Sauvage clone
The Icon EDT by Antonio Banderas (There are also Elixir and EDP versions, that last one quite close to Gentleman EDP or Benetton Black Intenso) is a fragrance which, overall, makes the best quality - bang for buck ratio in this price range for a blue fragrance, besides being particularly close to Dior Sauvage EDT.

If you're looking for blues and particularly Sauvage, sure, you could get catalog or clones which are more synthetic than anything and don't last much, or more expensive ones like Armaf, Pradas, Versace, stuff like that, which are going to make a considerably deeper groove into your wallet if you are just starting to collect or want a good swiss army knife frag. Hence, enters Antonio Banderas. The brand, knowing the Sauvage DNA was very high selling, formulated a perfume similar to it with a proper presentation and a particularly low price range, under the 30 USD mark everywhere in the world. I also acknowledge the fact i do not own the fragrance, but i have tested it.

It is pretty much Dior Sauvage from start to finish, with slightly different nuances at certain times. Citrus top, pepper heart, ambrox base, slight fougere lavender / geranium and herbal nuances, and a certain woody backdrop. Great versatile fragrance, great for spring and summer, goes nicely into fall as well, not the best for winter and hence enters the EDP flanker, but overall an extremely versatile fragrance. Does have a lower performance than Sauvage, but i wouldn't say it's bad (Some 6 - 8 hours with a noticeable projection, a good compliment puller to anyone looking for that) and a more synthetic - forward aura to the frag overall, but, for 30 bucks, this is the best alternative to Sauvage imo. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a cheaper alternative to Sauvage. Greetings

Dior's Sauvage on a budget. The share a prominent citric like screetchy note that morphs into woods, I assume must be the Ambroxan.

Surprisingly pleasant & smooth, along the lines of a certain Dior but perhaps more like Dylan Blue. Familiar but decent.

It smells so good, Fresh as hell. The performance is pretty bad. 1-3 hours, and that’s being generous, for my skin.

A decent, not super synthetic, fragrance for what you pay. Modern, with a blue vibe going on. Violet leaf, grapefruit and amberwood. 3/5

Very good fresh blue cheap scent. Doesn’t smell cheap and has a decent atomizer and good bottle but lasts about 3 hours on my skin..

Really pleasant and affordable alternative to Dylan Blue. Smelled them side by side today. Very similar.

Great affordable blue scent with good sillage, reminding me more of Jimmy Choo Man Blue and Ferragamo Acqua Essenziale Blue than Sauvage!

Fresh scent, slightly sweet in the base. Longevity/sillage is okay. It's nice to have, but not a must. Price/quality is good...
