AI Verdict

Salvo by Maison Alhambra is a remarkably close interpretation of Dior Sauvage EDP. The core DNA—bergamot, pepper, lavender, geranium, and Ambroxan—is faithfully reproduced, delivering that signature fresh-woody-amber accord. Salvo skips vanilla, making its drydown slightly drier and less warm than the original. Projection and sillage are comparable in the opening hours, but Salvo fades noticeably faster, losing depth by hour 4–5 versus Sauvage's 8–10 hours. For $20–$60 versus $150+, Salvo offers exceptional value for casual or office wear where longevity isn't critical. Not a perfect 1:1, but close enough to impress.

Fragrance Notes

Salvo vs Sauvage: The Notes

6 of Sauvage's 9 notes show up again in Salvo — a 67% overlap on paper. Bergamot, Lavender, Geranium and Ambroxan appear in both compositions and do most of the heavy lifting for similarity.

Where they diverge: Salvo skips Pepper, Sichuan Pepper and Vanilla and leans on Black Pepper and Pink Pepper instead. Remember that identical note lists can smell different in practice; concentration and raw materials matter, and that's factored into the similarity score.
