My boyfriend bought me the holiday advent calendar and I'm glad this was in it so i could try out some masculine scents too. This is my 3rd favorite masculine scent from Dossier... behind Musky Oakmoss and Citrus Ginger. Of all three of those, i think this one has the most "typical" men's cologne scent. I give it a 7.5 out of 10, and a 10/10 for lasting all day.

It smells the EXACT SAME as the Dior Savage!! I got it to compare smells since my brother has the original and I can for certain say they are EXACT DUPES!!! My brother wears it so he doesnt use up the expensive one and he always smells like the original 10/10

This is supposed to be a masculine scent for men, however, I think women can pull this off. This is perfect for people who like spicy fragrances that smell like fall time. I think that this is a good date night fragrance, especially in the fall and winter. This is probably not the best for the summertime or for the office. Ive never smelled the original, but Ive heard its very similar. Definitely worth a try even for women!

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.

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.

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.

I found this cologne online when searching for a cheaper alternative to the Dior Sauvage. I got this for my boyfriend and not only does it smell identical to Dior, but it is slightly less strong which I love. The smell is still strong don't get me wrong, but it is less overpowering. I will be buying many more fragrances.

Idk what the real smells like but this one is amazing. I mean there's much better out there that's why I took one start it cause idk maybe it could be a little stronger it s little it's strong idk there just something about it but anyways you won't go wrong with buying this for your man it she's great and my man loves it. So this is a girl's point of view also

So I was skeptical of how closely these really match the scents they are trying to copy, so one day I sprayed some of this on me, went over to the mall to a store that rhymes with Casey's where I picked up a bottle of Sauvage and compared what was on my wrist vs the real deal. Dead on! I will never doubt again. Dossier for life!

This smells nice, however the star anise note is way way too strong and unfortunately ruins it for me. If they toned down the anise a few notches to make it not so BAM in your face, it would honestly be a great fragrance, just needs smoothed out somewhat. With that being said, it most resembles Dior Sauvage EDP with the anise note, rather than the EDT or the Parfum (both of which I happen to like much better than Sauvage EDP exactly because of that prominent anise note). So yeah, future buyers should know Aromatic Star Anise is modeled after Sauvage EDP and has a sharp anise note. Im sure Dossier makes some great scents though as I really want to get the Ambery Sage, Citrus Ginger, Spicy Vanilla, etc.
