Sillage
The clone has slightly weaker sillage and longevity (typically 4-5 hours versus 6-7 on the original). French Avenue's version is cleaner and more linear, lacking some of the nuanced tea and woody depth found in Le Labo's version.

Sillage
Dua's version tends to emphasize the top and heart notes more prominently, with slightly reduced longevity in the base compared to Le Labo's original. The sillage is generally comparable, though the original maintains better depth throughout the fragrance's evolution.
