Sillage
The clone has slightly shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours) and less sillage, with a more linear progression that doesn't evolve as gracefully as the original. The iris and jasmine notes are less delicate, giving Imperial Gold a slightly soapier character.

Sillage
The most significant difference is the watermelon accord replacing grapefruit in the opening, which fundamentally alters the fragrance's personality from sophisticated citrus to a sweeter, fruitier composition. Longevity and sillage likely differ as well, with the clone potentially offering less refined projection compared to Creed's premium formula.
