“First time i sniffed it, i was a bit not ready for this. then i tried it again after few years and it was instant love. Imho it is wearable all seasons, day/night. Rose and Patchouli are beautifuly mixed together. Leather and Musk add depth to it. It has great sillage and longevity.”
“I really enjoy wearing this. I smell a lot of patchouli and sillage in warmer settings is above average with good longevity. Noticed that some folks smell this while others go nose blind very quickly. Shukran Habibi!”
“This is strong! Wow I tested it in the Guerlain shop. It smells divine yet it is really quite concentrated. A nice patchouli with some quality rose and musk. It is so smooth and can easily fill the space. I had it sprayed on my clothing and I can still smell it clearly on my clothings the next day. Very good concentration but I would have actually expected something more complex than the current version at this price. Strong like for me, but probably not bottle worthy.”

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.
