Highness Green captures the bright citrus opening and woody-green character of Royal Oud quite effectively, with comparable bergamot and pepper top notes. The heart notes are reasonably close, though Afnan's interpretation tends to emphasize the oud more prominently in the mid-development, whereas Creed's version balances it with more subtle herbal complexity. Base longevity is respectable but typically doesn't match Creed's exceptional sillage and projection.
Highness Green leans more oud-forward in the heart, whereas Royal Oud maintains a greener, more delicate herbal character. Longevity and projection are moderately weaker in the clone, with the scent fading noticeably faster than the original.
