I’ll start by saying this perfume smells very good, feels formal, fresh with a sweet touch, and somewhat mature without smelling old. Its longevity on my skin is a maximum of 6 to 7 hours, with the first hour having moderate projection and never becoming a beast. Then it becomes very skin-close but still smells good; nothing beast-mode, but I don’t think it would be appreciated if you’re in a crowded indoor place (it’s not a CK One or a simple fresh scent). On clothes, it can last 9 to 10 hours, which I don’t recommend, unless you don’t mind contaminating your next fragrance on the same clothes because it does leave a very characteristic residual scent (in my case, since I rotate fragrances). I think there’s some confusion regarding the names in this ‘Salvo’ line because this Intense fragrance smells similar to Sauvage Parfum/Elixir to me; it doesn’t seem fresh like the EDT or EDP. I just wanted to clarify that. I’m about 37 years old, and the same people I interview every time I buy a fragrance have told me that in their opinion, this ‘Salvo Intense’ feels a bit old-fashioned as I mentioned, so be careful; if you want to smell younger, go for the EDP.
To start, it smells great: formal, fresh with a sweet and mature touch, without any old-man vibe. On my skin, it lasts 6 to 7 hours; the first hour has moderate projection and never becomes a beast mode. Then it settles on the skin, smelling good, but I wouldn’t recommend wearing it in crowded indoor spaces (it’s not a light CK One). On clothes, it lasts 9 to 10 hours, but I don’t do that because it leaves a very strong residual scent that contaminates the next fragrance if you rotate scents. I think there’s confusion with the names in this “Salvo” line: to me, this Intense smells just like Sauvage Parfum/Elixir, not fresh like the EDT or EDP. I’m 37, and several people I’ve asked say this “Salvo Intense” feels a bit mature, so be careful: go for the EDP if you want something younger.
It shares that ‘sweet’ tone that Sauvage EDP might have, something not found in Salvo EDP or Sauvage EDT; the scent is similar but they are not the same.
Clone of Sauvage Eau de Parfum. It’s not a clone of the Parfum, not even close, although an unaware person might confuse it with a clone of Sauvage Eau de Toilette, given the similarity between the EDT and EDP. Good olfactory quality, though it doesn’t reach the level of the original Dior. If the Sauvage EDT feels too sharp with that excessive and flashy pepper to you, this EDP clone solves the issue, because it adds a touch of elegance by cutting out 50% of that loud pepper and adds a sweetness (not gourmand at all) that rounds out the fragrance, plus a nutmeg note that gives it extra body in the dry-down, making it more mature. I don’t like the EDT; it gives me a headache, and this EDP clone makes it very wearable and elegant. For quality/price, I give it a 9/10, and for performance and projection, an 8/10. Be careful, it projects without screaming and lasts longer than it seems.
Smells very good, cultivated, very similar to Sauvage but with some changed notes.
I owned it. I bought it along with the other two Salvos: EDP and Elixir. The purchase was around 50 euros for all three bottles. I bought them to experience getting closer olfactorily to the originals. The experience was valuable, even positive, to the point that shortly after I ended up buying the Sauvage EDT, EDP, and Elixir, plus a mini of the Parfum. I must be emphatic: while these Salvo Intense, EDP, and Elixir correctly mimic the scents they copy, there are obvious differences: none achieves 100% of the same aromas they try to plagiarize. None has the olfactory quality of the three scents they attempt to reproduce; these fakes are noticeable from the opening to the fade, of lower quality. This is mainly felt in three notes: in the Salvo EDP and Intense versions, the lavender and bergamot are extremely synthetic and alcoholic. In the Salvo Elixir version, the vanilla evokes an extremely synthetic vanilla essence, the kind used in baking. Versus the Sauvage Elixir, where the vanilla is a creamy, lactonic delight, soft but present and very natural. It’s not that the Sauvage fragrances are the most recognized for realistic olfactory notes; no, while Sauvage does have a synthetic character, it’s fundamentally due to ambroxan, but the bergamot and lavender in Sauvage, while not the best in perfumery, are far superior compared to all available clones, inspirations, dupes, imitations, copies, or fakes. And these are no exception. Regarding performance, they don’t even compete with the Dior ones. Not even close. But they allow you to superficially approach the olfactory experience of the originals, and that’s the most valuable thing to conclude from this trio of fragrances. Without forgetting that these “Salvo” fragrances are cheap scents that smell like cheap fragrance given the ingredients they use. But they result in a good opportunity to superficially approach the aromas of Dior’s original line, and, why not, decide whether to buy the originals or not.

It’s only similar to the opening of Sauvage EDP; it lacks the same development and just smells good at the beginning.
It’s just similar to the opening of Sauvage EDP; it doesn’t have the same development, but it smells good at the start.
What a great perfume! First, let’s talk about it on its own, without comparing it to Sauvage EDP. It’s an excellent scent with good quality and longevity. The opening is citrusy and spicy, quite refreshing. As it dries down, the lemon citrus fades, giving way to a spicier note of pepper and sweet spice thanks to the anise and star anise—not cloying, thanks to the lavender that follows, adding freshness and lasting until the end. I detect vanilla at the very end, dry, alongside the lavender and pepper, creating a sweet-fresh sensation worthy of a modern blue fragrance. It’s incredibly versatile: works with polos, shirts, and blazers, but isn’t formal enough for a suit. Ideal for the office, parties, outings, or everyday wear; super pleasant, and both men and women will say you smell good. Perfect for any season, with total dominance in heat, though I wouldn’t wear it on the beach during the day because of the vanilla. As a Sauvage EDP clone, it’s not 100% identical—I tested it several times against my brother’s bottle. The difference is that it lacks that iconic metallic note from the Dior line (excluding the Elixir), but it shares the DNA that makes it very appealing. If you already have the Dior but aren’t in the mood to drop 5,000 pesos every time you finish it, this is an excellent option to use without worrying about the cost and go wild.
What a great perfume! 🤤 First off, without comparing it to Sauvage EDP: it’s an excellent scent, good quality for the price, and great longevity. The opening is citrusy and spicy, very refreshing.

It’s incredibly versatile: goes with polos, shirts, and even blazers since it lacks the formality of a suit.

Perfect for any season, with total star power in the heat, but I wouldn’t wear it at the beach during the day due to the vanilla. As a clone of Sauvage EDP, it’s not 100% identical; I tested it several times with my brother’s bottle. The difference is that it lacks that iconic metallic note of the Dior line (excluding the Elixir), but it shares the DNA and tastes very good. If you already have the Dior and don’t want to spend 5,000 pesos every time it runs out, this is an excellent option to use without worrying about the price and pulling the trigger hard. 👊
Saying it’s synthetic or lacks Dior’s quality is like saying a cat has four legs; it’s obvious. But comparing a $20 bottle to one costing over $100 isn’t very smart. The scent is similar, of course, since Sauvage is hardly natural anyway, so copying a synthetic aroma isn’t a big deal, especially since the original has been reformulated and isn’t the beast it used to be. Both last almost as long, but this one projects more, period. It’s a shame because I preferred the Dior. If you want to spend more and smell better for less time with more quality and originality, go for Sauvage; if you want to spend very little and get that aroma for a couple more hours, go with Salvo. That’s all there is to it; it’s up to you.
Excellent budget perfume; in my experience, the longevity was spectacular for the price. It’s an alternative, not a clone of Sauvage EDT. Fresh, spicy, sharp, metallic, and charming. The opening is top-notch in terms of scent; afterwards, it becomes more synthetic but still smells very good. What stands out most is the longevity: in my personal experience, it projects very well for the first 3 hours with about 12 sprays. Then it’s easily perceptible for up to 9 hours after application. A great perfume at a ridiculous price; this didn’t cost me even 15 dollars, and no catalog or Zara perfume is this cheap. Excellent in my opinion, highly recommended.
Excellent budget option with spectacular longevity for the price. It’s a fresh, spicy, sharp, and metallic alternative that’s charming at first, though it does feel more synthetic as it dries down, but it still smells great. What really stands out is the projection: strong for the first 3 hours with about 12 sprays, then it stays noticeable until the 9-hour mark. A fantastic perfume at a ridiculous price—under $15, and better than many catalog or Zara scents. Highly recommended.
A delight! Right out of the bottle, it smells identical to Sauvage EDP, but as it dries down, it gains presence with nutmeg and a hint of anise, leaving behind that rich ambroxan that everyone loves. While the original feels more balanced and lavender-forward, this one stands out with a citrus-herbal vibe and a synthetic touch that evolves beautifully over time. I paid 400 pesos for it and I’m very satisfied so far.
