This leans more closely to the EDT and people seem to like it as I ended up gifting three bottles of this the past year or so to friends and family who couldn't justify Dior's price. The magnetic cap and everything make it quite obvious what it's copying. However, since it's apparently an EDP, if it's actually copying the EDP version which is the best in the Sauvage line (yes better than Elixir), than this is flat and sterile compared to it. Beginners are going to love it, it'll surely get complements but the blast of refreshing bergamot isn't there in the opening and it's just dull in comparison so if you've got the original and just need something to offset the cost when you're around people or going to places that don't matter this is for you. However this is not replacing the original. Longevity and projection are the same as any paris corner, emir or fragrance world so expect to reapply this every 4 or 5 hours. If anything try a different sauvage clone as at most this is 60-70% accurate.
