My beloved Reflection Man is nearing its end, time to order some more. Here in the Souk, there are always tempting offers. Recently, I even acquired the vintage version from 2012 - with significantly more performance and longevity. (Many thanks to Greeni07 for the real treasures in the Souk)

Reflection Man is simply a fragrance for special occasions; for everyday wear, I find it far too precious. However, it is also often used for going out, as the 100 ml has to be used up somehow ;-)

The longevity on my skin is a good 15 hours, and on clothing, you can still smell the fragrance even after a few days. Thus, you can definitely save on reapplying. However, the projection in the first hour is almost too much of a good thing, meaning you should be more cautious in enclosed spaces. People in the same room would definitely appreciate it.

There has already been plenty written about the scent itself; I just want to mention that Amouage really suits every season.
The powdery sweetness is actually detectable throughout the entire fragrance journey, which is simply wonderfully executed. This way, every man always smells perfectly "dressed." This sweet-powdery note also reminds me of APOM by Maison Francis Kurkdjian, which I also love.
Of course, you always receive compliments, but I wear all my fragrances because I like them, not to impress others.

I generally find that the fragrance experience of some niche perfumes is - even if only for a day - a relatively affordable luxury. Those who enjoy such goods have to shell out significantly more in other areas, like for a Rolex watch.

In conclusion, I can only recommend Reflection Man to everyone, especially younger men; the fragrance suits them very well. Whether the price is justified is something everyone has to decide for themselves; the nearly €200 for 100 ml is, in my opinion, not exaggerated for a luxury fragrance.
