Fruity, rounder, cheaper

My father-in-law often gives me duplicates and cheap copies of larger fragrances. Nice meant - but with such a collection mostly then of course pre-programmed to give away or to dust in the showcase. "Writer" of Cyrus, who gave it this Easter, it won't turn out that way. It is also a copy of an olfactory blockbuster, namely Dior's "Sauvage" - but since I always wanted it in my collection despite a lack of love (especially measured by the hype, the fragrance quality and its price), because it's so easy to wear every day, this time I'm very happy about the inexpensive gift. Because "Writer" can keep up with its model amazingly well and costs only a fraction of it (100 ml - 15€)...

"Writer" can't deny who he's emulating. From the bottle to the colour, from the tangy top note to the musk-clean drydown, it's all based on Dior's new "Wilden". But damn well done! "Writer" is even less pungent, far more fruity, softer and almost looks a bit higher quality. Bad tongues now say that this is not difficult with "Sauvage", but with the PLV you have to do it first. Somewhere between EdT and EdP of his great role model. "Writer" is a beginner's fragrance, always-goer, recreational charmer, office favorite. And an extreme wallet saver. If I already had "Sauvage" in the collection, I would give it away with a clear conscience. But since this is not the case, he will stay and pull in firmly and will certainly not be worn infrequently. A fresher Boss Bottled. Not a bestseller for nothing. Teenage, penetrating, shower gel-like. That sounds daunting, but with this green apple you never actually do anything wrong in the office. With the dampened "Writer" even less than with Diors polarizer and mass ejection.

Flacon: inspired by the original. I like it excellent. The "Writer" could have been placed/written more discreetly (or omitted altogether), but otherwise it's top. Especially for the ridiculous price. With thick glass, beautiful, deep color and even magnetic closure (!). Fine!
Sillage: pleasant, yet attention-grabbing. People like him and compliment him. From Fiti to the boardroom.
Shelf-life: 6-9 hours are also hardly a whine.

Conclusion: "Sauvage" for penny fox? No, more than that. A real, solid, pleasing alternative and for me even the more pleasant fragrance. Sorry Dior, but now I don't need "Sauvage" in the collection anymore!

Aren't you Johnny Depp???

Yeah, where do I start?
I'm a big fan of Dior's Sauvage. I own the EDT and also the EDP. For me, these are some of the best year-round fragrances there are. And I have a few fragrances in my collection and I know even more.
Now I've come across Writer and I really have to say: Johnny is you!
Wow, the scent is insane.

To the fragrance:

The fragrance is a dupe or twin fragrance however by Dior Sauvage EDT.
But so what!!
I like and am not a fan of Dupes or cheap imitations. Except one and that is Mercedes Benz Cologne which smells exactly like the Dior Homme Cologne.
Now this one comes here and I tell you one thing, there will be when you ask 100 people 99 say, oh that's Sauvage.
It's so well done wow, I didn't think so. I still have 100ml of EDP and 65ml of EDT from Sauvage. But I still took two boxes of these with 100ml in them plus shower gel. For 12.99€ ;-)) Yes right heard 12.99€ for, if you like, Sauvage ;-)
the only difference when you inhale really deeply and test both on your wrist is the bergamot in Sauvage. But you have to smell the skin completely.

To the bottle:

Who thinks now, yes exactly there they will definitely save is wrong. The bottle is even better than the original. He is heavier and more powerful and he also has the magnet lock ;-)
and one more big wow!!!!

Silage&semi-work:

Honestly, that's also remarkable, because the original is already very good for a fresh perfume, the writer is just as good.

Silage:
You definitely perceive one.

Shelf life:
He accompanies you on your clothes for a good 7-9 hours maybe a little longer.

Conclusion:

So I'm a fan like I said from the original and it will stay that way. But I'm also a fan of Writer now.
Writer? Sauvage, Writer ne doch Sauvage ;-))

I can only say I slammed. I now own 365ml of SAUVAGE ach ne Writer ;-))))

Sauvage twin of the finest !

Sauvage currently appears to be the second most successful men's fragrance in the Dior brand in terms of the number of community users, after only three years since its launch (compare Fahrenheit: 30 years). So there must be something about this brew that's so fascinating. On the other hand Sauvage is also able to polarize; tendency one loves him, or I hardly dare to speak ;-)

I belong rather to those who feel attracted to him, which is surely also due to the fact that Sauvage is simply different. Sure, "different" doesn't automatically mean good or better, but at least I have a good portion of the charm of the special (even if he's a mainstreamer today).

When Sauvage came onto the market at the time, people were surprised by the new intensity of a fabric that had previously played a minor role: Elmiharz. And this fresh, forest and earthy tone was cleverly arranged with a rose geranium to create a mix whose warmth finds its counterpoint in pepper. So different, so attractive - also because the whole is flanked by the popular head and base notes bergamot, lavender and vetiver. Something new in the heart, carried by the tried and tested! Really magical, how the extraordinary became a mass suitability.

But wait a minute, so far it's just been Diors Sauvage, not the Writer. But that doesn't matter, because he is a dupe like he is in the book. And because the resemblance is so striking, I take the liberty of claiming everything that applies to the Sauvage for the writer as well:

It starts with a great cocktail of light citric and fruit, dancing on a very fragrant Elmi Rose heart, which accounts for about 70% of the fragrance - even later. The whole thing is accompanied by a seasoning that is slightly peppery and tends towards balsamic. After half an hour, the Writer - just like Sauvage - becomes a little more pleasing and mellow, which increases as the fragrance progresses. But in the first 2-3 hours both show themselves quite differentiated, as single scents can be smelled well and always appear more or less. That's what makes up the quality, including that of the writer. I'm impressed. I'm impressed.

As already indicated, both scents are accompanied by a hint of finer and sweeter at the back, always pleasantly warm and slightly woody-spicy. Even in durability and Sillage they don't take anything, which are more than enough for both.

Nevertheless: even though I am raving about Sauvage and Writer here, they are not my first choice, which is much more fruity and citric on the way. That's why I "only" got the Dupe, but still estimate the similarity of the Writer to the Sauvage at about 90% (in contrast to "Extreme Story", which almost only uses Elemiharz and Rosengeranie, so it's much more monosyllabic and can't keep up with Sillage or durability). But if I am completely wrong with 90%, I made a fool of myself with this commi instead of Johnny ;-) But please test the Writer first, because it is really a

Sauvage twin of the finest!

Edit: Pepper is of course also found in the Writer, but is not listed in the pyramid. Instead he completely does without Ambroxan, which some people don't like about Sauvage and therefore might be an advantage ...

Edit: The Sauvage direction was a bit too peppery/spicy for me, so I downgraded the writer to 6. But this does not change its quality !

Makes you think

Sauvage, a little more spice, a little more pepper.
Writer, a little more fruity, a little more unobtrusive.

Sauvage, normal lid.
Writer, with magnetic cap.

Sauvage, almost 10 hours shelf life with strong Sillage.
Writer, almost 8 hours shelf life with good Sillage.

Sauvage, 100 ml somewhere between 60 and 90 euros in sale ? (don't know exactly)
Writer, 100 ml for fucking 15 euros. Also cheaper if you want.

In the end, Writer makes the big Dior a little ridiculous. By far not a masterpiece, it is based on Sauvage (more on EdT), but one of the best copies I ever smelled. Packaging even more than equivalent, sprayer with cap even better. The bottle is the same, the performance is just about the same. Scent as mentioned even softer, more pleasing, although 90 percent identical.
The price difference makes you doubt how much money you can waste. How can such a perfect imitation be so massively cheaper without even saving anywhere in quality? It's more like the role model.
If it becomes better known, Dior could take its top seller out of production in a hype-free world

What remains in times of the virus: writing!

I don't want to go into detail about the current situation, it is bad enough and above all you can't escape the news anyway. What you can do well in that time of staying at home is write, write and write again! Yes, writing became the title of the fragrance described below, which has the beautiful name "Writer". Why exactly it was titled like that, I will probably not be able to clarify, I find the name much too unfitting for that. Maybe it should be renamed? D

To the fragrance:
It is often compared to the Sauvage from Dior and that is simply undeniable. During the blind test it could almost happen that the scents are mixed up. But why I rate the "Writer" better than his brother from Dior, I would like to explain. Let's start with the scent, which is slightly more fruity than the sauvage, especially the apple comes through very well and stays in my mouth for a long time (tangerine and lemon are also good and present). Otherwise it doesn't seem so "rough", it is more playful and yes, maybe even younger. Furthermore he is - similar to his twin - super fresh! A true summer friend one would think. Next you have to emphasize the ENORME and with that I mean really enormous durability. With me it lasts at least 10 hours. Just as an example: Today I put it on at 11 o'clock, did some exercise on the exercise bike in the afternoon and now I'm sitting on the couch and still smell it quite well. Also the Sillage is great, everyone around me (there aren't many of them anymore) could clearly notice him. Well, and last but not least you have to mention the price-performance ratio, it is extremely cheap. For just under 20 Euro you can get 100ml including shipping. Especially compared to Sauvage this is great! Almost everyone can buy it blind.

Who exactly can access blindly?
- Those who like Sauvage, but want more performance
- Those who like Sauvage, but put a little more emphasis on fruity notes
- Those who like Sauvage, but can bear it a little "younger"
- Those who attach great importance to fresh, "shower gel-like fragrances"
- Those who want to be perceived on more than one arm length even in summer
- Those who wish to be able to perceive the apple in the fragrance
- Those for whom sauvage is simply too expensive

--> P.S.: He is clearly masculine and not much for unisex attempts :P

So "Writer" could inspire me to become a writer, he got me to write a comment again. Maybe he can keep his name after all? What do you think? Anyway, writing is a nice distraction in times of the virus.
