Acqua di Parisis Venezia for Men Reyane Tradition

I ordered the fragrance blind a week ago after seeing here that it should be very close to RM.
So far, I have been very convinced by Reyane Tradition.
My first fragrance was Insurrection Pure II, which many of my friends even bought after trying it.
Now, this is my fourth from this brand.

To be honest, I didn't really expect it to be close to RM, as I also don't think that Le Male or Moschino Uomo smell similar.

After the first spray, I was very surprised because it just smelled repulsive to me. I can't even describe it. Just disgusting. The crazy thing is, I only feel this in the first second... From the second second... Reflection Man??

When smelling the bottle, I don't see any difference, in my opinion.

Longevity was great; I could still smell it well on my clothes the next day.

I can't say much about the sillage yet.

The packaging and the bottle are simply designed. Can't complain about that :)

All in all, I would say that people who want to save money for RM MUST actually test this one here.. Unbelievable.. And that for 30€..

I came across this perfume due to its alleged similarity to Reflection Man.
I still own a bottle of the increasingly rare vintage version of Reflection Man, but since this version is now so hard to find, every spray really hurts my heart.
In my opinion, this scent comes quite close to the original. However, it is not a confusingly similar clone like, for example, Aventus - Club de Nuit Intense Man, but rather a slightly altered copy.
After about 10 minutes, the rather fruity-citrus top note disappears, and the oh-so-beloved flair of Reflection Man takes over. Floral sweet is the best description, even though compared to the scent from Amouage, there are slightly more woody notes to be heard.
The base note sets in after about 4-5 hours, where the floral accords fade a bit, but join the already present sweetness, leaning slightly towards patchouli-vanilla.
For about 30€/100ml, as a fan of Reflection Man or generally of floral, masculine fragrances like Fleur du Male or Kenzo Power, you can't go wrong.
Sillage is quite decent for the first two hours, but then gradually becomes more intimate. The longevity is comparable to the reformulated version of Reflection Man, around ~8 hours.
