I have never smelled the OG, nor even heard of the OG. I'm fairly new to perfume and my collection has sprouted significantly for the past 4 months. I can say that this fragrance is very well done and blended to perfection. The projection is moderate and the scent lasts on my for about 5-6 hours. I really like fruity scents. I wish the apricot was more noticeable, but overall this is a fragrance that I would repurchase if I were to run out. I do have other Heist fragrance that I would likely gravitate to first, however.
