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.
