Smells pretty similar but in the original you can smell the sweetness of the melon a lot more. Without the sweetness it has more of a stringent quality. It’s a pretty important thing to me because it makes the perfume a lot more feminine and it’s a what I personally really like about the OG. Though I’d say still about 80% similar in scent profile. And of course the longevity and projection is weaker. Would still definitely put it to good use for work and the gym but will definitely buy the OG for special occasions.
