With the scent, "man" becomes a Savage ;)
For a long time, I didn't pay attention to it
For a long time, I only heard that it was nothing special
Nothing new in the West
Then my brother got a sample of this scent which he gave me when I was at his place. I sprayed the scent on and then walked home. A journey of 20-30 minutes lay ahead of me. Even before I left the apartment, we both agreed that the scent smelled surprisingly good, but not really special. It didn't blow us away. On the way home, the scent slowly developed and mixed with the cold winter air into a crazy scent cocktail that completely convinced me. The scent that filled the air around me was simply insane. It smelled sexy, elegant, fresh, and just pleasant and very inviting. The next time I visited my brother a few days later, I wore the scent again. When he saw me in the stairwell, he immediately remarked how good the scent smelled, even better than the last time. He was briefly unsure if it was his sample, but then figured it out.
And that's exactly how it is with Sauvage. What you smell at the beginning is basically the whole scent, but just a little bit different. For me, it initially smells like the elegant, sexy Sauvage that I described at the beginning. But then it smells relatively soapy, fresh, and boring for a while. But after that, it comes to the final third development (inspired by Pokémon), or rather to the Ultra Digitation (if you prefer Digimon), I think both are cool. It doesn't matter, but I will now be listening to the Pokémon and Digimon theme while writing this comment.
It's also important to mention that if you don't like the scent right away, stick with it. I had a phase where I found it somewhat unpleasant while wearing it (slight headaches, which has been described here before), but that's no longer a problem. It can also be that the scent just doesn't appeal to you for a while. But I have come to love it, so it is currently my absolute No. 1.
Sillage and longevity are both very good for me. Perfect scent for going out, no matter where.
Reactions from the female gender are very good. My girlfriend loves the scent and other women often sniff behind me :D With this scent, you simply surround yourself with an inviting and attractive aura.
It is considered the mainstream scent par excellence (currently), but I almost never meet men who wear it, not even when going out/in clubs or wherever. So feel free to give this scent a chance, even if it takes a little longer. Maybe you will learn to love it too; most women do anyway. Because you just smell like a "SAVAGE"
-Fresh- -Masculine- -Sexy- -Elegant- -Seductive- -Wild- a SAVAGE indeed!

In terms of price/performance, far superior to the original!!!!!
I have tested several Aventus clones. Until now, my favorite was Insurrection 2 Pure. It smells like a very fruity Aventus batch and, for a fragrance priced at 20-25€, it smells very luxurious and well-crafted. However, the sillage and longevity are in the lower middle range, which is simply not an option for me. Insurrection also smells a bit synthetic, but for a 20€ fragrance, it's within a really acceptable range. I became aware of more Aventus clones through YouTube. Among them: Armaf Club De Nuit Intense Man and L'Aventure. I decided to test L'Aventure first, as Club De Nuit Intense was described as quite smoky, and I prefer the fruity Aventus batches. And what can I say? L'Aventure simply smells fantastic. The opening is very citrusy. The strong lemon masks the wonderful scent for a few minutes, which slowly emerges from the lemon peel. Now, the elemi resin gradually blends with jasmine and lily of the valley. The whole thing has a slightly sweet scent. I suspect the slight sweetness comes from the lily of the valley and jasmine. This light sweetness mixes with the fresh and slightly sour lemon and the subtly smoky and slightly spicy elemi resin. This mixture is now laid on slightly damp, earthy wood. After a while, the remaining base notes come in. Amber adds a slight oriental and soft component to the fragrance. Musk forms a sweet base that connects with the woody and earthy notes of the perfume. The fragrance has a consistently sweet and at the same time woody-fresh scent mixed with a bit of smoke and some spices, along with a hint of powder.
Despite the fact that I describe the scent as sweet and even slightly powdery, it smells thoroughly masculine. After about 20 minutes, the fragrance has developed into its full glory and then becomes slightly drier during the dry down. Towards the end, the sweet, fresh, and powdery notes almost completely yield to the woods.
The fragrance has excellent longevity. On my skin, I easily achieve 7-8 hours, and on clothing, it lasts for days, and even if you haven't sprayed it again, it can still be detected from time to time.
The sillage is also very strong. Especially in the first 2-3 hours, you will definitely stand out in closed rooms. After that, it is not as strong, but people who are near you (I mean at a distance of 1-2 m) will still catch a whiff of you and roll their eyes in delight, of course ;)
This brings us to the compliment factor, which is certainly not irrelevant for us men. For the ladies, it is certainly no different, as people generally like to be confirmed that they smell good.
I receive compliments for this fragrance repeatedly, from both men and women. They all love the scent. Some of my male friends have already wanted to buy it for themselves, and the women find it irresistible and sexy. I've heard several times how damn good I smell. Even a very good friend, who only complimented me once on Dior Homme Intense and never again, commented as I walked past her with the following words: "Okay, that really smells damn great, what is that?"
And even women who come physically closer to you won't be able to stop smelling you ;)
In comparison to Aventus: Yes, it is a fragrance that can be said to be a copy/a clone. However, for me, it is not a clone. Yes, it is indeed very similar. In my case, I would say only about 80%. The masculine and sexy vibe that Aventus has is also present in L'Aventure. Nevertheless, it has a definitive individuality for me and smells different from Aventus. This is due to the fact that L'Aventure does not have a fruity pineapple and is not as strongly smoky. In classification, many describe it as fruity, but for me, it is in no way so. Perhaps some people confuse this with the sweet musk, combined with amber and the slightly floral notes. During the dry down, it does become more similar to Aventus, so that in the end, we probably reach a similarity of 90%. If you want even more similarity to Aventus, then buy a little good pineapple fragrance oil and mix a few drops into L'Aventure when you put it in a spray bottle.
For me, it's a brilliant fragrance that makes it 100% unnecessary to spend so much money on Aventus. Here, supposed perfume experts can criticize all they want. A quality difference is certainly present, but none that would make it necessary to spend 150€ for 50 ml of Aventus and not even 50€ for double the amount, that is, 100 ml of L'Aventure.
Absolutely an amazing compliment getter and a great fragrance for going out. You will find yourself smelling it throughout the day and not getting enough of it. Elegant, sexy, and masculine.

Ahoy Proud Sailor or just a mild breeze on the high seas?
I like the original scent, even though there are perfumes that I prefer over Le Male. Unfortunately, the original scent quickly devolves, in my opinion, into a homogeneous mass of very synthetic-seeming vanilla. The longevity was also better a few years ago. Then I heard that a new sailor was preparing to explore unknown scent continents. The fragrance notes immediately intrigued me. I was curious how black lavender, black vanilla, and pear would come together. Eagerly, I sprayed it on for the first time today. I hoped I wouldn’t have to agree with my predecessors here; I was really hoping for a great Le Male flanker, but unfortunately, that’s not the case in my view. The opening is really very sweet; it feels heavier and stickier to me than the opening of One Million. The first thing that came to my mind was: "Sweet gum covered with a thick, very thick layer of vanilla, with a few spices sprinkled on top." I can smell the Le Male DNA through the spice in the first few minutes, but then it fades a bit, although it remains recognizable through the lavender, vanilla, cumin, and cinnamon combo (you really have to pay attention to recognize it behind all that sweetness). The spices gradually fade, and what remains for me is a lot of vanilla, lavender, and sticky sweetness, almost something fruity, perhaps caused by the pear. There’s a hint of amber, and the woods come through a bit at the end of the drydown.
I do like sweet scents, even with a lot of vanilla, and it can even be a bit powdery. DHI and Midnight in Paris both have very soft sides, but they are elegant and not sticky.
I don’t know if it’s just my nose perceiving it this way, but this perfume reminds me of a multitude of women’s fragrances that are just very sweet, packed with vanilla, sugar, and something fruity, those typical overloaded perfumes that have flooded the market in recent years.
The longevity is really good. The scent lasted 6-7 hours, well noticeable on my skin, and then faded slowly. A bit better than the original sailor. The sillage is also quite decent, although I don’t really want that when I smell like this...
All in all, you might already hear it? A big disappointment... Who approves such fragrances and decides to release them, especially in summer? It would definitely only be suitable for winter or cool autumn days. I was really looking forward to a more intense Le Male that skillfully plays with a bit of pear and dark vanilla, but that’s not how it turned out.
When it comes to autumn and winter fragrances, there are simply too many strong alternatives.
Leave this one on the shelf and set sail with another fragrance.
Permission to come ashore, not granted!!!
Edit: I have to completely revise my judgment on this scent. I now find it damn good. Yes, the scent is sweet-sticky. But now I especially like the opening with the strongly dominant pear, a bit of lavender and mint, better than almost any other fragrance. Despite the fact that there are a lot of sweet and slightly sticky fragrances on the market, I know only a few that smell really similar to Ultra Male. After some time, Ultra Male is an interesting, sweet, and yet masculine blend of pear, a bit of dry sweet lavender, cinnamon, and vanilla. A great and definitely sensual mix, in my opinion. After about 1-2 hours, it resembles the normal Le Male quite a bit in the base. This is probably due to the base of amber, vanilla, and woods, which you can also find in the original, or something similar. However, I have long since lost interest in the original scent, and I find it quite boring and never particularly great even before.
The longevity of my scent is quite good, but not nearly as great as the wonderful reviews here suggest. Maybe it’s because I have a new bottle. When I tested it back in July 2015 (and also wrote this comment), the scent lasted significantly longer.
The sillage: This is also quite good, but it doesn’t reach a strong 8 points for me. More like 7.
Compliment factor: The scent is incredibly well received by women. My girlfriend keeps mentioning how delicious and great the scent smells when I wear it. And other women have often turned around and said things like: "Wow, you smell delicious, what is that?" Many of the women reacted to Ultra Male significantly more intensely and positively than, for example, to Sauvage or Aventus.
Fragrance rating raised from 6 to 8.5. A great scent that is very well received by women. Even though it is considered the clubbing scent for young men, I wear it without any problems at 29 years old when going out and also just casually in my free time, and I always get good reactions. Especially since the sillage is quite decent but not very strong, the scent has never been too intrusive for me. A great companion for autumn, winter, and not too hot summer evenings.

Speechless !!
First of all, I just have to say I'm completely blown away... What a magnificent fragrance !!
My first experience with a unisex fragrance was Meharees, which disappointed me quite a bit and also came off as far too feminine.
I was initially skeptical about 24 Gold and was pretty sure that it would disappoint me as well.
But I was so wrong that it couldn't have been any other way....
If I had to describe the scent briefly, I would say: A magical blend of "Opium Pour Homme," "Dior Homme Intense," and a hint of "Jubilation XXV Man."
Many might disagree with me here, but I suppose I shouldn't care.
It has that sweetness that comes from the berries in Opium Pour Homme, along with the delicious and soft vanilla. Then there's the seductive and elegant element of Dior Homme Intense, combined with the nobility and class of Jubilation XXV Man.
I can smell all of these more or less in this fragrance.
At first, the sweetness is really almost a bit too much, and the floral notes in the fragrance make it extremely soft. It would be a bit too feminine for me.
Then, after a while, when the vanilla takes over, the fragrance becomes a dream. Vanilla and amber enchant you, and there's a touch of cinnamon that gives the scent a subtle spiciness.
Jasmine and ylang-ylang skillfully play with the sweetness of the fragrance and meet relatively bright woods that lend a slightly masculine note to the scent.
This fragrance simply blows me away and could become my new favorite next to Dior Homme Intense.
The scent is the perfect blend of sweet, woody, and floral elements. Accompanied by a very dominant vanilla towards the end, a bit of cinnamon, and a slightly smoky amber with a hint of festive anise.
The fragrance fits perfectly with the Christmas season and thus into winter. On relatively cold autumn days, I can still imagine wearing it. But definitely nothing for spring or summer.
24 Gold is, after or maybe even alongside Dior Homme Intense, the most delicious oriental gourmand I have had the pleasure of getting to know.
The fragrance really lasts extremely long, and I can still smell it on myself after many hours. After 5-6 hours, it becomes closer to the skin, but even then, the sillage is still enough to let others partake in this masterpiece. Especially outside on cold days, your fellow humans will be delighted when a light breeze carries this scent to them. The fragrance creates an irresistible warm aura that one cannot escape. Warm, elegant, seductive, and even a bit sensual and erotic, it radiates all of that.
Longevity 9/10
Sillage 9/10
Scent 10/10
Price 100/10
As you can probably see from the points I have given here, the price scores extremely well.
I really can't explain how a fragrance of this class and level can have a price of under €30 for 100ml.
The fragrance is definitely unisex, and I would say it is equally wearable for both genders, but I would actually assign it a little more to men. Thus, it is easier for me to wear it with a good conscience !!
The fragrance was released in 2009 and is therefore a masterpiece of recent perfume history and will most likely one day attain the status of a classic.
For a long time, I searched for a winter fragrance worthy of residing alongside DHI and Midnight in Paris in my fragrance cabinet and settling there permanently.
Now I like it so much that it might even get the presidential suite.
In the end, I can only emphasize again: "an incredible fragrance"
Everyone should test it and take the opportunity to acquire such a masterpiece for an extremely low price.
For the title of my comment being speechless, I have really found a lot of words, but I couldn't possibly withhold what I think of this fragrance from you.
Deserved 100%, and now the cold winter days can finally come, I am ready !!
So I have to go from 100% to 90%.
It doesn't quite reach my favorites DHI and MIP.
The fragrance is great, but already quite feminine, and the extreme sweetness can become overwhelming after a while. I definitely can't wear it regularly.

"Sweety Oriental Grandma with a Few Spices in Her Purse"
I was really looking forward to this fragrance... DHI is empty, so I needed a new winter scent.
Meharees piqued my interest, and the positive comments and strong 80% rating did the rest.
Although I often make blind purchases and have never regretted them, like with Tomo or Midnight in Paris, I wanted to test a unisex fragrance first.
A big thank you to Eule for making this possible with a generous sample.
Unfortunately, I can say right away that it doesn't quite suit my taste, which surprises me a bit given the many ingredients I usually enjoy smelling.
The opening is really very sweet, and it does evoke a slight fair or Christmas market feeling. But immediately there is something I don't quite like, and it seems to be the dates. Unfortunately, the scent lingers throughout the entire fragrance development.
Later, it becomes significantly more pleasant and smells quite elegant.
The combination of rose, wood, cinnamon, and a lot of vanilla towards the end I really like.
But still, there is that one note I can't handle, which initially gives me a bit of a headache.
The longevity is good, and the scent lasts for several hours. For the price, it's top!
The sillage is average, and you only stand out in close proximity.
The fragrance is unisex, but for me, it definitely leans more towards the feminine side, especially in the first hour after application. However, it does change direction a bit afterward and becomes a little more bearable for men, but not much more.
Now the fragrance does radiate something elegant and warm. Cinnamon and vanilla can save quite a bit and are generally among my favorites.
However, I realize that I don't need a perfume like this when my alternatives are so strong and don't contain fragrance notes I dislike.
Not bad at all, but unfortunately not for me... and generally, I find it less suitable for men.
A fragrance I don't need to get, and for me, it's definitely an EDP that suits the female gender more, and I can also imagine this scent more on older ladies. If I imagine that my ex had smelled like this on our first meeting at 19, she would probably still just be an acquaintance and not my ex today.
And whether ex or acquaintance would be better is a matter of debate, just like tastes and this fragrance.
