Sillage
Armaf's version has slightly shorter longevity and less refined rose character, while the guaiac wood presence is somewhat diluted in favor of cedar. The overall composition is warmer and less nuanced than the original's sophisticated oud-rose interplay.

Sillage
Arabian Oud's version shifts the balance away from the balanced rose-oud duality toward a more oud-dominant woody profile. The missing saffron and cinnamon spice accords significantly alter the fragrance's character, making it feel less refined and layered than the original.

Sillage
Rose Wood simplifies the composition with a more prominent cedarwood-forward dry down compared to the original's agarwood dominance. The clone lacks the litchi brightness and tincture richness, resulting in a more straightforward woody floral rather than the oriental complexity of the original.
