Dupe for Dior Savage Elixir

[Baxterbaxter]

I love the smell of this perfume but can’t justify the cost, unfortunately! I’ve found a similar product here - it’s got great reviews, but does anyone know if this genuinely smells like the real perfume? It’s for my husband for Christmas, but I’ve already bought the main present, and I know he likes this particular scent.

If not, can anyone recommend a similar priced dupe?

Obviously meant Dior SAUVAGE - silly autocorrect!

honestly? just save up the little extra and get the real thing. wait for black friday

My DS has the perfume parlour dupe of this- it's a v good match for the real thing.

but i suspect lasts a fraction of the time

I use dupes and they last just as long as the real thing.

how do you know?

ah just read all the many times times you have recommended a dupe perfume website.

interesting

I know. Imagine recommending a good product that's budget friendly. Crazy right?

Because I've also used designer perfumes. Haven't noticed any difference in how long the dupes last.

not a product

an independently owned shop selling dupes that you have scatter gun recommended all over mumsnet 🤷

I am also a huge fan of Perfume Parlour and buy all of my perfumes from there. If you search mumsnet for "perfume parlour" you will find many positive reviews.

Because I've used them for years and love their perfumes. They sell sample sizes which can be useful for people who aren't sure what they want. Why would I not recommend them? Are you insinuating that I work for them or something?

Whereas you've come onto a post where OP is asking about dupes because she can't afford the designer fragrance and suggested the just save up. We don't all have spare cash just lying around.

hence me suggesting to save up and get the real thing

I'm sure if that was an option for her she wouldn't be asking about a dupe.

Superdrug do 5ml perfume pods for £7.99
and you can choose any of the aftershaves/perfumes!

we may never know…

Lidl Bellini Homme is a dupe for Dior Sauvage. I don't know about the Elixir though - is it a flanker or concentrated version?

@Baxterbaxter I've never tried the perfume vault but I've heard their scents are pretty spot on and last well.

The German company Éclat do excellent Dupes too. I have their dupe of Chanel Coromandel as well as the real thing. The top notes are a bit different but the dry down and longevity are the same.

Thank you to the pp’s who recommended the dupes! I will check them out 🙂

The perfume parlour dupe for this is pretty strong and lasts ages - can still smell it on DS when he gets home from school!

The Scent Reserve no 297 is a sauvage dupe ,got my son it for Christmas last year.
Still got the same offer on at the minute of 3×100ml bottles for £29.91.So I got him that and got myself the other 2😬.
All of them smell lovely and last really well ,you can still smell them on your clothes the next day.

I only found yesterday that Perfume Parlour sell bundles of 3x for £30. When did they start this?? I’ve always bought individually for £38

Perfume Parlour has a deservedly good reputation

Yes I agree.

Some people are just looking for an online punch up. 🙄
