The opening is quite different from the original, it's missing the citrus freshness. The dry down however is 90% the same, enough that unless you have them side by side you could not tell.

Absolutely stunning!.... Wonderful ginger note and the Mandarin is so fresh and clean.......The coumarin adds a certain vanillic freshness to. the composition...Herbally dry lavender, unlike anything I have smelt before......One of the best Fougeres I have ever smelt.

Great fragrance. Extremely close to the original TF. PP’s version is a bit superior in my opinion.

Average
I have not smelt the OG, but, the scent is average. There is something in it that makes it slightly unpleasant.
It is easy to wear, but polarising. As mentioned, could not comment on how close it is.

Option Review:50ml Spray
Unfortunately for it does miss the nuances of the original which make it as good as it is. The herbaceous quality is a bit too dominant and quite smokey, whilst the smooth creamy facets are left wanting. So I would ‘t say it’s a like for like fragrance. However, projection/ performance is quite good.
Hopefully PP revisit this one as it does need some tweaking

My preferred fragrance lately...
I never smelt the original from Penhaligon's, but I smelt other alternative from other fragrances oils companies. I like Perfume Parlour proposal. It smells smoky and a bit sweet for some hours, I like the smell a lot. It tends to turn on the sweet side after some hours, but the smell is still good.

Just perfect
I find it better than the original because the PP is directly in the bottom of the perfume with a 90% similarity (I own the original)

Absolutely Amazing
I discovered the original scent (Kilian Smoking Hot) in a large dept. store and instantly fell in love with it. I've been waiting for PP to release this and they have hit the nail bang on the head with this one. It is identical to the original. Smells amazing and lasts for ages. I can still smell it on my clothes the next day. Only a very small amount needed for maximum effects. I'm using the 60ml Extrait. 10/10 PP.

A sweet hybrid
This is lovely and sweet, quite juicy as well. To my nose it's like a hybrid of Instant Crush and Erba Pura. It's just seems to work without leaning too feminine. This is now my 24th or 25th extrait bottle from P.P. I just wish the delivery was quicker.
