This one's a proper firecracker, a budget clone of Sauvage that divides opinion like Marmite but gets a lot of love for its price-to-performance ratio. Expect plenty of compliments if you're into that vibe.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

UDV Star kicks off with a zesty bang of bergamot and mandarin, brightened by a hint of crisp apple. As it settles, a clean aromatic blend of lavender and sage emerges, with a subtle whisper of pine. The dry down introduces a smooth, masculine leather note, grounded by earthy patchouli and a touch of fir, creating a versatile and modern scent profile.
