“I'm not fan of the opening but on my skin the dry down is a mix of baby powder, honey, vanilla and incense. I like it during fall and winter. Projection and longevity are strong.”
“I really enjoy this in the opening and mid but I feel the dry down all I get is a vanilla with tiny bit of woodiness. I feel this SHOULD last on me for ages, the impression I get from the beginning is strong sweet-oud vanilla with spice but it’s over very quickly getting to the basic vanilla dry down and remaining that way for 4 hours until it’s gone.”
“This is a gorgeous scent, the spicy sweetness is perfection, but the oud is too animalic and fecal for my personal taste at this point in my fragrance journey. It is only present for the first hour or two, but the opening blast has me not reaching for this unless it is the dead of winter and I know I will be outside. The dry down is somewhat familiar. A Middle Eastern “Black Opium” type scent. Sweet and a little dark.”

Longevity
Moderate
Sillage
Longevity is comparable at 6-7 hours, but Miraj Exclusif projects more aggressively in the mid-range and lacks the subtle sweetness complexity of the original's amber. The clone also dries down heavier and less nuanced than Penhaligon's polished rendition.

Sillage
Miraj Exclusif has marginally less longevity (5-6 hours vs 7-8 hours for the original) and presents a sweeter, more straightforward floral profile with slightly reduced sillage. The original's bergamot brightness is more refined, while the clone leans toward a more candy-adjacent sweetness.
