âSmells ok. It kind of smells like an electric fire and a crack pipe. Metallic. Very high quality vanilla and oud though. Weird fragrance in the opening. Dry down is great. Too bad. Not something I would wear because I donât want to smell like an electric fire and crack pipe. I only know what that smells like because I found one outside when I was a kid. They say this smells like Tuscan leather which people say smells like âď¸ so I think that adds to the comparison. I havenât tried either but still know the smell unfortunately.â
âBold, dry, bitumen-type leather fragrance. Opening smells like roadworks with added steamroller smoke.Dry down is still bold but becomes slightly sweeter and warmer with the benzoin.Itâs dark, moody, and totally worth two sprays (no more) if youâre going to a death metal concert, or planning a satanic ritual in the front room.10/10.â
âVery very goodđŻ. Unlikey anything else I ever tried. Difficult to define but certainly a nice saffran and not as leathery but in a good way. Definitely worth the price given that it has a good longevity. Definitely masculine, in my view you can wear it all year around. Signature worthy.â

Sillage
Tawaaq's top notes lean slightly spicier and less delicate than the original's cardamom-driven opening. Longevity and sillage are typically lighter on the clone compared to Matiere Premiere's fuller performance, making it better suited for warmer weather wear.

Sillage
The clone pushes warmer oud/woody elements harder in the base, while the original maintains cleaner vetiver-cedarwood balance. Lattafa's interpretation feels marginally less nuanced in the iris-geranium interplay of the heart notes.

Sillage
The clone shows marginally shorter longevity (5-6 hours vs 7-8 hours on the original) and a softer sillage projection. The cedar note in the original provides a sharper, more refined woody character that the clone's sandalwood cannot fully replicate.
