. For me it's an overrated fragrance. Congrats for your search. I tried the same with Classic Chromite Jaguar, and got a lowsy result. In what regards Aromatic Future - and as you have said - I couldn't care less if it's a clone or not, I just liked it because it smells good and it's cheap. I bought it in a combo with another fragrance - Aquatic Mind - for € 10.00

Told you guys, Sauvage clone, like so much that I can't believe it. Anyone loving Sauvage needs to try this!! Price and longevity are awesome. I'm not working for Zara or anything but I do love when i find something quality, that smells so close and for a fraction of the price. They have really steeped up their game fro ma shitty frags to amazing ones. I still can't believe the quality and longevity for this price??? Trying to find where is the catch but can't find it. Ofc not all of them are this good but for the price and what you get... it is a must for anyone who loves fragrances!! Period!

A very mild, but pleasant, aromatic, powdery phenomenon .... At the beginning spicy dominance and later and quiet with an aromatic, more soap is led on to the wooded basics ..... Through the skin, but close attention fragrance! I'd rather go on a date or night entertainment. During the day the streets wearing pale and insignificant ...... Very nice composition and truly Dior heights of contact, but according to SILLAGE and longevity of the price! High-quality alternative, but rather nocturnal rendezvous ...... Outstanding among the Zara Men's Fragrances!

Here I'm in Amman Jordan , and I came from every body has stated. It's an exact replica to Dior Sauvage. and I confirmed this with 4 colleges at work who were thinking that I'm wearing Dior Sauvage, but with less power and silage. They were shocked when I told them the truth, and even some considered not buying Dior Sauvage. I got mine for 9.5 JD in sale (12.5 JD original price). and they are finished in the 3 stores in Amman as everybody is purchasing it. I'm sure many are not aware yet that it is replica,, however buying it for it's very good smell.

I kid you not this is more identical to Dior sauvage than Bleu de Chanel eau de toilet is to Bleu de Chanel eau de parfum. It smells great! Apart from the opening 10 minutes, aromatic future and Dior sauvage smell 100% the same. My friend has sauvage( I recommended it to him) and whenever I go to his house I'd always get a few sprays so I'm rather familiar with Dior sauvage. i won't lie, at first I didn't believe this nonsense of Zara competing with Dior. Until I tried it myself, exactly the same. Plus I only spent 99 rand which is like 7 dollars

tonyflash - You're welcome :) That is why I was so hyped on Sauvage page when some fanboys kept knocking down my reviews and posting shit here that is smelled like ADG or Joop Homme or some other frags. They didn't want to admit that anything could be even remotely quality as Sauvage. But it can and it is. And yes I don't like Zara either, but this one plus Blue Spirit which is Invictus clone, not as fresh and metallic, but more leathery. Much better than Invictus. And 2-3 more that are really don well.

It is similar to Sauvage but don't expect to get Sauvage. It is less fruity in the opening. It starts with ambrox pepper combo like Sauvage is after let say half an hour or so when the citrus disappears. It is much lighter version of Sauvage. Honestly, it is similar but not a clone. Very cheap so you can use this while saving your Sauvage. Ppl like this one just as they like Sauvage.

Like everybody is saying, Aromatic Future is the best dupe for Dior Sauvage. Very good performances and versatility. I'm not the biggest fan of Sauvage( I think is overrated and overpriced) but I see myself wearing this Zara more that any of my other fragrances. #Later edit# Nothing similar to ADG!

More like an Eau de Cologne?! Come on, that's BS, this fragrance performes equal or better that a most of the EDT's on the market. Sure, it's not a monster like Sauvage, but for sure performs better that the new formulation of Fahrenheit, for exemple. You simpley can't ask more for a 10€ fragrance.

Well, I told you guys this is almost identical clone but many were biased and didnt believe me. Guys, try tobacco collection, blue spirit and w/end 3AM. Gorgeous. Also 7.0 8.0 and 9.0.

Yeah i actually smelled it, its a great alternative for dior sauvage, poor longevity and sillage, thats the unique bad thing.

I like it, is a softer more discrete version of Dior Sauvage. My husband has both and they are really similar. Why pay more?

9/10.. smells like 98 percent sauvage with a little bit of mint

Love it and I paid $16 on Zara what a bargain! 8.5/10

Someone knows if this one smells like dior sauvage?

Indeed very close to Sauvage without the peper note and a bit more clean, like most have said a lighter version of Sauvage, in my opinion a good thing since I hate Sauvage on my skin but this one was softer, cleaner and more pleasing to my nose. If you like Sauvage and want a cleaner and lighter version of it, look no further, and for the price a bargain for the quality you get. Update: The first time I tried Sauvage on my skin, I became sick of that smell, so harsh and synthetic it was giving me a headache, had to scrub it off, many times, and until today I just can't stand that smell. Now the funny part, I should dislike this one too, but for some reason it works far better on me, so better in fact that I tried 2 times on different occasions and I had to buy it (after all only 10€). It's similar to Sauvage, but it took away all the things I hated on sauvage and made it a bit more cleaner, less pepper, more lavander which gives it a more powdery feel but still remains the freshness, in the end I really like this interpretation of Zara. It doesn't last as long or project as much as Sauvage but smells way more natural. Funny how two similar fragrances can yet be so different at the same time, to me at least.

Ok guys, Another 'potion': Layer this + Zara Home Cuir Velvet and you'll get 99.9% Sauvage in the drydown, 90% in top notes. The best part is, Cuir Velvet is amazing on its own as a more conservative 'blue' fragrance since its Sauvage - the ambroxan. I'd even say it's a blue-grey fragrance, as I feel it earthy. I'd even say it's up there with Declaration line, definitely up there with the Prada Luna Rossa, classier than Dylan Blue. I personally like it way more than Bleu, but that's just personal taste, as Mr. Polge created a masterpiece. Now Aroamatic Future is definitely a 'tamed' Sauvage that you can use as a daily no-frills scent. You won't turn many heads but are definitely still smelling awesome... and remember, it's just $15 - absolute no-brainer. My Rating of AF 7/10 My Rating of CV 8.5/10 My Rating of the 'potion' 9.5/10 _________________________________________ P.D. Listen, 3 different fragrances for half of what Sauvage costs AND as we're talking 200 ml, it's 1/4 of Sauvage's price. What you'll have is: Sauvage (the ́potion ́) A daily use Sauvage-like frage for you no-frills day (Aromatic Future) A more formal, more unique grey-blue scent for special occasions (Cuir Velvet)

Can confirm what everyone else is saying. I went to the mall today and purchased this at Zara, sprayed it on one wrist. Walked to another store and sprayed Sauvage on my other wrist to compare side by side. A Future is slightly weaker, but in that same similar "like" category of scent as Sauvage. The opening scent is pretty darn close, but the dry down in more transparent and powdery....where as Sauvage is sweeter, bolder and cleaner. But it is similar and can be classified as being in the same category as Sauvage. Just don't expect it to perform like Sauvage. It's longevity and projection is much weaker. A great buy and cheap! I got gift set package of A Future 3.5ml and Aquatic Mind 3.5ml for $19.95! Can't beat that price for 2 large bottles.

Yeah, this fragrance is definitely similar to Sauvage, but I think that the Zara stands out by itself. It's incredibly well made with lots of complex notes in it. It's not as sweet as Sauvage but the opening blast that is associated with Sauvage is also present in Aromatic Future as well. However, it dries down to a very nice and smooth woody and fresh scent. There's a little soapiness associated with the fragrance that I'm picking up as well. I really like it and for the price it's definitely worth a buy.

So people who say this is quite similar to Sauvage are 100% correct. An exact copy? no. there are differences, though subtle I'm wearing them side by side right now, trust me. Does this work as a cheapy replacement? Would you like a less strong fragrance that's way cheaper yet undeniably similar to sauvage? Consider that you'd get similar comments and leave a very similar vibe/sillage.

Sorry, I found it not comparable with Sauvage. They have a similarity in the heavy dose of ambroxan, but nope... If you love Sauvage, you won't be able to settle for AF. If you couldn't care less if it's a clone or not, you just liked it because it smells good and it's cheap, awesome! I did it too. Just don't expect the crazy compliments from the ladies as in Sauvage. Won't happen.

I have tried a bunch of Zara fragrances and have generally been disappointed and ended up giving them all away. This however is remarkably pleasant and 90% Dior Sauvage. The initial opening right after you spray is not as good as Sauvage but after a few minutes it's really very similar. I have to tip my hat to Zara on this occasion.

I just picked this up in a 2 set with Aquatic Mind for a whopping $19 and can confirm 100%, this smells nearly identical to Dior Sauvage. Honestly you'd have to have no sense of smell to not get the similarity. I'll update later after testing more as to performance and quality, but first impressions are positive!

Batch: 2016 Similar but not the same as Sauvage, this one is more metallic, less fruity, and clearly has a simpler, more synthetic composition. It smells good in the air, but up close, it's just okay. Both the projection and the longevity are decent, 4 to 6 hours. Rate: 6/10

This is "Dior Sauvage" without the metallic notes.. and tad bit powdery.. overall, it's a good alternative to Dior Sauvage.. if it's released by Armaf, i guarantee it will become a hype like Club de Nuit Intense men.. 8/10 for the price you pay..

Not bad, a good change from the sweeter fragrances, it reminds me of sauvage, or one of those musky, manly, overbearing barber shop scents but much milder and so it works for those nights when I want to feel manly, well dressed and dark.

I just bought this for 1500 HUF (5,1 USD). This is insane, twenty times cheaper than Sauvage yet almost as good. To be honest I like this even more because Aromatic Future starts off with more citruses and is less metallic.

Seattle dweller...if you can show us where to buy legit Dior Sauvage for $35...... you would be a god amoung men. Notino has it for your typical $65 for the smaller 2oz bottle, which is about the same everywhere. :(

I found out that this one is in fact closer to Prada Luna Rossa Carbon then to Sauvage, both very similar with the ambroxan note, still prefer this one, very good and only 10€

Another frag from ZARA! Another frag similar than others - in this case, similar to Sauvage...cheaper Sauvage! It ́s ok...

try to spray than rub it in to your skin. (i know its wrong on most cases) it be comes very plesant

more powdery than sauvage. i like sauvage more.

Dior sauvage my friend,you re screwed!

Smell: The opening is nice and slightly bright as if bergamot was in there. An hour later, the smell becomes mature and I'm detecting strong scents of vetiver over the lavender, which gives me a headache. If there is lavender in this, I cannot detect it directly in comparison to a better lavender quality fragrance (like Caron Pour un Homme). Longevity: It lasts around 3-4 hours on my skin in a closed environment. Sillage: The first couple of hours it projects well around arms length and leaves a good scent trail. Occasion: This one is very versatile; I'm using it as a gym scent because I don't want to waste it by throwing it away. Age rating: It smells very mature. Design: 7/10 I'm always a fan of simplistic design. Would I buy this again: No. My final verdict: 3/10

Listen my advice you can buy another fragrance of zara but ım sorry not this one ! The scent character smells cheap and ı don't like it in general but it is absolutely better than aquatic mind ı can say that . Beside of that people says it is like dior sauvage well to be honest yes a little bit reminds of that but nothing more expect from this and ım sure not clone of dior sauvage .

Close to Dior Sauvage minus longevity and projection. It will project for about 1 hour and then it becomes a skin scent. During the testing I gave it 6 sprays, 2 hours later as if I haven't wore a fragrance. People around me couldn't notice it either. Nice yet generic scent, seems more like Eau de Cologne rather than Eau de Toilette as it states.

I like it, is a softer version of Dior Sauvage. I have Sauvage too, but I think is too playful for office and many daily scenarios. Aromatic Future is a calmed down reinterpretation of the fragance where the metallic vibe of DS is substituted for an aromatic/fougère vibe. Davna nailed it below, like a mix between Bleu de Chanel and Dior Sauvage. Slighly sweet, very pleasant for both women and men. I've stopped blind buying designer fragrances because I'm shocked how Zara cheapies (specially sweet ones, I'll review the best ones when I have time) are grabbing so much attention and unsolicited compliments. I need to reapply after 2-3 hours to keep a good sillage, but fragrances tend to last way below average on my skin. Note: do not buy Rich Leather or Vibrant Leather, make yourself a favor. If you want a clone, choose a better one (Rasasi Pour Lui 9325, CDNI, Al Dur Al Maknoon Silver) or go for a decant of real thing. Don't know where are you getting this so cheap... In the only Zara of my zone, I bought last two bottles for 19,95€ each (20% discounted price), they're not going to restock it, at least is what the shop assistant said. My bottles design is different too, taller bottles pretty similar to leather line without the pu leather cover.

I have tested both this and Dior Sauvage for a while now, it's not exactly the time of year to be wearing either as they're more for spring/summer but here is my conclusion. "Zara - Aromatic Future" is simply what "Dior Sauvage - Light/Lité Ediition" would smell like, if it existed of course. Every reviewer below has summed it up already so I'll cut straight to the point. For work, wear Zara. The price, performance and scent fit perfect for everyday use and it's generated a few compliments around the office. I would also use this for the gym, football or for that walk to the shop or lazy day at home. For more special occasions I would use Sauvage, but I'm talking special dates or big nights out. Technically you could use Zara for these occasions to but I would say these require that little bit of extra performance to stand out. But then again, you could carry a bottle of Aromatic Future with you to top up on the go! Definitely worth a purchase. I don't care how many bottles of Sauvage you have. P.S. With Christmas around the corner, this will make a great gift for the Father in law. Hope this helps!

@simpa256 yeah right, I've noticed that one of them is Invictus alike, but I didn't know which one. Today was the first day I've worn Aromatic Future and I can tell you that I am impressed, 2 compliments from 2 female friends and 2 stares from 2 girls in a public transport, but those ''oh my God he smells so good'' stares( I'm pretty much sure lol). And I live in a country where everyone despises you when you're better than them, so I get compliments very rarely, but looks like this 10€ investment is gonna be better than all of these others pricy ones, damn it. I sprayed AHSEE EDTC on one arm and YSL La Nuit on the other one and Aromatic Future on the neck obviously and on the forearm - took a shower 10 hours after applying. AHSEE and La Nuit GONE and Aromatic Future is still here...just incredible stuff lol

I have read about this Zara clone before and own the original Sauvage, too. Today I had the chance to give it a try: The Zara clone opens more citrusy, but you can detect the Sauvage DNA from the beginning on. You get a citrusy vibe in the first second, while thinking about "could this even be (!) Sauvage?!" And after a few minutes it's just the same smell. To give a reliable information I went to another fragrance store with the Zara clone on one hand and sprayed Sauvage on the other and this is no joke: I even liked the clone more!! I spent 93€ for Sauvage and today 10€ for the clone and I will never buy Sauvage again. Why should I? And I am serious about it. Even the longevity is nearly identical to each other. I only can't tell about the sillage yet.

Yes, it reminds of Dior Sauvage, and it a lot, but it does not have that density, the depth and the strength of him. Ok, it's very affordable, and it'll be good for you to restore the perfumes from the your collections that came to your heart. However, do not forget that this is a copy and it can never be original. Well, there are cases where copies are stronger than original, for example Cuba gold vs. Jean Paul Gaultier La Male, but that does not diminish the previous quotation. Once again: for 8 euros bottle 100ml. can't be better, but you must forget any perfume idea, 'cause we still talking about copy-clone. Zara perfumes are copies, in most cases, in fact, they are all copies, but they save the home budget!

Bought a decant just to figure out if it is fb worthy since there are no Zara stores in my area. It is indeed similar to Sauvage with what smells like a woodier base and perhaps a little mint added up top. Fresh and affordable if you like the sort. Not sure about longevity just yet; projection is less than the nuclear Sauvage but still at least average. I definitely enjoy it but am not yet sure if it will be a full purchase... will decide after a few wearings. If you dont want to invest in a full bottle of Dior or just want to save that bottle for special occasions, Aromatic Future will definitely please most fans of "that Johnny Depp cologne".

I'm usually not a big fan of Zara frags. Somehow something in them kinda chokes me. But this one...just amazed. I was planning on buying Dior Sauvage, but after reading the reviews I gave this one a try and I instantly bought it. I know that all Zara frags are clones of other either designer or niche fragrances, but this one is definitely the best one yet. Incredibly similar to Sauvage, just a bit lighter I'd say. Well, thanks to the Fragrantica community I just saved about 80 euros. Big thank you guys!

Aromatic Future smells exactly like Sauvage, but minus the longevity and projection that it's known for. Aromatic Future lasts about 3 hours at most for me, but it's decent for it's price. If Sauvage is ever reformulated with criminally poor performance, Aromatic Future would certainly be there to become it's cheaper alternative. As for now though, this is useful for using in situations like at work where I wouldn't want to waste a pricy scent (I don't work in office environments).

Zara is selling this fragrance again,but on another bottle with other name ...The new bottle have the name "ZARA SCENT#2" , i sprayed on my arm and after 20 minutes i detect a huge similarity smell 90% of Dior Sauvage and i think "wow a good clone 100ml for about 10€" i didnt buy it because i have almost a full bottle 100ml of Sauvage , but if you dont wanna spend 80€ on Sauvage go check zara scent #2

I smelled it yesterday and i must say its a decent representative of Dior Sauvage's smell but not exactly as Sauvage. I find this more soapy and weak while Sauvage is top quality and its projection and longevity are no way near Aromatic Future. Anyways i should say that Zara has done a great job with this one and if you dont wanna spend too much money and smell like Sauvage you should get it !

Ok this is not clone of dior sauvage. THIS IS Dior Sauvage. Initial spray is a bit different, but 5 minutes later and the drydown is 99,9% the same as sauvage. If you can get your hands to this, theres no point of getting Dior at all. I bought this along with Tone-indeterminee, which is btw also a fantastic scent. Zara has just steped up the game recently and i like it!

Yesterday again! I sprayed that Zara on and hours (!) later someone complimented me on that he knows my cologne because he owns Sauvage on his own. Outstanding clone! The only difference for myself: Sauvage got a way richer sillage. You can smell yourself the hole day. The Zara has a good longevity too, but you don't smell yourself very quickly. Other do!
