I have a collection of clones, designers, and niche. I find the performance can vary with clones just as much as it can with any other fragrance. Some last and perform, others don't. Just like designers and niche. I don't have anything in my collection that only last 2 hours. Remember, going noseblind is a real thing. With that being said...I have two from Fragrance World. Hard Wood and Jack of Clubs. Both last 8+ hours and are above average in terms of projection and sillage. Both better then the originals I would say.
