What wearers say

“The opening is nice with mineral notes mixed with violet leaf. Violet leaf comes to life more on dry down, very clean and fresh…similar and redundant to invictus. Vetiver is in the background adding depth.Not as sweet as invictus in opening, but certainly similar in dry down.Nice but redundant for me.”

“All around great scent, a bit on the younger side but I roll with it.I never noticed how similar it is to the Invictus DNA, but yeah it's got some similarities.Works great as an everyday scent for me, performance is actually really good for an EDT.6+ hours longevity, around 1 meter of scent bubble, works great on hot summer days and in the office.If you don't mind smelling like a 16-19 year old - go for it, but I've kind of out grown it, as of today I find myself enjoying Uomo 2021, Extradose and Green Stravaganza more than the OG BIR.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“This is okay, could not pick up one note even after looking at the notes of this fragrance, but some guy in reviews said it smells like watermelon toothpaste and I completely see that, its wearable, but definitely youthful compared to other fragrances, its very sweet.Longevity is pretty average for a summer fragrance.This fragrance is eh.”

Sillage

The clone has slightly stronger mineral and spice undertones compared to the original's softer pepper notes, and exhibits noticeably shorter longevity and sillage. The mid-stage development also feels less smooth, with a more abrupt transition between the citrus and woody phases.

Sillage

The clone performs well in the top and heart phases but noticeably drops in projection and longevity in the dry-down, lasting roughly 4-5 hours versus the designer's 6-8 hours. The vetiver and cedarwood in the base feel more generic and less sophisticated than Valentino's more nuanced woody-amber accord.

Sillage

Jasoor projects slightly softer in the first hour and trades some of Born in Roma's delicate citrus nuance for a more direct amber-cardamom approach. The performance is solid but slightly shorter-lived than the original, though the warmer DNA makes it potentially more versatile for fall and winter wear.

Sillage

The clone performs with slightly less projection and sillage than the original, with a faster fade of the middle notes that makes it feel more linear and less nuanced. The leather accord is more prominent and less refined compared to Born in Roma's balanced composition, giving it a sportier, fresher personality overall.

The clone delivers 85-90% of the original's performance with a nearly identical scent profile, though longevity may fall short by 1-2 hours. Sillage is generally softer, making it a more intimate fragrance experience compared to the designer's robust projection.

Sillage

The clone delivers strong initial citrus projection similar to the original but may lack the subtle nuance and longevity of the designer's balanced ambroxan base. Sillage is comparable, though the original maintains a slightly more cohesive scent development through the mid and dry phases.
