Not a carbon-copy: it's lacking the vanilla base of the original. However, this is a very nice perfume oil, by its own. The dominant smell is burning birch. It's birch-tarry and like camp fire, but not in a dirty leather style and certainly not in an oudh style. As duplicate I'd give this oil 3/5 stars but I just have to raise it to 4/5 because it's so nice by its own way.
