Loyal Agar captures the bright citrus opening and creamy iris heart of Kalan quite effectively, with comparable grapefruit and black pepper prominence in the top notes. However, the base differs slightly—the oud tends to be more prominent and linear in the clone, while the original's ambroxan creates a softer, more diffusive dry-down. Longevity and sillage are generally comparable, though the original maintains better separation between its fragrance layers.
The clone emphasizes oud more heavily in the base at the expense of the original's delicate musk and ambroxan balance, resulting in a slightly harsher and less refined finish. Longevity is similar, but the original offers better development and complexity throughout its wear.
