The Scoop
I Am The King captures the fresh citrus and spicy opening of Sauvage reasonably well, with a similar bergamot-forward profile and pepper accents. However, the heart lacks the complexity of the original's geranium and spice interplay, feeling slightly more linear and less refined throughout the development.
Key Differences
The clone delivers solid longevity but with less projection than Sauvage; the lavender-pepper transition is less nuanced, and the base feels slightly less sophisticated with a more generic woody finish rather than the distinctive ambroxan warmth of the original.

What wearers say
“This is actually GREAT!! If you are familiar with the older batches of the OG Sauvage EDT then you will love this. It has the OG Sichuan peppery kick that today’s batches of Sauvage EDT truly lack. Recent batches are a shadow of what the OG was. I Am The King smells 95% like the older Sauvage EDT, lasts 6/7 hours, and has good quality. At $17 to $20 per bottle it’s a no brainer to give it a try.”
“This comes closer to Sauvage EDT than the EDP in the opening. It’s sharper and more citrusy. Dry down leans towards a diluted EDP. Performance wise it loses out slightly to Sauvage but at this affordable price, I can overspray everyday.”
“Great Sauvage clone. I had Ventana and Ajmal Kuro but this Is more rounded and not screeachy at all. Beautifull woodsy drydown. Lasts about 7 hours with hour and a half of projection.”
