What Is Armaf Ventana a Dupe Of?

What is Armaf Ventana a clone of?

Armaf Ventana is a clone of Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette. Fresh citrus, lavender, geranium and woods give you the connection. It's the original Sauvage EDT we're comparing here, with its bergamot, pepper and ambroxan profile.

We rate the similarity at 88%. Ventana itself is an Eau de Parfum, but the Dior reference for that score is the EDT. The concentration printed on a clone's bottle doesn't have to match the concentration of the fragrance it resembles.

What connects the two?

Ventana lists bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin, lemon and red fruit at the top. Geranium, lavender, patchouli and vetiver make up the middle. Cedar, precious woods, labdanum and amber sit in the base.

Sauvage EDT starts with Calabrian bergamot and pepper, then names Sichuan pepper, lavender, pink pepper, vetiver, patchouli, geranium and elemi. Ambroxan, cedar and labdanum round it out. There are plenty of shared notes, particularly through the aromatic middle and woody base.

Where should you look for differences?

We'd start with the opening. Ventana names several fruits around its citrus, while Sauvage puts pepper beside the bergamot. If that peppery bite is your favorite part of the Dior, compare it directly rather than judging the whole pairing from the first familiar citrus impression.

Then let both samples settle. Sauvage specifically names ambroxan, while Ventana's base is described with amber and woods. Those descriptions give you something to look for, but they don't tell you exactly how much of each part you'll notice or how long either fragrance will last.

Which Ventana should you choose?
