Aromatic Star Anise (inspired by Dior's Sauvage) rewrites a very classical masculine fragrance structure named "fougere" (a blend of citrus notes, lavender, geranium, and patchouli). Paired with highly qualitative raw materials and a touch of fantasy thanks to star anise, this scent delights the senses in a whole new way.
Outdoorsy and fresh, Aromatic Star Anise (our impression of Dior's Sauvage) expresses strong, unmistakable masculinity.

Aromatic Star Anise
A World-Renowned Fragrance
Aromatic Star Anise from Dossier pays tribute to one of the most recognizable scents in the world: Sauvage by Dior.
The luxury scent that Aromatic Star Anise is inspired by is the perfect fragrance for today's man. Inspired by the wild woods, this unique blend features delicious notes of pepper, Calabrian bergamot, and vetiver. It's a combination effortlessly masculine yet sensual, a rugged beauty that breathes life into the skin.
Christian Dior first introduced the fragrance to the world in 2015. Fast forward almost a decade, and the luxury scent that Aromatic Star Anise is inspired by is still one of the most popular men's fragrances ever created.
This luxury scent that Aromatic Star Anise is inspired by comes in several variants: Dior Sauvage Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, and more recently, the Sauvage Elixir. This perfume was created by the legendary François Demachy, a master fragrance craftsman.
The luxury fragrance that Aromatic Star Anise is inspired by has a distinct, fresh citrusy scent that is more masculine than most fragrances. This raw concoction opens with a wonderfully rich bergamot layer, topped with a subtle peppery note. This is then accompanied by a flowery chorus of amberwood, vetiver, patchouli for a powerful but smooth finish.
Far from musky, the fragrance evokes an unusual freshness infused with an invigorating morning mist. It's a scent reminiscent of wild woods --- unbridled yet strangely self-aware, addictive in every way.
The exuberant portrayal of masculinity in the luxury scent that Aromatic Star Anise is inspired by is refreshing and undoubtedly contributed significantly to its phenomenal reception at launch.
The fragrance has also been praised for its longevity. A few sprays can easily keep you fresh for more than 7 hours. In addition, the luxury scent that Aromatic Star Anise is inspired by quickly fills any room with elegance thanks to an excellent projection of up to 5 feet.
If you're searching for a fresh, citrusy fragrance, Aromatic Star Anise is an affordable offer that fits any budget .
Dossier's Aromatic Star Anise is more sophisticated and richer than anything else available in the market. Designed based on the traditional French fragrance formula "fougere", which consists of a citrus scent with lavender, geranium, and patchouli notes, our take on this popular eau de toilette seduces all kinds of customers, with zero compromises on scent.
Aromatic Star Anise radiates a fresh, spicy flavor. Aside from the citrus note, you also get a delicious blend of juicy Calabrian bergamot, mandarin notes, and spiced star anise.

It smelt really good. Really similar to dior sauvage. I am not sure about how long it lasts, but its worth purchasing.

I’m eating the experience average because I really don’t like that all of the buttons are on the footnote of the website. The home button, on the homepage, I really don’t like that it should definitely be at the top. I ordered a 10 bottle discovery pack but I was really frustrated to find out after I ordered it, the discovery pack had Male, Female and unisex fragrances in it, I’m a male so obviously I wanted either unisex or men’s fragrances and so you should make discovery packages that have only men’s fragrances. Also, your basics do not smell very good so maybe just keep it to the delicious smelling knock offs
Was this helpful?DPDossier Perfumes8/13/24We hear you on the website layout, Yates; it’s definitely important to have everything easily accessible, and we’ll take your thoughts into consideration. We also get that creating discovery packs tailored to specific preferences, like all men’s fragrances, is a great idea, and we appreciate the suggestion. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!
