Sauvage twin at its best !
Sauvage seems to be the second most successful men's fragrance of the Dior brand in terms of the number of its community users, and that after only three years since its launch (compare Fahrenheit: 30 years). So there must be something about this concoction that fascinates so much. On the other hand, Sauvage is also able to polarize; tendency one loves him, or I hardly dare to say it;)
I belong more to those who are currently attracted to him, which is certainly also due to the fact that Sauvage is simply different. Sure, "different" does not automatically mean good or better, but still resonates at least with me a good portion of the appeal of the special (even if he is now a mainstreamer).
When Sauvage came on the market at the time, one was surprised by the new intensity of a substance that has probably never been so overdrawn in combination to the heart notes. Because it is extremely cleverly arranged with a little fine "smoky" elemi resin and the rose geranium to a mix whose warmth finds its counterpoint in the pepper. So different, so attractive - also because the whole is flanked by the popular notes bergamot, lavender, vetiver and patch. At its heart something new, carried by the tried and true! Really magical, how the extraordinary became a mass suitability.
But wait a minute, so far it was only about Diors Sauvage, but not about the Writer. But that hardly matters, because he is a dupe as he stands in the book. And because the similarity is so striking, I allow myself everything on the Sauvage applicable to the Writer to claim:
It starts with a great cocktail of light citrus and fruit, dancing on a very fragrant Elmi rose heart, which makes up about 70% of the fragrance - also in the later course. The whole is underpinned by a spiciness that is slightly peppery and tends toward the balsamic. After half an hour, the Writer -just like Sauvage- becomes a bit more pleasing and sweet, which also increases somewhat in the further course of the fragrance. But in the first 2-3 hours, both show quite differentiated, in that individual fragrance notes can be smelled out well and always appear more or less. This is what makes the quality, including the writer. I am impressed.
As already indicated, both fragrances become a touch finer and sweeter at the back out, always pleasantly warm and slightly woody-spicy underpinnings. Even in durability and sillage they take nothing, which are more than enough in both.
Nevertheless, even if I rave here from Sauvage and Writer, they are not among my first choice, which is clearly more fruity and citrusy on the road. Therefore, I have also "only" the dupe procured, but estimate the similarity of the Writer compared to the Sauvage nevertheless to about 90% (quite unlike "Extreme Story", which comes across much more monosyllabic and can keep up neither in durability nor sillage). However, if I'm completely wrong with 90%, I've made a fool of myself with this review instead of Johnny ;-) But for this please first test the Writer, because it really is a
Sauvage twin of the finest!
Edit: Pepper is of course also in the Writer, but is not listed in the pyramid. For this he does completely without Ambroxan, which displeases some at the Sauvage and should therefore be advantageous ...
