The clone softens the saffron-spice introduction and amplifies amber sweetness, resulting in a less complex but more linear scent experience. Performance metrics (longevity and sillage) are generally 10-15% below the original Montale formulation.

Sillage
Al Haramain's version leans slightly sweeter and less animalic than the original, with reduced emphasis on the earthy and leather aspects. The overall composition feels more linear and less complex, lacking some of Montale's signature metallic-woody sophistication.

Sillage
The clone pushes oud forward more aggressively, potentially at the expense of the delicate saffron and ebony wood interplay found in the original. Longevity appears similar, but the original's sillage is reportedly more refined and less synthetic-smelling in the mid-performance stage.
