Open on Reddit comment (opens in a new tab)Modest une smells close yes, but og sauvage has such an electrifying punch and smoothness to it, punches way above its price.

Open on Reddit comment (opens in a new tab)Yes, these clones have a similar scent profile, but they don’t feel as high-quality as the OG.

Open on Reddit comment (opens in a new tab)Went for dinner, did 4 sprays and couldn’t eat because Modest Une choked me to death lol. Tried sauvage at a Sephora and to me, both lasted equally long.
