Sillage
The clone has marginally shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6-7 hours on the designer) and slightly less sillage, with a softer base that lacks the designer's fuller amber-musk richness. Both share the same general scent profile but Valentino's version offers better quality and lasting power.

Sillage
The clone delivers 85-90% of the original's DNA but typically shows reduced sillage and slightly less tenacity on skin (4-6 hours vs 6-8 hours for the original). The peach note may read slightly sharper in the clone due to concentration differences.

Sillage
The clone's floral heart lacks the same creamy richness and presence of the designer version, and the transition to base notes feels less luxurious. Longevity and sillage are also moderately lower on the Dua, with a more restrained projection overall.
