Which is louder?
Ombré Leather (2018) 62Amber & Leather 55Both barely reach the person on the next rail, Ombré Leather just a step farther — a step's difference, not a gulf.

Tom Ford sells a niche gesture, Maison Alhambra the same gesture without the storefront; on smell the label is barely audible, on presence it's plain.
Ombré Leather is searched more — the original holds the attention, the clone lives off its name, not its own.
