Sillage
The clone delivers shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs Creed's 6-8 hours) and presents a more linear woody progression with less nuanced herbal-galbanum development. Sillage is also moderately reduced compared to the original's stronger performance.

Sillage
The oud accord in the clone is more straightforward and linear compared to Creed's more sophisticated agarwood treatment. Longevity is comparable but the original has better performance after 4+ hours.

Sillage
Rose Oud adds a floral rose accord that softens the original's angular green profile, shifting the overall character from aromatic-woody to floral-woody. While base notes align closely, the heart note composition creates a distinctly different wearing experience that favors sweetness over refinement.

Sillage
The clone exhibits more pronounced synthetic oud sweetness and lacks some of the original's sophisticated spice nuance and bergamot brightness. Creed's version demonstrates superior blending sophistication and a creamier sandalwood base.

Sillage
The clone pushes oud forward more aggressively, creating a darker, more linear scent compared to Royal Oud's complex herbal-citrus interplay. Longevity and sillage are generally good but lack the refined projection curve of the original.
