Sillage
The clone's base is noticeably sweeter and muskier, with less oud depth and a shorter longevity overall. Sillage is also more moderate, and the spice-to-wood ratio favors sweetness over the original's elegant patchouli-oud interplay.

Sillage
The clone trades Guerlain's prominent oud and sandalwood finish for a softer cedar-based drydown, resulting in less longevity and a more linear scent progression. Sillage is noticeably reduced, projecting closer to the skin with less sophisticated base development.
