To my nose, this smells just slightly sweeter than the original fragrance. However, it smells amazing and is overall a pretty close representation. I have been impressed with Zoha's oils so far, because the smell very complex and... not oily. This is one that really stood out to me as being exceptionally sophisticated compared to what I thought oils could achieve. In fact, I find it lasts a little longer on my skin that the original does. That being said, the sillage is not as good as the original. For the cost though, if you like La Nuit De L'Homme, you will certainly enjoy this.
