Makkah captures the sweet, almond-forward character and prominent strawberry accord of Mukhallat reasonably well, with similar vanilla-musk base development. However, the clone tends to soften the balsamic complexity and can feel slightly less refined in the mid-stage, with a touch more synthetic sweetness replacing some of the original's gourmand elegance.
The clone maintains comparable longevity but lacks the subtle Peru balsam depth that gives the original its distinctive character; Makkah leans more toward linear strawberry-vanilla sweetness rather than the original's balanced gourmand complexity.
