Woody Sage vs Bal d'Afrique

Dossier's Woody Sage is widely praised as one of the best Jo Malone Wood Sage & Sea Salt dupes available, offering superior longevity and projection at a fraction of the price. While some find it slightly soapy or sharper than the original and note it has moderate longevity for a fragrance, the community consensus is highly positive, especially for those seeking an affordable, comparable alternative.

Bal d'Afrique is widely praised for its beautiful, unique scent profile with fresh citrus and creamy sweetness, making it an excellent signature fragrance for warm weather. However, the community consensus is tempered by significant concerns about poor longevity and weak projection, which many feel don't justify its premium price, recommending samples before purchase.
