Sometimes the testers you try in stores are cologne, or weak Eau de Toilette, so you miss some of the more subtle notes when you try them on, compared to the higher concentration you buy. For me, there is a strange top note that smells like dill pickle. I think it's the violet leaves since usually leaves are unpleasantly green to me. However, it wears down in about an hour and I enjoy what remains. I've also worn it together with Aquatic Coconut or a rich Vanille Insensee or an elegant Vetiver Fatale that I also have. It's a nice change up when I want something less feminine but pleasant, clean, with a hint of something intangiblely... arresting.

Personally I love to use this fragrance as a room spray. Specially after cooking and the smell of the food is all around the house this perfume gets rid of it instantly. This is such an interesting scent, I also love to spray it on my coats and bags.

I ended returning.. I wasnt happy with it. I smelt it on someone before purchasing and thats what encouraged me to buy because it was great then but when I received mine it smelt more like pickles believe it or not ha! maybe a bad batch? I do plan to try something else soon.

I love this scent. It smells wonderful on. I have worn the original by Le Labo and this version and I do detect a slight difference, but only slight. I actually think I might like this version a little bit better than the original! I know for sure that I like the price better.

i felt the most prominent notes were amber, sandalwood, violet and the musk. unisex describes this perfectly, it is very strong and long lasting, often times i can still smell it on my clothes the next day; and for the price concentration and longevity is definitely a dealbraker but dossier makes wonderful exceptions! ive already purchased other scents, cant wait to recieve and try!

Smells like Le Labo! I like this perfume because it is definitely a cheaper option to Santal 33. It doesn't last as long, but Le Labo lasts all day which is a pretty high bar. However, it does last on clothes so I spritz a few pieces on my winter coats (would not suggest doing it on leather or anything that could stain) and it stays on the jacket until wash.

having had the le labo Santal 33 before I was very excited to give this perfume a try and was not disappointed. initially it is significantly brighter and almost a bit citrusy when first sprayed but after a few minutes the deeper notes come out and it is indistinguishable from the original le labo perfume. 100% worth the price and will be buying again.side note- lots of reviews are saying that it smells like pickles and that must be a body chemistry thing bc it totally doesn't haha

I love this perfume. I was a little unsure what to expect, because I wasn't able to smell the inspiration perfume in person but this is great! I love sandal wood, so I took a risk and I'm glad I did. For me I would say this is an everyday kind of scent, and could probably be layered as its fairly mild. Finally, I cannot believe the volume of product you get for the price, its incredible. Will definitely be trying more scents.

I have been in love with Santal 33 for years. I always used it sparingly on special occasions because of the cost. Now I can wear it anytime. It's long lasting and identical to the real thing. I've tried another favorite and was quite surprised. Dossier has my business for sure.

This fragrance gave my boyfriend and I headaches right away. It is very strong. Maybe it would work better if sprayed lightly in the air and we just walked through it. It smells like an expensive hotel lobby. I wish I liked it more. It does have a strong dill smell which is why alot of people says it smells like pickles.
