I bought the first pair as a secret gift for my long distance boyfriend, but after mixing this with another scent I had Paired with him on our previous meet up (Bath and Body Works: Ocean)I had to buy a back up so I could have a bottle of my own to wear and remind me of him! I won't lie, I was a bit skeptical at first since I wasn't to crazy about Sauvage back when I worked at Ulta, but this dupe is that and more! Especially when Paired with an earthy aspect like something resembling of a forest, ocean, etc.10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to find their bf a heavily musky smell or wanting to smell like a adventurer known for their legendary expeditions!

I got this for a Christmas present for my boyfriend after smelling a magazine sample of the original Dior scent. I sprayed it on myself to test and this is STRONG! I feel like this smells different from the Dior scent but not bad! The scent lasted on my skin even after I showered so keep that in mind

My product came without any issue. The packaging was nice too. Very happy about how it came and with the scent card to tell more about it. Nice touch. I like the scent. It's not too strong and it's very pleasant, but the issue for me is that it doesn't last very long...at all. I don't like that. I mean, yes this is a much less expensive option but I don't know if I'll but again because what's the point if the scent doesn't last. I'm not talk all day, I'm talking like even a few hours. And, if anything, I have to spray lots on to get even a modest scent. Doesn't last long, not excited about that at all. Maybe it's just me, I don't know. Hope that helps. MB

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.

It smells good but its not identical. Its missing a note that I cant quite place my finger on. I got it for my boyfriend and he typically wears the originally and agrees that it smells great for the price but its missing something. It also doesnt last as long but I didnt get the extreme version either.

I bought this for my husband after getting a sample of Sauvage and loving it but couldnt justify the cost of buying a full size bottle. This version is fantastic and extremely similar to the original. Seems to last awhile even after working all day. Love it and highly recommend!!

I absolutely adore this scent! I couldnt stop thinking about it (the Dior Sauvage one) whenever I first smelled it in-store. However, I decided on the Versace Dylan Blue Turquoise (hopefully Dossier decides to dupe that one as well! PLEASE!) It matches the aroma of the Dior Sauvage scent perfectly. Its so concentrated that it even stayed on my clothes after a wash and dry!! Extremely satisfied with my purchase and will 100% be buying again! Thanks!

Never had the opportunity to smell the original, and I tend to hold off on fragrances that have "hokie" commercials and advertisements. But I had been hearing the buzz and seeing the reviews about this scent.Very happy I took a chance with this inspiration! I see myself wearing this on date nights, late nights, anytime an intimate and authentic scent is called for.

"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

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.
