05 Domino Essence captures the classic aldehydic floral structure of No 5 quite competently, with a bright citrus opening and creamy floral heart. However, the clone feels slightly thinner in the base, with less projection and complexity compared to the original's rich, lingering finish.
The clone mirrors the fragrance pyramid closely but lacks the depth and longevity of the original; expect slightly shorter sillage and a more linear development through the dry-down phase.
