What wearers say

“The opening of the perfume is a lot like the Liberty from "Merchant of Venice". I feel it's a cheaper ripoff but as the drydown starts, it loses focus and goes elsewhere.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“firstly, the opening is top-notch and will inspire multiple re-sprays. (and please beware that after you read this next piece, you might not be able to un-smell what I'm about to describe is my impression of what follows.) secondly, the dry-down smells like burnt corn-on-the-cob. (don't say I didn't warn you!)”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This smells awesome. This reminds me of Wanted by Night. Only this is more woodsy and less sweet. Definitely worth trying out. I don’t agree that this smells like Interlude however. I believe interlude is much less sweeter and has the incense and oregano giving that fragrance a more balsamic type of smell.”

Sillage

Qaa'ed features a slightly sweeter base with vanilla notes versus the original's cleaner musk-amber foundation, and the sillage is moderately less projective. The oud accord is comparable in quality but presented with more roundness rather than the original's sharper incense-forward delivery.

Sillage

The original offers superior longevity (6-8 hours vs 4-5 hours) and a more cohesive, sophisticated dry-down. The clone's citrus opening is slightly sharper and the overall composition feels flatter, missing the nuanced interplay between ambroxan and cedarwood that defines the designer fragrance.
