(Not) reinventing the wheel
In Sauvage's already extensive portfolio, there were initially great expectations for this release, but at the same time no idea where the journey would take us. Without alcohol? Milky liquid?
But first things first..
In addition to the EDT, Sauvage offers a sweet EDP, an even sweeter perfume and finally a sweet-spicy elixir. The similarities lie not only in the DNA but also in the projection and sillage. They are fragrances that are permanently present and therefore quickly get on your nerves.
"Sauvage Eau Forte | Dior", on the other hand, is completely different:
The milky liquid is not only white and matt, but even looks greasy like milk in the glass. You worry for a moment about where to spray it. Once applied, no film remains but everything dries off immediately. And what does it smell like? Wow okay!
The opening is edgy, sweetish but also spicy. "Amyris Homme (Extrait de Parfum) | Maison Francis Kurkdjian" comes to mind here, as the tonka bean combination there also leaves a bright, sweet and edgy impression. This impression remains in the middle section of the fragrance, but is captured by green lavender vibes. The combination creates an Akigalawood association for me that makes me think of "Bois Impérial | Essential Parfums" or "The Hedonist | Ex Nihilo"... distant. Afterwards, the fragrance remains linear in its progression, but remains airy and dry at the same time.
It is clear to me here that this is not a fragrance for the masses. Not for sauvage lovers or compliment junkies.
This is Dior as hipster, neoalternative, different, far removed from Sauvage. Not only technologically innovative, but also a completely alien fragrance character.
The performance of the fragrance is crazy and probably due to the new technology without alcohol. It has no lasting sillage, but still works quickly as a room filler. Even 3 hours after application, the spicy, airy mist still lingers in my nose.
I am really impressed but can also understand the negative reviews. Because anyone can do "simple". This one is controversial and different enough to convince just the right people, not the masses!

"Antiperfume" 13
There are perfumes that are less perceived as perfume than as smell or fragrance. First and foremost, of course, Geza with its "famous" Escentric series, which deals with individual fragrances, from which topics such as perception thresholds and compliments end in eternal discussions.
IsoESuper, like Ambroxan, should now be known to everyone at least as a carrier in almost every perfume. Viewed individually, the two of them can already give quite a lot of pleasure: IsoE as a soft, cool-dry cedar wood smell and Ambroxan with its rather sweet-woody accents, both somehow convince every perfume lover at some point. Be it "monothematic" or as a carrier or additive combined with other substances... which finally finds its way into the bottles via Dior, Chanel or Hermès.
With Another13 we are dealing with a "smell", which at its core appears completely detached from any perfume idea as an abstract but also somehow natural work of art. The focus is clearly on Ambroxan, which probably once again prevents some noses from seeing the whole work of art at all, as well as some old acquaintances like birch, jasmine or moss.
Simply put, Antoher13 smells like synthetic.
More precisely, Another13 smells of craft, industry and metal. But also after sun-tanned skin on long summer days in nature, after fresh sweat on warm but clean skin, after Petrichor (rain on warm asphalt), after past but also future. Innovative, minimalist, consistent and purist.
After an alcoholic start it goes directly in the Ambrox veil through the industry, off into nature. Where he remains in the metal-Moschus mix and in between flashes up metallic-coolly like the weather lights in the summer thunderstorm. Similar to Molecule01 it also comes in waves. It wafts, reacts to temperature and environment. After a more exact evaluation of altogether 5 persons it can be said that Antoher13 on a good arm length is reserved and pleasant, fantastic 12-15 hours perceptible.
Gentle but radical in its implementation, convincing in its durability, Another13 has captivated me completely. For me, the perfect "anti-perfume" when I want to smell the way I like to smell myself, without putting on a more "superimposed" perfume. When I feel "arrived and done" and leaving out means more than having to. Synthetic, but maximum natural. Art can be that simple.
