The response to Question 4 showed the depth of thought within this brotherhood. We don’t just wear fragrance — we study it. We evaluate it. We challenge it. And most importantly, we respect the craft behind it. Now we step into deeper territory. Tonight’s question moves beyond scent profile, beyond projection, beyond longevity. This one touches principle. As we continue this Level 8 study toward Level 9, we have to wrestle with the harder conversations — originality, execution, loyalty, ethics, value. If a clone performs better than the original… does that change the ethical equation? There’s no simple answer — and that’s exactly why this discussion matters. Take a moment to reflect before you vote.Your voice adds weight to the study.Your perspective sharpens the brotherhood. This is how we grow. Thank you, brothers. 🔥
