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.

This is a VERY attractive and mass-appealing masculine fragrance. It comes across as very fresh and spicy with some woody elements and perceivable sweetness from the lavender making this a pretty popular scent among the people who smell it on me. Maybe not a particularly UNIQUE fragrance but it's literally cloning Dior's Sauvage which is by no means a groundbreaking cologne BUT they did accomplish their goal of making a comparable cologne of better value. Aromatic Star Anise is definitely a viable substitute for Sauvage eau de toilette which makes it a success in my book. This is my second Dossier fragrance and I have yet to be disappointed.

This is a nice scent that feels like a cousin to the original, with the evergreen notes more prominent. However, this scent goes away after an hour or so. In comparison, I have a strip of cardstock that I sprayed with the original at a big-box beauty store weeks ago, and it still retains the scent. If longevity matters to you, Star Anise will disappoint sorely. If you want a perfume just for yourself, for about an hour, and you like the original this is based on, you might enjoy it.

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.

I bought this for my boyfriend for Valentines Day and he loved it!! He was talking about buying another bottle before wearing it out anywhere. It smells really good and I really love the bergamot. Probably will definitely be buying him more and finding more scents for him.

I bought the Dior savage for my husband because it smells absolutely incredible. Its hard to resist when he wears it. This one smells just like it! I sprayed the card that came with it and had my sister do a blind smell test. She asked if it was Dior savage. Thats how good this is! My 13 year old tried claiming it for himself lol. This is honestly so worth it!

The cologne does smell pretty much like the name brand. The issue is that the scent does not last like the real one. I have never carried extra cologne thru out the day to reapply and dont intend to so I am a bit disappointed it doesnt last more than maybe 4 hrs compared to 10 or 12 for the other.

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

I can tell if a guy is wearing the Sauvage by Dior cologne from a mile away - its my absolute favorite. I got my boyfriend this dupe for Christmas and its AMAZING! Almost an exact replica of the original scent and I get the same warm fuzzy feels when I smell it. Cannot recommend enough omg

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.
