What wearers say
“I own this fragrance and let’s just say it is a nice apple one but this stuff is way to overpriced. It is a good summer scent no doubt about that and has a bit of a character in my opinion but come on, 300 dollars for this is way to much. I’d rank this as the third or fourth best parfums de Marly. Parfums de Marly are better at winter fragrances so get something like Layton for winter, that stuff has a character and stands out and smells amazing. Go for something else and cheaper for the summer if you are on a budget. Because this is not it.”
“I really like the opening of this, green apple, piney, and grassy. But the dry down for some reason smells loaded with amberwood. Almost smells like BR540 which is crazy to me. Synthetic and sweet and still a bit green is what I get in the dry down. Really wanted to like this but I can’t get over the dry down.”
“Sharp opening, woody (almost herbal) & sweet dry down, green cedar dominant, medium longevity and sillage. All season quick grab. This by any means is NOT "Versatile" it's actually one of the most masculine fragrances I have came across. Price point is kinda insane for the scent profile. But it is still one of the best green fragrances out there.”

The clone's heart notes lack the refined complexity of the original's violet leaf-iris interplay, resulting in a less nuanced mid-development. Additionally, Greenley exhibits noticeably better performance metrics in terms of longevity and sillage compared to On The Green's more modest 4-5 hour wear time.

Midori's longevity is moderately shorter (5-6 hours vs 7-8 hours), and the violet leaf note is less prominent in the heart, making it slightly more one-dimensional. The sillage is also marginally softer compared to Greenley's more pronounced projection.

Sillage
Aether Extrait's heart notes are more generically green rather than the distinctive iris-violet elegance of the original, and longevity is noticeably shorter (4-5 hours vs 7-8 hours). The sillage is also more moderate, making it a softer, less complex interpretation of Greenley's refined fresh woody profile.

The clone replaces Greenley's signature galbanum and violet leaf greenness with oud and amber warmth, resulting in a completely different olfactory character. Longevity and sillage also differ considerably, with the clone performing more like a traditional oriental rather than a fresh aromatic.

Sillage
The clone performs well on projection and initial scent similarity but shows reduced longevity and base development compared to Greenley's more sophisticated dry-down. The citrus-to-iris transition is more abrupt in the clone due to slightly different concentration ratios.
