Sillage
Raghba Wood Intense emphasizes woodiness more prominently than the original's balanced spice-wood composition, and typically offers shorter longevity (4-6 hours vs 6-8 hours for the designer). The original's creamy vanilla undertone is less developed in the clone, which feels more linear and less nuanced overall.

Sillage
Zara's version has softer smoke/tar notes and emphasizes ebony wood more prominently, making it less dark and introspective. Longevity and sillage are also noticeably reduced compared to the original's powerful performance.

Sillage
The original emphasizes warm spices and cedarwood for a cozy, intimate vibe, while the clone relies heavily on oud and incense for a more exotic, heavier impression. Longevity and sillage likely favor the clone's oud-based formula, but the olfactory direction is substantially different from the designer's vision.

Sillage
The clone performs similarly in longevity but may have slightly less sillage and projection compared to the original. Dua's version leans slightly warmer and more comfort-scent oriented, while By the Fireplace maintains a more sophisticated, woody balance.
