The Scoop
Modest Une captures the fresh, peppery opening and aromatic heart of Sauvage EDT quite effectively, with a convincing bergamot-pepper top and geranium-lavender middle. However, the base lacks the refinement and complexity of Sauvage's ambroxan-labdanum blend, resulting in a slightly flatter dry-down that doesn't quite match the original's polished finish.
Key Differences
The clone's base is noticeably lighter and less sophisticated, missing the distinctive ambroxan warmth that gives Sauvage its signature sensuality. Longevity and sillage are also somewhat reduced compared to the original, though the opening accords remain quite faithful.

What wearers say
“Great cheapie alternative for sauvage imho, maybe it doesn't have the beast performance of EDT and it lacks a bit of that metalic note. longevity is 7-10 hours and for the price i paid (20 euro) you really cant complain, its mass pleasing and well worth your money. Cannot agree with some comments here about weak longevity and sillage, if i go more than 3 sprays it chokes people out indoors.”
“Pretty good for $40. 85% Dior sauvage. Doesn’t smell nearly as good however. Opening is very strong and a different kind of pepper than sauvage. This is a pepper with a slight green take that is a little screechy. Not as smooth as Dior. Very close to Savuage edt performance. First couple months performance was average. After it macerated 2 months performance is beast mode. 10-12 hours 2 sprays. I can’t sprays more than 2-3 sprays. 2 for summer 3 for winter. All seasons; all ages. Can be headache inducing if you overspray.”
“Afnan Modest Une = Adidas Pure GameAdidas is cheaper than Afnan yet Adidas PG has a beast Projection because EDT.Same notes. Not very rich feeling same gym vibe.I would recommend this over YSL Y edp because the strong notes. But afterall adidas did better. I don’t know if still available this adidas perfumes but those have better smell than this arabic high prices.Longevity is good.I rate 7.4/10 for this i like fresh perfumes.But overall I would go for Invictus Legend or dupes over these.”
