Sauvage's scent brother? I don't know if I can agree with that. I love Sauvage, mainly because of the extreme pepper note. The rest of Carbon may be similar, but this delicious pepper is exactly what I miss, and it is what makes Sauvage stand out in my eyes. Carbon is a great fragrance, but it takes two hours for it to develop; I find the top note to be - I almost want to say disgusting - to me it smells like anise, and anise smells just like it tastes - disgusting. However, after this phase, a very pleasant, cozy scent unfolds on my skin, which definitely has a certain cuddle factor. Still, the pepper is what, in my opinion, makes Sauvage an absolute woman magnet, and I don't just mean little girls, but all female beings between 18 and 45+. Dylan Blue has more in common with Sauvage than Carbon. This may be due to my beginner's nose, but mainstream does attract.
My 2 Cents.
PS: If anyone has pepper tips for me, I'm all ears, I need it a bit stronger, and this biting quality of Sauvage does its job excellently.
