Salvo

Hey if Dior salvage is your vibe then you'll love this. Me personally, I think it leans a little too masculine for me. Very fresh barber shop manly kinda vibes. I've smelled the original before and I'd say this is pretty spot on. Basically everything you can ask for from a Salvage clone. They got this one down.

After 4 months of buying this, it went from a mainly peppery, spicy scent, to a more fruity leaning take on sauvage with less of the pepperyness, projection for mines was pretty loud but the longevity was pretty mediocre lasting only around 4 hours. overall pretty nice

Impressão de um aroma "sintético". Usando há 1 semana. No escritório 8 borrifadas foi perceptível a todos e preencheu a sala por 2 horas. Diminuí a carga de borrifadas para não agredir. A lavanda é legal. Mas o que fica mesmo na pele é a Pimenta. Não sei se comprarei outro frasco no futuro pela faceta sintética. Tive até um pouco de náuseas. Vou usar agora 3-4 borrifadas e ver se me acostumo. Se serve de consolo, falaram bem do cheiro em mim.

Anise, clove, lavender, and ambroxan. So nice. Then there’s the citrus top note, which makes it feel weaker, but also makes it even better for office wear. Since it’s from an Arabic house, the spice notes are very sharp, in a good way. It’s different from French or British-style spices, which usually feel more mellow and higher quality. For $20, this is so good. The value-to-quality ratio is fantastic. Don’t buy this thinking it’s going to fully replace the OG, but the value is definitely there. I randomly blind-bought it purely because it was $20, and I’m glad I did. 8/10

idk about the projections but it lasted 7 hours on my skin after ~2 weeks of maturing, maturing is a MUST for maison alhambra fragrances

Powerful bergamot citrus opening with lingering notes of lavender and ambroxan. Many people compare this to Dior Savauge and I have to disagree. While that fragrance is probably the most mass appealing scent of the 2020s by far, it just spelled like a sophisticated bubblegum fragrance. This however feels more authentic and less try-hard than Sauvage. It’s as exciting as it is mellow and has a clean spicy-citrus and woodsy feel to it. As a person that loves the autumn season I personally would deem this closer to the spring and summer side of the calendar. While it’s more of a day frag to me, I would also wear it at night as well. Do what you want with your bottle. The value is crazy good in comparison to designer fragrances. Madison Alhambra really delivered with this one. Shout out to the UAE from the USA.

Very clean and professional smell. Smells like camphor with lavender and citrus mixed together which is pleasantly good for office. The opening is citrusy and it slowly settles down to be a smooth costly room fresher smell that is not overpowering. Lingers on clothes for 12 hours and 6-7 hours on skin. I'd rate this a super safe blind buy even for someone just getting into perfumes (Unless you prefer floral or musky/woody notes in your perfume). if you want to get the best of this, I'd advise 2 sprays on your shoulders and 2 on each side of the neck to get maximum out of the fragrance.

All I can smell is coriander. That's pretty much it. It was a christmas present from my sister so it wasn't a blind buy.

Cheap lavanda style scent that becomes unbearable after the dry down. Imagine a baby powder/cheap lavanda explosion in your face.... More Sausage DNA than Sauvage... Stay away of this blind buy!!

Cheap, similar Sauvage DNA, lasts 4-6 hours on me after masceration depending on how much I spray/ temps... and is great at the office. I would rate this an extremely safe blind buy and a great value overall. This has gotten me the same amount of compliments as Sauvage EDT 8 month update! I am at 40% remaining on the bottle, it has developed an odd, sharp scent that almost smells like dirty work boots. Always stored in a cool dark place, very odd. 9 month update: This odd scent that smells like dirty work boots has transformed into dirty work boots and an ozone cleaner. Not really sure what happened here, this, along with all my other scents are stored in a cool dark room, never any direct sunlight. Bottle is at 30% or so and will likely stay there because I probably won't use the rest. Luckily, a fresh bottle is cheap!

Nunca que este perfume foi fraco , eu gostei , silagem boa e fixação excelente , uma bergamota cortante de início que logo fica um aroma alavandado e especiado , o ambroxeline é aconchegante , só elogios , ah pra não me esquecer , respondendo ao Hookedon, Salvo não é inspirado no Sauvage EDP e sim no EDT.

Strong pepper mixed with Bergamot, dries down with a distinct Star Anise and Nutmeg before the Vanilla. Ambroxan consistent through out. Strong and steady, this is an easy blind buy for me.

I'll keep this review short and simple. Yes, it will get you in the area of Dior Sauvage BUT it's just on the weaker side. I do own Sauvage edp and the quality is just richer and really kicks you in the face. This Salvo dupe is light and airy but if that's what the budget calls for then you'll be ok with it in the mean time because it will get you somewhere in the area.

Worth the price!

If you like the sauvage dna and on a budget, just get this. This leans slightly more citrusy and is more mellow than og sauvage, which makes it even more versatile, while still capturing that DNA. Really decent longevity on my skin giving around 5-6 hrs. Even longer on clothes. I have not macerated the fragrance yet. Will see how it turns out. It's already good as is now out of the box.

Buen perfume , pero , no dura ni proyecta mucho además es un olor muy masificado.

It is easy, all features of Souvage are being covered!

From my point of view it yields towards Souvage EDT just at the beginning. However, few minutes later after first spray, it follows a different path towards a higher citrical smell. Once it start to dry out you get a soft citrus and metallic note, turning into like a more shower gel smell. By the time it totally drys out, then you get the nutmeg keeping the soaping smell. Don't get me wrong, even though if is not a full SEDT dupe, it smells really good, competing against any other blue perfume out there.

SALVO EDP (MAISON ALHAMBRA) 💎 O MEU "ASSINATURA BARATINHO" O Salvo EDP é aquele perfume que não pode faltar na minha coleção. Para vocês terem ideia, ele é meu "assinatura" de guerra para o dia a dia (custou só R$ 90!), enquanto o Club de Nuit (R$ 175) fica como o assinatura mais caro. Uso quase todas as manhãs, é versátil demais! 👃 O QUE EU SINTO (EXPERIÊNCIA DE USUÁRIO) Não sou especialista, mas uso ele todo santo dia. - A Saída: Ela é bem cortante e seca. Tem cheiro de casca de limão com "mato" — me lembra um pouco citronela ou eucalipto. Confesso que não curto tanto esses primeiros minutos. - A Evolução: Depois de 10 a 15 minutos, a mágica acontece. Vira um suco de limão com cheiro de grama molhada de orvalho, bem fresca. No final, ele fica mais apimentado e com um toque de lavanda, mas sempre mantendo esse limão gostoso. - Apresentação: O frasco é bruto! Pesado, bonito e com tampa magnética que dá um estalo satisfatório. ⏱️ PERFORMANCE & "MODO DE USO" Aqui eu não economizo: mando 12 borrifadas! Como é barato, passo sem dó: - 3 de cada lado do pescoço; - 1 no meio do peito; - 2 a 3 em cada braço; - 1 em cada ombro da camiseta. Resultado: Aplico às 8h da manhã e sinto ele exalar bem por umas 3 horas. Às 19h (11 horas depois!) ele ainda está lá, firme e forte, rente à pele. 📅 ONDE EU USO É o rei dos dias quentes e ocasiões casuais: - Trabalho, faculdade ou escola; - Parquinho com o filho e a esposa; - Churrasco de família, visita na mãe ou igreja de manhã; - Uso até para dormir as vezes de tão confortável! mas ai eu dou um ou duas borrifadas apenas 📊 RESUMO GERAL Preço Médio: R$ 90,00 (no precinho com cupom no grupo de ofertas de perfumes "garimpo das fragrancias"). - Inspiração: Dizem ter +90% de semelhança com o Sauvage, mas nunca tive o original para confirmar. - Custo-Benefício: Absurdo. Qualidade nota 10 por preço de perfume nacional básico. - Recompraria? Com certeza, sempre! - Blind? Sim, se você gosta de perfumes frescos e cítricos. NOTA: 9/10 (Só não é 10 pq eu acho a abertura dele meio seca e cortante)

More harsh and screechy than suave from FW. If you want smoother version, just get suave or savior from FW. Rate 7.5/10✨

This smells like when you get out of the shower. Manly shampoo and lemon. Its simple, yet really good. Just an everyday gym/school fragrance. For 9€ an absolute steal. 7,5/10.

Wow… this is insanely good for the price. You can pick up a 30ml of this for under 10$. And it smells really good too. It definitely has that fresh spicy smell.

Fantastic dupe. Fraction of the price. May need a while to mature. As a female , I don’t just love to smell this on a man, but I do wear this as well. It’s fresh. It’s aromatic and an easy grab.

Comparison (Salvo EDP on left wrist 2025 Sauvage EDT on right): Salvo EDP: More lemon. Flatter smell. Lemon dominant. Still nice, but lemony version. Soap. Much lighter. Airy soap. Barely noticable pepper undertones. Quality is amazing just can be slightly more cloying with the bergamont. Breezey. The blue is light blue like a freshie cologne. Dior Sauvage EDT: Smooth Sweetness. Smoother soap with Ambroxan smell and pull of metallic blue. Is that the pepper? Much darker. Barely stronger. Both have decent sillage. Salvo EDP smells great. It's a little heavy on and more synthetic with the lemon. Just don't spray it on your neck! It has some pepper too, but not as much and not as refined and dark and blue and metallic as Sauvage... I donned 7 sprays once than 8 sprays the second time and had a nice night out. It really only needs 3-4 sprays. I let it macerate a week. I think it was more cloying with the extra sprays... It's not that weak, it's pretty decent, the airier lemon also makes it harder to smell. I'd only spray one extra spritz of this compared to Sauvage. Salvo EDP is overall brighter. But from the bottle, both smell almost exactly the same.

It smells like the OG but waaaaaay too weaker. Last 4 or 5 hours and almost no sillage, mabye 30 min then close to the skin. I wouldnt buy it for real, there are other better clones.

I haven’t smelled the original, but this one smells good. I like it so far, the performance is decent, and I think it’s worth it

I have had two bottles of Salvo, one I bought in 2023 and went through FASTER than I wish because it was sooo amazing. From the first spray, the citruses and ambroxan were dominant similar to Sauvage edt. 10 sprays of that batch would be equivalent to 4 of Sauvage, and for $19 that’s a steal. The scent was fairly linear with a solid vanilla spice in the dry down. Slight room filling capability, amazing projection for the first 3 hours (if you don’t smell it you have gone nose blind for sure. because you just as well might be choking everyone around you). That’s it for the 2023 prior batch. I got my next bottle, a 2025 batch i presume in June and it was very much disappointing. The spicy metallic ambroxan had been replaced by an almost chilling bergamot. During the initial sprays you’d have a synthetic feel which made evident its price point but eventually faded into the afore mentioned bergamot, lemon peel smelling, feel. The projection disappeared and it changed from a 8+ hour lasting fragrance to a mere 4. I pray to God that this bottle I bought was a gray market fake because I personally think it’s deluding for a company to turn such a hidden gem into such a mess. Maceration didn’t make the scent too better but it atleast made the bergamot smoother. I received quite a bit of compliments however, it wasn’t the fragrance I fell in love with so yeah… EDIT: 6 months after I left this review the scent has grown to something I much appreciate than I did. It’s a very soapy and clean scent. Inoffensive, office and school safe, performance is average, but it’s a compliment getter. People appreciate how clean you smell. Considering buying another bottle. Now I can afford the real sauvage and I still want this in my wardrobe.

This cologne is a 90% match to the original DNA. In my opinion, Maison Alhambra is crafting the best clones coming out of the U.A.E. right now. I've tried other brands that attempt to clone Dior Sauvage, and none of them come close to the accuracy of this Salvo. Performance-wise, I get a solid 7-8 hours of wear, whereas the original lasts a good 10-12 hours on my skin. But hey, for $20, what are you going to complain about? The quality of the scent and the longevity you get for the price is way above what I'd expect. This is a great deal.

This is Sauvage's kid brother. In every respect, it tries to keep up with its older sibling and just falls a bit short. While it's very reminiscent of it's big brother, it's not quite as rich in complexity. Nevertheless, it's still a better than good and is just as diverse. It's a solid option if you are looking for a more affordable dupe that will cater to all occasions and situations. That being said, it is just not quite as impressive as the original. Sure, the older brother is a bit played out for many but it is still a Hall of Fame fragrance that many others are measured against. Nevertheless, folks are a bit weary with this HOFer and it's clones. It does suffer from oversaturation. And this overexposure does give Salvo one of it's few advantages. It's still different enough and toned down from the original to be a bit more tolerable for those who want this type of scent but desire a more reticent version. Personally, I am probably going to relegate it to a work/play/running around glaze. It's also a solid choice for a post workout scent. For the young guy needing an affordable date scent, it will happily get you by, but, when you can afford it, I would recommend something with a bit more complexity. When it comes to projection , where Sauvage is a 9-10, this is more of a 7-8. My skin is scent friendly and it's still radiating pretty decent nearly 6.5 hours after I first put it on (Update. It's been nearly 11 hours and I can still smell it on my t-shirt). It projects at about an arm's length or slightly better and it leaves just a whisper of a trail. It's perfect for work. If you are constantly interacting with others, this is a modestly strong scent that won't suffocate those around you. Another nice quality about this one is how it evolves real quick on the dry down and continues to do so throughout the day. Initially, it leans a bit more lemony and synthetic. But that tones down as it dries and flirts with smelling like it's big brother. Overall, for frag heads, it's a utilitarian scent that serves as a reliable alternative to the orignal and It really comes in handy as it offers you something cheaper to rely on while saving the more expensive sibling for more opportune situations. It's a very nice fragrance I enjoy but it isn't a heavy hitter. But for the price? It still does impress. And considering that and it being a scent that many feel has become a cliche', I am going to give this a 7.5/10 but with a strong recommendation at the below $20 price point. Again, I really enjoy this one.

after letting it maturate for 5-6 months, i mean i sprayed it 3-5x and let it SIT for that long; the blend is wayyy smoother, and the smell is super similar, to if someone smelled it on you they’d assume it’s sauvage. however the longevity still isn’t on par with the OG, however it’s not terrible (6-7h instead of 8-9) but for the price, i don’t think you can beat it. i don’t like sauvage, and i’ve hardly even reached for this, so this definitely will stay in my collection, rather than me go spend $70-80 on the OG and truly never reach for it.
