The review
Strong contender. That is where modest une lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Sauvage.
Afnan sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Sauvage's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $26 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Sauvage — the 9th cheapest of 36 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Afnan publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: bergamot and pepper up top, Sichuan Pepper, lavender and star anise in the middle, Ambroxan, vanilla and cedar underneath — the shape of Dior Sauvage.
Top
- bergamot
- pepper
Heart
- Sichuan Pepper
- lavender
- star anise
Base
- Ambroxan
- vanilla
- cedar
For the untamed everyday. Bergamot and pepper crack over ambroxan and vanilla — raw, radiant and impossible to ignore.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
