Sillage
The clone performs adequately for the price point but with reduced sillage and shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs. 7-8 hours on the original). The incense and leather notes are slightly muted, making it less bold and commanding than NoMad.

Sillage
The Traveler lacks the sophisticated leather-incense intensity of the original, presenting a more accessible but less complex interpretation. Performance-wise, expect noticeably reduced longevity and sillage compared to NoMad.
