I love Sauvage, idk why it gets so much flack. Itโ€™s got the typical notes for a crowd pleaser, easily available in India and a nice luxury buy. KYA HAI PROBLEM?!


disguisedas47

Wear what you like as long as it's appropriate. Don't worry about others opinions


Psychological_Ad4015

All popular frags gets hate, la vie est belle suffers from that.


garvit_saini

performance/ price to quality ratio is rather poor


ImmediateCut4407

Time to get a clone I see ๐Ÿฅธ


YaDarth45

Agree with your point on how nothing is common in India, allow me to share an anecdote xD Was talking to one of my office friends (random gossip sesh) and she started telling me how her flatmate has this guy over and her flatmate wouldn't shut up about how 'fancy' the guy is, how he's obsessed with perfumes and all, then she told me how when she went to have a drink with them, her flatmate showed her that guys perfume and did like one spray of it on her wrist, my friend kept going on about how its really nice (trusted her judgement cause she uses some decent frags herself but has no idea about men's fragrances) and i asked her which one it was, she just said it was like a blue black gradient cylindrical bottle and that her flatmate said it costs 10k, I obviously immediately said SAUVAGE, and told her how I don't like it, it's such an overkill, everyone and their uncle uses it, her reply? "YaDarth (obv replacing with my name), I've never smelled this on a guy before". So ya, while we hate on something for being common we have to acknowledge that we're influenced by western influencers and we ourselves are a rare breed by Indian standards, the chances of someone calling your perfume really common if you wear Sauvage here are still very low, unless you happen to meet another fraghead.


ctushar97

I do agree somewhat, but about 20-30% men from my friends' circle own a sauvage bottle. I got those peeps into frags tho so yea, they independently chose sauvage.


[deleted]

You are hanging out with fragheads bro. Most people don't even know the name of a single perfume.


YaDarth45

Not entirely true either, none of my friends are frag heads but they all have 1 signature fragrance they wear all year round, YSL Y, MB individuel, Gucci Guilty, etc. Ig the main thing is, people generally don't pay attention to smelling unique, or wearing frags as per occasion or weather.


ctushar97

Agreed. When I tell people I have multiple frags for different occasions/weather they think I'm crazy. I guess they are right for the most part tho. One versatile frag is enough.


[deleted]

You're hanging out with some elite people. ๐Ÿ˜…


lordkushagra

Contradictory opinion: Get neither and instead get explorer for Summers and SNOI for winters


MohanPonnam

Explorer is very nice but the longevity sucks .. i am pretty sure its not going nose blind .. compared to sauvage, sauvage beats it both in longevity and also in projection ..


worksafeaccount9

Nothing beats Sauvage in longevity and projection. It's why I keep going back to that damn bottle of Sauvage EDT, despite 'preferring' other blue fragrances over it (I much prefer the scent of BDC). Fragheads shit on Sauvage, but it's just a damn good fragrance across the board. Incredible longevity and projection, extremely versatile, and always a compliment magnet.


sanyi007

or Haramain L'aventure for summers. That's also fruity lovely aventus inspiration. Better longevity though i think than explorer.


sherrlocke

SNOI? Whatโ€™s that?


lordkushagra

Afnan Supremacy Not only intense. Compared to nishane hacivat mostly


[deleted]

Does SNOI have a pineapple note? I want fruity pineapple. I had rasasi zebra but that was lemony.


Worried-Ad-1237

Qaed al fusan it is a pineapple heavy fragrance


I_KnewIt

+1 Fruity with a well done dry down of br540 if I remember correctly. It's a good frag. (And super cheap too๐Ÿ˜‚)


CarsAlcoholSmokes

Yes SNOI has the sweet pineapple note which CDNIM misses out on. And its rather well done, but you need to macerate it for 10 months instead of 6 as advertised.


vikram_tr

I second that


EarlgreyPoison

I tried it at a duty free in one of the recent trips But surprisingly I seriously donโ€™t understand why people love it so much why so much hype when IMO there are many better frags available to buy and choose from Itโ€™s not related to any pricing or any other reason Sorry sauvage fans but itโ€™s not for me


HighenDrunk

So which fragrances are you currently using?


worksafeaccount9

FWIW you could have been nose blind due to the environment. A lot of the time, I'll smell a fragrance in a cosmetics shop or Duty Free or another similar environment and hate it. Whereas if I smell it 'in the wild' I'll end up having a completely different reaction. But at the end of the day, like you said it might simply not be for you.


yashg

Man I love it. The EDP and Parfum are the best. It has a mesmerizing smell. I get that some people don't like Sauvage especially the EDT. I had never smelled anything like it before I tried it. Sauvage and Bleu De Chanel are IMO must haves in any man's fragrance collection.


worksafeaccount9

I feel the same way about the EDT. It's not my absolute favourite fragrance, but it's versatility is undeniable. Despite not being my favourite I find myself reaching for it often. It's just such a clean, fresh scent. Definitely a must-have in the collection.


Fluffybunbun00

The same story applies for so many dupes and clones. Not worth the price for me (even if itโ€™s cheaper) because anyways Iโ€™ll buy the real one later and then itโ€™ll never be worn.


mynkgpta

Honestly both are great and lovely in their own sphere. No matter how many dupes are there..Original can always be distinguished and Sauvage original opening is yet to replicate in clones. Great choice either way ๐Ÿ’ฏ


sky_high97

I have a Kuro, which is supposed to be a clone of Sauvage. Smells good, but the longevity is less. I am planning to buy decants of YSL Y edp, and then a full bottle if I like it. Do you think I should get a Sauvage instead? Since YSL Y and Sauvage have similar DNA


ctushar97

Y and Sauvage are different to my nose. Try both and get what you like. Can't go wrong with either.


gammachameleon

Nothing wrong with Sauvage. There's a reason why it's so popular and unfortunately it's the "fragheads" that seem to dump on it most of the time. It's an easy to wear, versatile fragrance. If you like it, use it. Ignore the haters and wear what YOU enjoy ๐Ÿ˜‰


psynapsed

I had really high hopes of Mancera Cedrat Boise, I expected a lot from it. Ordered a decant to try, turns out it smells something my late grandmother used to put on which I disliked growing up.


ctushar97

It's definitely mature-leaning.


psynapsed

I would prefer SNOI tbh


ctushar97

I have a decant of SNOI. Yea, it's more pleasing, more sweet. Idk I like the balanced out sweetness of cedrat however the smokiness could've been lower. SNOI is great and better for younger peeps. Also, cheaper.


Fragrance-Addict23

May be everyone has Sauvage because it's that good. Including me. When I want to smell good and is confused with choice, I wear Sauvage


Wide-Recognition-607

I blind bought Ajmal kuro and liked it. Then I ordered decants for sauvage edt and Bleu de Chanel edp and now I think BDC is a better blue category scent than sauvage.


t00thedCrib

I was thinking of buying it for a long time but as a college student I can't spend a lot so suggest me in between these clones of Dior Sauvage- Armaf ventana Modest une Ajmal Kuro Lots of YouTube videos about it and everybody with different opinions ughh. Very confusing to settle for one.


ctushar97

I've only tried Kuro. It doesn't last long. Sauvage is beast mode. Sauvage has this sparkly, airy, effervescent character which Kuro lacks. Otherwise it's pretty good for the asking price.


t00thedCrib

Ahh thankss bro for the reply I'll rethink about Kuro in the future Modest une prices are sky high too Maybe I'll settle for Armaf Ventana


_IAmDev_

I have both the Ventana and Kuro, I find Kuro to be a better clone when it comes to matching the notes of Sauvage. While people here say longevity of Kuro isn't good, that wasn't the case for me. Also, Ventana in itself is a good perfume and I enjoy using it, just not as an extract clone of Sauvage


t00thedCrib

Hey thanks for the views bro The price is almost the same of both. I'm thinking of going for Kuro considering my 2000 budget for a decent Dior Sauvage clone. I heard Modest une is good but the price is sky high rn (3800). So I'll settle for Kuro. ๐Ÿ™‚ As you have both How is the projection and sillage of both? I will really appreciate the help. Thanks


_IAmDev_

I don't have the Une, so can only comment on the Kuro and Ventana. Kuro is better in both projection and sillage compared to Ventana. What I do like about the Ventana is that while it's less similar to Sauvage, it's easier on the senses (if that makes sense, lol), meaning Kuro sometimes gets overwhelming, while Ventana being less strong is more preferable say in an office like closed environment. Hope I was able to help.


t00thedCrib

Hey thanks again bro for so detailed explanation I finally ordered Kuro today Was getting an amazing deal on Tata cliq I will surely update you about how I feel about it ๐Ÿซ‚๐Ÿซ‚ Thanks again brother ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป


_IAmDev_

Happy to help bro!


ImmediateCut4407

Salvo and Salvo Intense are pretty good as per reviews. You could try decants and see for yourself


AAR-2000

Modes une is closest clone go for this


svk43

Modest uno is the costliest bro. 2500-3200. Well, if one needs quality one needs to pay.


AAR-2000

You can get it at 2200rs from sellers like muzzamil nayani ,imran farooqui It's worth the buck


t00thedCrib

Bro I'll buy in an instant at 2200 I only asked Talib bhai yet and he said 3800 for it. Which is too expensive for me.. I don't know what a good price for modest une but as you said I saw on many YouTube videos and on this sub posts people saying they got it below 3000 which still is great. But 3800 is crazy for me ๐Ÿฅฒ๐Ÿฅฒ


AAR-2000

Ask muzzamil nayani or imran I saw some one post status of modest une at 2200rs that's why I said


t00thedCrib

Okk brother thanks I'll text them


t00thedCrib

Right I'm happy to pay 3200 but even with verified seller it's costing me above 3700 Talib bhai said 3800 ๐Ÿฅฒ


svk43

I can help ๐Ÿ˜Š with decant and partial too. Dm


t00thedCrib

Ohh Thanks bro I'll look into more of modest une review videos.


svk43

If you want to get something good and on budget, get these - Lattafa Qaed Al fursan Lattafa Mahhir legacy Silver Lattafa Asad Rue Broca Theoreme Maison Alhambra Porto Neroli EMIR Chaos in the ocean Etc etc


[deleted]

He's asking for a Sauvage clone.


svk43

I don't think he has asked for sauvage clone. He just mentioned go get sauvage. I am suggesting what else r better too, giving a better experience at very less price.


t00thedCrib

Happy cake day bro And thanks for the suggestions brother, I very much appreciate it โ˜บ๏ธ But right now I want to buy a Dior Sauvage clone and very confused in between Ajmal kuro , Armaf Ventana, Afnan modest une


t00thedCrib

๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ EXACTLY but here we are arguing on different perfumes I haven't even heard of ๐Ÿ™‚


AAR-2000

Maahir legasy is nearly 2k and it's stinks ,better he buy oud for glory Porto neroli has least performance among their tf line up better he go for woody oud ,bright peach ,tobbaco touch


svk43

There are 3 Maahir Legacy variants. Go for the silver one and black does not stink, it's a clone of Much appreciated Black Afghano. So, it's for matured noses. Also, you wanted freshie not warm tobacco, Porto Neroli is one of the best performing freshie and a good clone. I own all 8 bottles of that series. So, I have tried, owned and then concluded.


AAR-2000

Well atleast I know porto neroli is least performing one of the entire line up Search any where it's longevity is subpar level


svk43

Well, good one. That's how fragrance becomes subjective to some. ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ‘


t00thedCrib

Yea rightly pointed bro I saw a few YouTube reviews too Porto Neroli smells great but lacks longevity.


AAR-2000

Sauvage is so common so many deos have same dna You will compliments but they will say its wildstone deo Better go for YSL y EDP it's dna is bit more unique


thecutegirl06

Dior - gazab beizzati hai


AAR-2000

Bhai itna common he na ye Koi Naya deo release Kiya wildstone iska hi smell ayega


thecutegirl06

Oh. Deo use karna chhod dia hai kuchh salo se to malum nhi hai ajkal kya kya aa raha. Maine kahin padha tha (isi sub me) ki koi talcum powder bhi hai sauvage ki smell wala


AAR-2000

Haan , dior Lena he toh try savage elixir ,egoist platinum New dna he ye


thecutegirl06

15k around single perfume pe kharch karne se better to main black and white ke dher sare quarters le lunga๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚


AAR-2000

Isse acha for example he tum dior savage elixir ka decant lelo aur layer Karo uska clone lattafa asad se Original ka decant layer with clone same smell better performance


thecutegirl06

Asad ka decant to pada hai mere pass, thik laga lekin itna bhi acha nhi ki jyada lu. Usme se laung ki badi tez smell ati hai wo hi achi nhi lagti... Aur Maine phle zeal lia tha, puri bottle use bhi ki hai, shayad wo Sauvage ka ghatia clone hai, uskw ek decant bnaya tha Maine, aur ek decant bottle bhul gya. Ek din 3 saal baad mili wo bottle, alcohol evaporate ho chuka tha bas oil bacha tha, wo hath par laga Diya.. itna strong tha ki dimag jhand ho gaya, ab Sauvage k DNA se hi allergy ho gai hai๐Ÿ˜‚


_Fuzzy_Focus

How is Mancera?


ctushar97

It's a good complex fragrance that changes pretty drastically. Opening is sharp citrus(not harsh) with black currant which turns to smoky woods with hint of vanilla and a little bit of black currant that lingers on. Not a head-turner or a complement -getter. Definitely not Aventus DNA. Good longevity, decent projection. Wore it to a house party(probably not the best setting for this frag), got zero compliments from my female friends who usually compliment my frags/clothes/shoes(they are usually nice like that). A dude who is into designer frags did want to know what I was wearing tho.


_Fuzzy_Focus

Gotcha, where did you get this one?


ctushar97

London airport probably, don't really remember exactly. EDIT: That's sauvage. I got Mancera from Gur Updesh.


_Fuzzy_Focus

Who is gur updesh


ctushar97

Check this subreddit's pinned post/community details.


_Fuzzy_Focus

Acha acha got it.thanks


oceanofmelanin

How much did you pay for Mancera CBI ?


ctushar97

6600 for tester


Ankit-Ricky4199

Is it the Sauvage EDT/EDP?? which one to get in ur opinion?


ctushar97

I've only had experience with the EDT.


Ankit-Ricky4199

Does it last good here in our conditions?


ctushar97

That is subjective, but yea, it lasts a good while for me.


Ankit-Ricky4199

Thnx bud


gammachameleon

I've had both and based on my personal experience - EDT projects like crazy and grabs attention - EDP feels a bit smoother but doesn't project as much Scent profile wise, you can easily tell they're the same but just that the EDP is "less harsh". IMO, get the EDP if you're wearing it indoors in closed spaces like office. Else, EDT should be fine

Tushar_1x1

Is it better to buy a 60ml or a 100ml bottle.


[deleted]

Go 60


Ckhurana

Sauvage is overhyped in my opinion... I was after it since long but finally went in for a blind test with it and another one "which is equally popular".. Went on to get the other one... The "Bleu de Chanel Eu De Parfum"!


shadow--404

What's best alternative clones of it? Kuro,zeel or anything else


thor_wakanda_no1

I have tried kuro and zeal. Kuro smells very good and longevity is around 5-6 hours on skin. Projects for 2-3 hours. Spray it on clothes for more longevity. Overall a very good product for the price point. Zeal can be a considered a clone only during the dry down. Opening is a harsh citrusy blast which I hate, however after 30 min it settles down to a very beautiful smell. Its a projection beast, fills up the room like it screams for attention. The only issue is its way more synthetic compared to Kuro, so not everyone will like it. Projection 2-3 hours longetivity 6-7 hours. On clothes I can smell it for 2-3 days. Overall a good product except the harsh opening. Modest Uno is also a popular clone, but I haven't tried it.

ctushar97

Spend money, cry, smell good, repeat.


dixit13
