Perfumenetes

I can't say I'm surprised that Reflection Man is one of the best sellers of this house from Oman. The scent is far from being challenging, it would be rather the opposite.

It opens quite floral and sweet. You can feel the woody and creamy sandalwood from the very first moment. The flowers here give the composition a delicate and beautiful touch, making this perfume elegant and suitable for daily events at any time of the year. It is easy to wear, and everyone that is not aware of the niche world will like it. By far, the most innocent, clean and lovable scent from Amouage.

Is its high price justified? Well, many people say "no" because it looks like a very simple scent and it's not a beast. The truth is, sometimes simplicity is just a façade, and is precisely this minimalist feeling what is hard to compose and craft. If you have the money, I'd say with no regrets that this is a complete must-have. There are similar scents, even with different notes that go in a completely different direction, but nothing smells like this.

I think the key concept here is precisely that: the beauty of minimalism. It looks like a simple scent, but it is not, and it is incredibly beautiful.

The only drawback I can mention is its duration and sillage. Given that we are talking about an expensive fragrance, I would expect more performance on the skin.

Whenever I sprayed this fragrance at retail shops, I was always delighted and amazed by its astonishing and beautiful aroma. However, I was a bit skeptical as I could notice that it faded out from my skin really quickly.

Despite this fact and the warning of several reviewers from YouTube, I got myself a bottle.

What a disappointment…

The scent is truly a masterpiece, I think nobody will never deny that fact unless it’s some kind of troll. What Morillas created here is a warm, spicy, licorous scent that is hard to surpass. However, on my skin it lasts for two hours at most and the sillage is minimal. I know that this does not happen with older batches, before 2018 approximately, and it reflects the mindset of these commercial brands that don’t respect customers in any way.

As this point, and with increasing prices, I’d discourage everyone from buying this absolute scam.

My only hope was the Parfum version released in 2024 but this one is even worse. Are you kidding, Bvlgari?

This fragrance is like smelling happiness. It's slightly sweet, floral, spicy, and a bit woody. All the notes are magnificently blended into an incredible and pleasant scent.

The opening is fruity, when it dries down all the flowers gain prominence, with the sweetness and warmth of the base notes.

This one is great as a signature scent, but also for special moments that require this kind of "good vibe" aroma, like vacations, walks on the beach, etc.

Completely unisex, and really good price/quality ratio. Recommended.

This is an Amouage Interlude clone, not an inspiration. It tries to exactly match the original aroma of the masterpiece created by the well-known niche house from Oman. Does it accomplish it? Well, yes and no.

Yes, the aroma is 90% similar, but there’s something here that I can’t put up with. The Amouage's original scent is difficult to wear, that's true. It has this oriental profile with spices, resins, and smoky incense, but it is beautifully blended, with a pleasant aroma that can be enjoyed by any nose, even the less experienced ones.

This clone, on the other hand, is more astringent, and there’s something in the composition that feels disgusting and can’t perceive in the original. I'm not sure whether it is the pimento note or what. The scent is sweeter, less smoky, and yeah, horrible in general.

While both are complicated fragrances, the original makes you want to smell it every time, but this clone makes you want to clean your body immediately.

This one left my collection. Yeah, it’s way, way cheaper than Interlude Man, but the quality difference is fairly noticeable, to the point that I can’t stand this one.

Sillage is very good, which I don't know whether it´s a pro or a con given how bad this is. Same with durability. Bottle is ridiculous.

I can't recommend this one. I'd rather save money and buy the original if you like this kind of fragrances.
