Sillage
The clone slightly underrepresents the full floral bouquet (missing lily-of-the-valley and peony prominence) and may have slightly less impressive longevity and sillage compared to the original. Fragrance World's interpretation is a competent tribute but doesn't fully capture the sophistication of the designer's original formulation.

Sillage
The clone presents a more linear, less nuanced floral profile with reduced longevity and sillage compared to the original. Rebal Man also lacks some of the softer, more powdery floral facets that give 212 its distinctive sophisticated character.

Sillage
The clone maintains excellent note accuracy but shows slightly less longevity and sillage than the original. Error 418 may feel somewhat lighter in body, with the musk and sandalwood base sitting back slightly further than in the genuine 212.
