Sauvage Eau de Cologne for €9.95!
Scent:
Aromatic Future starts off very fresh. The lemon particularly stands out in the top note. After just a few minutes, it disappears, and in its place, a synthetic, yet not unpleasant lavender and woods emerge. It remains woody in the base note of the fragrance, with Ambrox and a hint of vetiver joining in. A gentle sweetness (possibly tonka bean) also makes an appearance from time to time.
In comparison to Sauvage, I would say that the similarity of the scent itself is around 90-95%. However, Sauvage is stronger, louder, and more intense to my nose, but also harsher and more prominent.
The relationship mentioned by other users, that Aromatic Future could be seen as an Eau de Cologne version of Sauvage, I find accurate and agree with.

Longevity & Sillage:
With 4 sprays, I can perceive the scent on myself for up to 6 hours. The sillage is only present for the first 1-1.5 hours. After that, the fragrance becomes very close to the skin.
The scent may behave differently at higher temperatures, but at the moment (in single-digit temperatures), it is not strong enough for me, especially outdoors.

Versatility:
In my opinion, this fragrance is best suited for warm days, as it presents itself as fresh-citrusy, and the minimal sweetness in the base will not be unpleasant even on hot days. Furthermore, I find it not particularly suitable for cold days due to the mentioned weaknesses.

If you like Sauvage...
After spraying the Aromatic Future at Zara, you immediately notice the top note of this fragrance twin. So, if you like Dior Sauvage, you will definitely like this scent as well. If you don't like Sauvage, then this one is certainly not for you. (I can't quite warm up to it, even though I always find it interesting.)

The development on the skin is somewhat different; after the top note has faded, Aromatic Future actually becomes a bit woodier than its fragrance twin, yet the similarity remains recognizable. The sillage is very strong at first but quickly becomes more subdued. Although Zara fragrances are usually quite moderate, the longevity of this scent is quite good.

There isn't much to say about the price-performance ratio of the 100ml bottle; it's simply very good. So, if you're into this rather special fragrance, you should definitely give this one a try.

Unexpected -> Dior says hello
Today I spontaneously tried FUTURE and I bit my knee when I realized that I had laid down 100 cookies for this scent -> D*OR SAU*AGE. So I have to recommend it, what else can I say, 100ml for 10 cookies. Keep it up ZARA. TOP SCENT FOR LITTLE MONEY

Very close to Prada L. R. Carbon, but more floral (lavander). Somewhat close to Sauvage, with less pepper, smoother ambroxan and more floral

A nice clone of Dior Sauvage. Performance is good. It is worth it for just 10 euro, or 13 if you buy in bundle with Aquatic - Mind.

Budget version of Dior sauvage. It is a bit different as it has this slight laundry detergent smell

The top note is similar to Sauvage. It quickly shifts to a minty direction. But still really good. :)

Right from the start, this beautiful base note of Sauvage. Becomes woodier over time, in my opinion. For € 9.99, you can't go wrong.

This morning I accidentally drank from the Sauvage instead of the apple juice, and lo and behold, 30 minutes later it smelled like Aromatic Future in the bathroom.

Great scent with Sauvage DNA. However, the peppery note doesn't stay noticeable for long. This can be more advantageous in the office.
