Afkaar trades some of the original's crisp top-note brightness for a marginally softer presentation, and the base develops with slightly more warmth and density. Longevity and sillage are reasonably close, though Instant Crush maintains a marginally cleaner projection.

Sillage
The clone matches the scent profile closely but exhibits slightly reduced longevity and sillage compared to the original Mancera. Al Haramain's version projects a touch warmer and creamier in the base, whereas Instant Crush maintains a more delicate, skin-scent quality in its later stages.

Sillage
The clone's base is noticeably warmer and more amber-forward, reducing some of the woody elegance of the original. Longevity appears slightly shorter on Celestia Viola with marginally reduced sillage in the mid-performance window.

Sillage
The clone performs adequately in the first 4-5 hours but drops off noticeably faster than the original, and the heart notes lack the delicate complexity found in Mancera's version. Sillage is also slightly softer with the clone, making it less projective throughout the day.

The clone offers comparable longevity but with a lighter base projection; the peony note in Royal Sapphire reads slightly more prominent while the original's musk and amber create a more sophisticated, lingering finish.

Sillage
The clone's base is noticeably warmer and muskier compared to the original's woody-amber foundation, resulting in less longevity and a more linear scent development. Sillage is comparable, but the overall complexity and refinement of the original's composition is diminished in this interpretation.
