What it smells like: Calabrian bergamot and Sichuan pepper on opening. Smoky lavender and ambroxan through the dry-down. Heavy projection early, close to skin by mid-morning.
green, peppery. The first thirty minutes on skin.

warm, skin-close. Six to eight hours after the last spray.
For comparison, the official Dior Sauvage note structure.
Opening accord of Dior Sauvage, as composed by Dior.
The middle accord that carries the wearer through the day.
The dry-down. Wild follows the same architecture at 22–30% oil concentration vs 10-12% (EDT).
More oil, more scent. Longer wear, stronger projection. Wild sits at the upper end of EDP-grade, overlapping with Extrait.
Designer Eau de Toilette typically contains 5–12% fragrance oil. Designer Eau de Parfum contains 15–20%. Extrait sits at 20–30%. Wild is formulated at 22 to 30 percent oil concentration, the upper end of the EDP range, overlapping with Extrait. Higher oil concentration means longer wear, stronger projection, and a fuller scent profile. Dior Sauvage at 10-12% (EDT) is more dilute than Wild.
Wild is developed by perfumers who have composed scents for houses you already own. Same training. Same suppliers in Grasse, France. Same note structure as the £130 original, at 22–30% oil concentration (EDP grade). We cut the theatre, not the oil.

"We cut the celebrity endorsement, the department store concession, and the brand licence. The difference goes back into the formula."
Katie Johnson, Founder · The Fragrance WorldDesigner brands charge £300 or more for a 100ml bottle. The perfume itself costs three to five pounds to make. The rest is theatre: a campaign, a celebrity, a licensing fee, a retail margin, a bottle heavy enough to feel expensive in the hand.
It is simply how the industry has worked for forty years. What has changed is the assumption that you, the buyer, don’t know.
We started The Fragrance World in Liverpool to make one without the designer tax. One bottle. Thirty pounds. No apology, no compromise.
I have never tried inspired fragrances before but my wife had been buying some so I thought I would give it a try. Sauvage is my go-to scent so I bought Wild. It is identical. I will 100% purchase more.
I have tried many copy fragrances, mostly disappointing, but this is fabulous. A long-lasting fragrance so close to the original I cannot distinguish between Wild and the real thing. Going to try the 3 x 100ml offer soon.
Third bottle of Wild. Smells so similar to the real thing, you do not need a lot and it lasts.
A 5ml atomiser. Enough for a full week of wear so you can decide on skin, not from a description. Worst case: out £4.95 and a week.
Add 5ml tester · £4.95 →The designer spent £10 million on a billboard. We spent it on the ingredients.
Wild is The Fragrance World's Dior Sauvage alternative — an Eau de Parfum formulated at 22–30% oil concentration (EDP grade) vs Dior Sauvage's 10-12% (EDT). £29.95 for 50ml vs £130. Made in Liverpool, UK. Vegan and cruelty-free. Not affiliated with Dior; referenced here under honest comparative advertising, protected by the UK Trade Marks Act 1994 s.11(2)(b).
We name Dior Sauvage on this page on purpose.
Wild is not Dior Sauvage. Dior Sauvage is a registered trademark of Dior; we are not affiliated with or endorsed by them.
We reference it because that is honestly the fragrance our buyers came from, and most of them did not go back.
