The Scoop
Royal Blend Vintage captures the essence of Old Fashioned's boozy, leather-forward profile reasonably well, with a solid whiskey and tobacco heart. However, the clone lacks the refined complexity and slightly smoky depth of the original, feeling somewhat more linear and less nuanced in the base where Kilian's version develops more sophistication.
Key Differences
The clone matches the overall scent family closely but with slightly less longevity (4-5 hours vs 6+ hours on original) and reduced sillage. The opening is nearly identical, but the original's mid-stage develops greater leather and smoke complexity that the clone doesn't fully replicate.
