Roman Optus VII captures the spicy-woody character of Opus VII quite effectively, maintaining the prominent oud and incense heart with similar bergamot brightness in the opening. However, the clone tends to show slightly less complexity in the mid-notes, with the rose taking a backseat compared to the original's more balanced floral-woody interplay.
The clone exhibits slightly shorter longevity (5-6 hours vs 7-8 hours for the original) and a marginally softer sillage, with a more straightforward progression that lacks some of the original's nuanced spice and aromatic depth in the drydown.
