I bought this one because I read a review that it smells more like Sauvage cool spray than Sauvage. I actually love the Sauvage cool spray more than Sauvage so I bought it for that reason. And yes it does smell more like the cool spray and I really enjoy it.

My best friend dislikes extremely strong or excessive smells, and we have both been trying to find a more affordable option for expensive brands of perfume that finish in the blink of an eye with how small they are. This was the perfect Christmas gift; he loved it. The packaging was nice, the shipping was fast, and the lid for the bottle was magnetic! making it impossible to lose. I too am considering purchasing something for myself here, there are so many choices :)

Ive had plenty of experience with Dior Sauvage over the years, in different concentrations, and this is a great replica. The scent is very similar and an untrained nose couldnt tell the difference, they would just understand that it smells really good. Performance is good, not quite as good as the real deal but good nonetheless. Would purchase again!

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.

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.

Aromatic Star Anise is the epitome of elegance and masculinity. This cologne is a perfect harmony of fresh bergamot, spicy Sichuan pepper, and warm ambroxan. It's bold without being overpowering, making a statement of sophistication and charm. The longevity is impressive, lasting all day and transitioning beautifully from day to evening. It's a versatile scent, perfect for any occasion. Aromatic Star Anise is a true classic in the world of men's fragrances, deserving of a full five-star rating.

"AROMATIC STAR" I could not tell the difference. When I tried it myself I became a believer. This is by no means a cheap imitation yet a well-crafted and balanced perfume that is very very close to "Dior's Sauvage" if you have tried it before. I would say 93% across the board with smell, long-lasting, and complements. The only drawback is it's about 50% less for a 1.7oz or buy 2 bottles for the same 50% less than one 3.4oz

My wife purchased the name brand Sauvage for last Christmas and used it up. Decided to try Dossiers since Ive purchased other cologne from them previously. And I gotta say this one hits right on the money! Even my wife asked if I had gotten me a new bottle of Sauvage! I said Nope, this is Dossiers clone of Sauvage! She couldnt believe how much it smells like the original!! Definitely ordering it again!

This fragrance opens very bright and peppery but with some sharpness. The sharpness fades after a few minutes as the peppery spice notes really come forward in a clearer way and the citrus quiets down. The fresh citrus top notes do wear away completely much faster than I would like but the combination of warm and deep mid and base notes that are left lingering after are hard to beat and quite addictive. The fragrance is versatile enough for all year and every setting and environment while complex enough to not be boring if maybe a bit ubiquitous.Given how great this fragrance is its a shame the performance isnt stronger. Projection starts off initially maybe two meters but fades within the hour to one meter or so then down in another hour or so to a much more intimate skin scent. Once its gotten down to that point it does linger for quite a while. Ive had mornings that I wake to the base notes there to ever so subtly greet me from the night before and thats a nice way to wake up. During the day Ive reapplied at about the 4 hour mark if I want another burst of bright citrus and pepper or just want to be smelled beyond hugging range. However in the evenings I let the base notes linger for nights of Netflix and chill with the wife. I would say if your okay with reapplying the value with Aromatic Star Anise is great.One side note, when testing the fragrance and attempting for more performance more than 4 sprays would give me a headache. Id recommend reapplying instead of over spraying.

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.
