Very helpful Review
European, floral, classy
I first came across the house of Amouage in connection with Interlude, which hit me like a hammer in the face, definitely not my style.
I was a bit biased and somewhat put off by Amouage.
Until I (quite literally) caught wind of this treasure here!
While in downtown Hamburg, I was enveloped by a cloud, a cloud that smelled like how I imagine scents in my wildest dreams. And to my luck, I caught the gentleman wearing it and learned about REFLECTION MAN.
"What? Don't they usually make oriental fragrances?"
I fell so in love with this scent that I first rummaged through Parfumo and read everything related to this fragrance, of course, I immediately ordered a sample and now for the test.
About the scent: Amazing… simply amazing how this perfume envelops me like a soft veil and just makes me feel good.
In the top notes, I can clearly feel the pepper, which brings a nice pleasant spiciness paired with rosemary, a great combo.
Neroli and especially jasmine are now dancing along, and what can I say, for me it’s just a perfect interplay of all the notes.
About the H/S: for me, a very solid performance, I am definitely satisfied. I think it doesn’t need to be beastly and doesn’t have to shine brutally. It rather benefits from appearing slightly in the background, yet somehow still being present. On my skin, it is perceptible for about 7-8 hours and becomes more intimate with each hour.
On my clothing, however, it can still be smelled until the next wash.
Conclusion: A fantastic scent that I can warmly recommend to anyone who likes bright fragrances and doesn’t want to fill the entire room, but still enjoys being complimented on their scent. I see this fragrance (for whatever reason) on rather introverted men who nonetheless have a confident presence. They tend to act more in the background but are never averse to interesting conversations. A clear recommendation to buy, although a bit pricey… but that’s niche!
