Acqua di Parisis Venezia for Men Reyane Tradition

Very helpful Review
A Real Insider Tip!
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.

With RM, the vintage version is considered the worse one because the biting, bitter undertone is too strong and doesn't match 100%.

In direct comparison, I think it clearly loses out to RM. After 10 minutes, I find it uncomfortably sharp in the undertone. I would guess that it's due to frankincense, even though it's not listed in the fragrance pyramid.

For a clean and clear text, here's a "style trophy." Best, Camey.
