They're like 90% of the scent. If you want to argue about quality, no amount of quality will make up for a dry boring personality, bad looks or bad hygiene.
I love clones and get compliments all the time. My most successful was with people thinking im wearing AdG where I was actually wearing perry ellis red.
While some clones can be "better" than the originals (ones like Creed barely last, so the clones tend to be recommended more), there are lots of issues with them. They may smell 90% similar to most, which might be all that matters, but you can definitely tell the different in quality (better chemicals, longer lasting, more sillage, better smell/better blending) with a lot of the name brand stuff. Not all, but with a lot of it. People running around wearing Club De Nuit saying it's Creed? You can immediately tell the difference, but most people probably don't care. All of the people on Tiktok saying it's a 99% clone are kids trying to pass off something as an exact dupe to get that affiliate and views money. Same goes for the people running around saying their dupe is the real thing. You should have to let it sit in the closet for 6 months to smell "just like the original"
You have to smell it all day, if you can afford it, I generally (not always) recommend the original. Plus you have no ideas what types of ingredients are making up the clones.

The difference between a creed and Club de nuit is that creed is typically a deeper scent that last longer (likely due to the reason stated above) but at that point you are talking about a scent lasting 6 hours vs lasting 8 hours. If you are in a social outing, 4 hours is plenty.
If you stick to quality dupes like the armaf, maison alhambra or even missoni, they are all pretty much denatured alcohol and essential oils. Nothing really shady about that unless you are allergic to those ingredients.
Just saying, its hard to justify the price tag for creed or many of these brand names.
