While the top and heart notes align well with the original, Tour de Havana shows reduced longevity and a less prominent mineral quality. The base lacks the subtle complexity and lasting power of the designer version, making it a competent but softer interpretation overall.

Sillage
The original has more nuanced citrus complexity and a distinctive salty mineral character, while the clone relies on a more straightforward citrus-woody progression. Longevity and sillage are comparable, but Terre d'Hermes maintains better projection and evolves more gracefully over time.

Eternia Man is approximately 80-85% accurate to the original but edges slightly sharper on citrus and misses some of Terre d'Hermes' distinctive mineral-flint nuance. Longevity is comparable (6-8 hours), making it a solid budget alternative despite being slightly less sophisticated overall.
