Sillage
The clone matches the top and middle notes reasonably but falls short in base longevity and quality; the original's sandalwood is creamier and more complex, while Promise Exclusif's projection tapers faster after 4-5 hours.

Sillage
The clone has slightly shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-8 hours) and reduced sillage compared to the original. The iris and violet notes are less nuanced, resulting in a more straightforward, less sophisticated presentation overall.

Sillage
The Dua clone slightly underperforms in longevity and lacks the subtle aromatic sophistication of the designer version, particularly in how the geranium-iris accord evolves. The base notes in the clone read as more linear and less sophisticated, missing some of the original's delicate musk and vetiver interplay.
