“Exact DNA of the original. I'm ensure why anyone would say they're totally different. They're not. They have that same honey base. But the original Scandal honey note is way way stronger. By night is softer, more wearable, and a bit creamier. I definitely prefer this one. The vanilla is more noticeable in the dry down , whereas in the original honey overtakes everything. I had a love hate relationship with the original. I wanted to like it, but I had to force myself. By Night brings the balance I was looking for.”
“I absolutely love this perfume, smells really sexy and quite sweet but not cloying at all. I could smell the honey mixed with the cherry. Very well blended would definitely recommend. The longevity and sillage is amazing also projection is 100%. It’s also a crowd pleasing fragrance I got a lot of compliments on it.”
“On first spray it's very similar to the original but the drydown is different. I actually find this easier to wear than the OG, which can be quite thick, sweet and heavy. By Night has a lighter more powdery drydown (maybe due to no beeswax note), and I much prefer it.”

Sillage
The clone matches the opening and floral heart well but shows noticeably shorter longevity (5-6 hours vs 8+ on the original) and slightly less refined sillage. The vanilla-musk base feels somewhat generic compared to the original's balanced amber-sandalwood foundation.

Sillage
The clone's longevity is noticeably shorter (6-8 hours vs. 10+ hours for the original), and the base transitions lack the subtle complexity of the designer version. Sillage is also moderately reduced, projecting closer to skin rather than the original's more generous cloud effect.
