Ekhtiari captures the bright, floral-forward character of L'Idole L'Intense with impressive accuracy in the top and heart notes. The clone delivers comparable jasmine prominence and sweet vanilla base, though with slightly less refined projection and a marginally shorter longevity profile than the original.
The clone uses cedarwood instead of sandalwood in the base, resulting in a slightly woodier dry-down with less creamy warmth. Ekhtiari also shows reduced sillage and longevity, lasting approximately 6-7 hours compared to the original's 8+ hour performance.
