Sillage

The clone delivers 85-90% of the original's projection and longevity but lacks some of the sophisticated woody complexity in the dry-down. Black Onyx leans slightly sweeter due to a more prominent tonka bean presence, whereas the original maintains better spice-wood balance throughout its development.
