Truthfully I just started getting into cologne about a year ago abs this by far has quickly become my go to sent. Not too over powering just right; however, you will have to apply it twice to keep the sent going other than that an amazing cologne to add to your collection.

At first I was slightly concerned this would smell like black licorice due to the anise but this is a fantastic darker scent that is great for layering. I use aromatic pineapple with this one and the sweetness of that scent really helps this pop. I get complemented on it regularly. Definitely a great standalone daily scent as well.

Overall this fragrance smells good and it is pretty similar to the original Sauvage. However, I find ZERO reason to buy it or any of Dossiers fragrances again because they will last strong for maybe 30 minutes and then completely die. The longevity and performance of the perfumes are absolutely terrible. Yes, it is fraction of the price, however you need to spray more sprays for other people to even smell it and at that point, you might as well buy the real thing. I had high hopes but was ultimately disappointed. I bought three different perfumes and they all turned out the same.

I lost count of the number of compliments that I got while wearing this. I enjoyed it so much, I ran out of the larger bottle in just a couple months! You'll definitely get your money's worth if you're looking for a staple scent to wear. Great for dates as well.

Like most dupes on this website, the cologne smell fades pretty fast (2-4 hours). However, it does pretty smell nice, you just have to keep re-applying or spray a lot. Everybody hypes up Dior Savauge so i had to try this scent out and it was a solid universal choice

My brother was hinting he wanted the original for Christmas when I saw the price tag I was um sorry can't do it. Then I read all the amazing reviews here and thought let me try it. Wow was I glad I did! The scent is amazing and lasts a very long time. My brother says girls come up to literally just smell him when he goes out...lol. Dossier you successfully hooked my brother.

If you're looking for a scent that truly stands out and leaves a lasting impression, this is the one. It smells incredible, and you'll definitely get a ton of compliments! This was my first purchase, and it was worth every penny. Highly recommend 10/10.

Purchased this as a Valentine's gift for my partner-- it smells SO good, masculine but not in a cliche or overpowering way, a sophisticated scent that isn't too strong. he also loves it, I'm sure in part because I can't stop commenting on how good he smells and how much *I* like it.

I bought this without ever smelling the actual Sauvage and I've got to say after getting the opportunity to smell the original this inspiration of the fragrance smells much better.... by miles. I've come to learn that about this place, all of these fragrances are inspirations of a particular fragrance and often smell better. Now when I smell something I like I'll come here looking for the dossier version.

It does smell like the Dior, but I personally prefer this essence since feels more naturally aromatic. The anis star gives it smoke notes that adapt to the men ph really good. I wish it would last as long as the Sauvage but just add some Vaseline to your cologne spots and you ready to go.
