“I have been using it since 2014. Longevity is really poor. Max 2 hours. After 2 hours someone should be close enough to your neck to smell it. Silliage ls arm length.Smell ls perfect but I didnt get much compliment. People barely notices lt, maybe because of poor longevity. Or maybe it smells like a unisex parfume.In short, smell ls great but longevity ls really poor and don't expect much compliment from women.”
“I had the original 2007 version. Then I got an 0Z01, ie. 2010 version. It's still potent, but to be honest. I still have it today. Maybe 10% left. It's 11 years old. 50ml. Can't say I'm too fond of it. I might sound strange since I really liked the 2007 original. I have tried the 2010 version many times, but each time I found I really didn't like it. I mean, it does SMELL like a quality smell and it DOES last long etc. But maybe I just changed. It's not really for me any more. So I suppose the remaining 10 percent of my 50 ml will likely last another decade.”
“Yessss.today I bought it 8U01 2008 batch for about 70$ yes its potent but in compare with 2011 has less vanilla more powdery.I own 2015 batch .2008 is more similar to current version than the 2011.I havent opened it yet to judge anout performance.I will update my review soon.”

RiiFFS's version delivers comparable scent profile but with reduced sillage and projection; the iris feels slightly more synthetic and less nuanced than Dior's original formulation. Longevity is the most significant gap, making it better suited for office wear or reapplication throughout the day.

The clone typically has slightly better performance and projection in the opening but may lack the elegant restraint and nuanced geranium character of the original. The drydown is very similar, though Dior's version maintains a more refined, polished feel throughout the wear.

The clone has marginally shorter longevity (5-6 hours vs 8+ hours) and slightly less refined projection. The opening is more aggressively citric, and the amber sweetness dominates earlier in the development compared to the original's more gradual transition.

The clone projects with slightly less intensity and longevity than the original, lasting approximately 6-7 hours versus Dior's 8+ hours. The iris note feels marginally sharper and less refined, lacking some of the sophisticated animalic depth that defines the authentic fragrance's mid-development.

The clone presents a more linear progression with less complexity in the heart notes, where the original's subtle florals create greater depth. Projection is comparable, but Emir's basenotes feel slightly warmer and less nuanced in their spice-to-wood ratio.

The clone performs well in the mid-stage but shows reduced longevity (roughly 4-5 hours versus 6-7 hours for the original) and slightly less sillage. The base notes feel more generic vanilla-driven rather than the complex woody-amber balance of the designer version.

The clone lacks the refined floral nuance and citrus brightness of the original, with a somewhat flatter mid-stage development. Sillage and longevity are notably inferior, making this a passable dupe for casual wear but not a true like-for-like replacement.
