I'm glad I bought it and I'm not disappointed. I wear what I like and it's still masculine enough for me. Not for someone uncomfortable wearing something that leans quite a bit feminine. Not a ton of middle ground from a lot of the reviews.įor me it's a total winner as I enjoy these fragrance notes and in my opinion they all work together well here. I suspect that similar to the other high price frags, like Creed, you'll have people who are seduced by price tags into thinking it's absolutely wonderful or absolute crap. Two sprays on bare neck got me through an entire day. Slightly herbal, very floral, but not without its woody character.īeast in all phases of performance. If you smell it carefully though you can smell the deeper elements that are eventually revealed in the drydown. Initial blast is very floral powdery feminine. And as that special day turns to a special night, and Reflection Man's tinny florals soften into warmer woods (sandal, cedar, vetiver) and patchouli, you know your fragrance is taking care of you the whole way.įirst Amouage frag post-creed-fanboy phase.īlind Buy based on perfumer and note pyramid.

AMOUAGE REFLECTION MAN FULL
Many, including myself, eventually break down and buy a full bottle (in my case, Jubilation XXV.) For the offerings we think are good but not masterpieces, we can't wrap our heads around why someone would spend so much on a bottle. However, most people who have tried them find their favorite in the bunch, and once they find a favorite, it's hard for them not to obsess over the scent. I think of Le Male as a casual fragrance, one that can be worn at gatherings, evenings out, work (if one sprays lightly.) Reflection Man, like so many in the Amouage line, strikes me as 'special occasion' fragrances - black tie affairs - weddings - far more opulent than the Gautier fragrance which is more crowd-pleasing overall.Īmouage fragrances are overpriced. The overlap is in their 'fresh' nature, but Reflection Man goes very green and very floral, while Le Male goes sweet.

The in 2021 released Reflection 45 gives it a run for it’s money (it’s almost redundantly similar, but it skips the brighter opening in favor of a nutty, more woody approach).Bright and tinny and a bit bitter up front, softens into another complex Amouage powerhouse that lasts on my skin most of the day. If I have a serious meeting at the office, Reflection Man is my number one go-to choice. The drydown of Reflection Man grows ever more masculine on my skin. At times reminding me a little bit of the immortelle used in Marc-Antoine & Quentin Bisch’s masterpiece Ganymede. It always transports me back to memories of (chlorine filled) swimming pools… and somehow that chlorine tinge never escaped or bothered me.Īs I’ve worn this more often I started seeing more of a mineralic spicy touch in Reflection Man. Edgy and classic, the composition juxtaposes the coldness of citrus with the warmth of spices. It’s hard to describe Reflection Man, as I don’t get as much of the powderiness and sweetness from the often referenced Le Malle DNA as other people seem to do.įor me Reflection starts off bright, with a watery, slightly mineralic white floral opening.
