    BEST COMPANY EVER

    Haven’t gotten it yet, really don't have the money but I seriously I already love the Aromatic Star Anise regular — it smells so clean, warm, and comforting. I can only imagine how incredible the Elixir version must be, lasting longer and smelling even richer.

    Dossier truly does such an amazing job — the quality, the scents, and the fact that they make luxury fragrances actually affordable is something I really appreciate. You can tell they care about making people feel good without having to spend hundreds.

    If I ever got the chance to receive a bottle of the Aromatic Star Anise Elixir, I’d be beyond thankful. I wouldn’t take it for granted at all — it’d honestly mean so much to me. You guys are the best! 😊

    Very similar to the inspired version.

    I have the Dior Sauvage elixir and I bought this spicy star Anise from Dossier, they both smell about 98% similar and I’ve been wanting to buy it again but It’s always sold out, 5 stars

    Best cologne I’ve gotten so far

    I buy the name brand version of this for $200-300+ and they nailed it will this one. It’s spot on. I’ve bought one bottle from the site to try it and it’s been sold out ever since! Restock this!!
