Our verdict on Salvo Intense: Favourite

This Sauvage EDP dupe is a bit of a gamble. Some say it's an undeniable bargain that punches above its weight after a good, long maceration. Others find it harsh and synthetic from the jump. If you get a good batch and have the patience, you might just bag a winner.

Its fresh spicy and citrus accords make it a versatile choice for many occasions. However, its moderate to strong projection, once macerated, means it might be a bit much for a formal office setting but perfect for dates and casual outings.

About

Salvo Intense kicks off with a sharp, zesty bergamot, quickly followed by a fresh spicy punch from Sichuan pepper and star anise. Lavender weaves through the heart, adding an aromatic, clean edge. The base settles into a smooth, musky warmth of ambroxan, with just a hint of vanilla for a touch of sweetness.
