Aromers No 18 Sauvage is an Extrait de Parfum. No 18 Sauvage opens with Bergamot and Pepper, settles into a heart of Lavender and Sichuan Pepper, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Ambroxan. Aromers's No 18 Sauvage carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

Sauvage's bergamot-ambroxan skeleton is one of the easier modern masculines to approximate, and this dupe gets the fresh-spicy opening close, but the ambroxan base is noticeably weaker and more synthetic-thin than Dior's radiant original.

About

No 18 leans directly on Dior Sauvage's massively popular bergamot-and-ambroxan structure, opening with a peppery citrus burst that's genuinely close to the original in the first half hour. The Sichuan pepper and lavender heart adds the right fresh-spicy edge. Where it separates from Sauvage is the ambroxan base: the original's radiant, skin-hugging "blue" quality is a specific, high-quality ambroxan accord that's difficult to cheapen without it collapsing into a thinner, more generic musky-woody finish, which is exactly what happens here after a couple of hours. Still, for the price, the opening act delivers most of what people actually love about Sauvage.
