The Artist No. 2 captures the fresh, elegant iris-forward character of Promise reasonably well, with similar citrus brightness and floral heart notes. However, the clone tends to feel slightly thinner in the mid-section and the base lacks the refinement and depth of the original's sandalwood-musk blend.
The clone has slightly shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours) and reduced sillage compared to the original. The iris and violet notes are less nuanced, resulting in a more straightforward, less sophisticated presentation overall.
