The Scoop
Kuro by Ajmal captures the fresh, peppery opening and aromatic lavender heart of Sauvage reasonably well, making it a competent budget alternative. However, the base lacks the complexity and warmth of the original's labdanum-enhanced dry down, feeling slightly thinner and shorter-lived overall.
Key Differences
Kuro delivers comparable top and middle notes but falls short in base depth and longevity; Sauvage's superior projection and sillage, combined with its richer woody-amber foundation, make it the more refined fragrance despite Ajmal's respectable effort.

What wearers say
“Excellent Sauvage EDP/Luna Rosa Carbon dupe! amazing value for the money, quality is fantastic, very similar to the OG.I would say qulity wise its 95% close to the Sauvage and Luna Rosa Carbon.Performance is also very good, project for hours and long lasting, basically Kuro's price performance ratio is very good.For $25 its a steal.”
“This is definitely a Sauvage clone. Not an inspiration or similar scent chord. So if you're looking for something new, this ain't it.It's pretty good. Similar to Aromatic Future from Zara, as far as quality and profile goes. Maybe slightly better performance than the Zara clone.If it's cheap, and you're looking for a Sauvage clone, Kuro seems fairly capable.”
“Definitely inspired from Dior Sauvage but its not a 100% close clone.Its 85% similar and is on the sweeter and woodier side, a little bit more aromatic and less metallic than Sauvage. Personally I like Sauvage better but this doesn't mean Kuro is a bad fragrance.A good Sauvage dupe for a great price. Longevity is decent at 6 - 5 hours with medium projection. Do not overspray you it will get cloying.”
