The review
On paper, Farouche is a reasonable bet if you want Sauvage for less.
ALT Fragrances 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 $65 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Sauvage — the 23rd cheapest of 33 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT Fragrances 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
The original opens on bergamot and pepper, turns to Sichuan Pepper, lavender and star anise, and settles into Ambroxan, vanilla and cedar. That is the brief Farouche is working from.
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.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 42 twins of Dior Sauvage we can price, Farouche is number 23 on price per 100ml.
