“I like the scent, it's somewhat nostalgic for me and isn't the typical fresh spicy woody scent that's around. You can tell they use good naturals in this fragrance. My biggest gripe and why it's not a love for me is its performance. On my skin I get around 4 hours total longevity, first hour of mild projection, 2-3 hours of intimate scent bubble, and last hour of faint skin scent. That's pretty poor, especially for this price range. I like Tom Ford, it's easily becoming one of my favorite houses, and I would love if this performed better but what can you do.”
“smells like my absolute favorite trader joe’s tangerine kefir water, with strong underlying notes of ginger and hearty woodsy notes. very fresh and citrusy zingy opening, and more woodsy and spicy on the dry down. beautiful unisex fragrance, just a little too pricey though.”
“Got the parfum a few years ago. Wanted a backup. Heard this was similar. Why wouldn't it be, right? It is. A little more citrus up top. Both are epic mens masculine summer fragrances. These aren't teen summer freshies. They are mens summer colognes. A wealthy smelling man on a white boat with a bright yellow sun gleaming down on him, from a sky with no clouds in sight.”

The clone misses several supporting notes (celery seeds, cardamom, olibanum) that add depth to the original, resulting in a less textured composition. Longevity and sillage are typically 1-2 hours shorter than the designer version.

Sillage
Dua's version is slightly brighter and less incense-forward than the original, with a more linear progression that doesn't develop the same woody-aromatic richness in the dry down. Longevity is comparable, but the original exhibits superior projection and a more intricate spice-incense balance.

Sillage
The clone trades some of the original's subtle spice complexity and nuanced incense layering for a slightly more straightforward woody-musky base, with marginally shorter longevity. Sillage is comparable, but the aromatic freshness may fade slightly faster in the heart stage.
