Go Green

Scent Breakdown

Go Green opens with a sharp green apple and bergamot accord. The citrus is bright, albeit with a slightly artificial edge compared to Greenley. Mandarin provides a subtle sweetness, fighting against the initial sharpness. The heart introduces petitgrain's characteristic bitterness and cedarwood's dryness. Cashmeran adds a soft, fuzzy texture but it's less pronounced than in the original. Oakmoss emerges in the drydown, blended with musk and amberwood. This base is where the clone deviates most, lacking the refined depth of Greenley's oakmoss. Overall, it captures approximately 81% of Greenley's essence but misses some of the smoother nuances and sophisticated blending.

Projection Power

Longevity is moderate. On skin, expect around 5-6 hours. Projection is decent for the first hour, creating a noticeable scent bubble. Then it settles closer to the skin. It's definitely an "arms-length" fragrance, not a room filler.

Bottom Line

Go Green is a respectable clone, capturing the essence of Greenley . If you appreciate the green apple and woody aromatic profile but are hesitant to pay for the Marly, this is a solid option. However, those seeking the complete, refined experience will still find value in the original. Consider this a worthy alternative for casual, everyday wear. The original is demonstrably better, but is it 10x better? Probably not.
