Grandiose to horrible
...that's how I would describe "Reflection Man" after years of wearing it. A fragrance you'd have to be in the mood to wear. One of those fragrances that can be uniquely beautiful, but also uniquely gruesome. I find it fascinating that it is number 2 on the men's perfume hit list. When I first smelled it, I would probably have voted it into the top 3. Today I see it more soberly, although I would like to say in advance that he will always have a place in my collection.
Scent:
For me a floral-powdery and minimally sweetened fragrance. Especially the bitter orange and the neroli are skillfully practicing their interaction and create a fragrance that is difficult to put into words. Nevertheless I want to try it. It smells very bright, almost out of this world. The neroli combines with the bitter orange note and this gives it a bitter aftertaste that can be annoying at some point. If you don't like Neroli, you don't have to keep your distance, because the negative qualities are suppressed and hard to smell out. Then, little by little, flowery chords are added, iris and jasmine are mainly to be sniffed here. However, the "Reflection" is not a classic floral scent, who expects floral chords to dominate here will be disappointed. It's a fragrance that doesn't seem to be at home in any scent direction, but can take on many faces. It is - as already mentioned - removed from the world. Nor can one say that we are dealing with a pure men's scent. Even women can wear this one very well. He has absolutely no herb-male vibe. It is rather powdery and slightly fluffy, but at the same time very sensual and dreamy.
The problem:
The smell can be extremely annoying! Some days it seems to me like it's stale. The bitterness seems to predominate and it loses its radiance. Nothing seems pure and sublime here, but a mixture is created that can cause headaches. Unfortunately, I cannot quite influence when and how it affects me. Here we have then no more flowery-powdery seducer, but stale flower water :P
"Reflection":
Oh, the title fits like a fist in the eye because it is powerfully reflective. He radiates so intensely and for so long that it hurts. With me it lasts for over 14 hours and is very well perceptible in the first 10 hours and in the first 2 hours it is slaying and room filling. Crazy actually, because the smell of the fragrance could be a "silent treader". Nothing seems to have been used here that would allow such a projection. In my collection definitely one of the strongest fragrances and also in the Amouage series certainly at the top.
Hurrah for the drydown:
Funny thing about "Reflection" is that I got the most compliments when the fragrance was in the "drydown" phase. It is infinitely sensual then and only a soft but still potent veil of scent remains. It must be extremely attractive, as I have already been asked about it twice in the disco. At this time I wore it already 8-10 hours. That shows once again how enormous it is. It could be because the bitter aromas settle so slowly and it seems less annoying. But, who knows? ;)
Conclusion:
Since 2017 it is now in my collection and is worn from time to time - just for going out. You get an extremely unique scent, which will certainly inspire, but can also be a pain in the neck. Caution is advised, especially with the dosage and high temperatures, if you want to keep your friends. It is also a fragrance that - if used correctly - will trigger many positive reactions and can be very pleasing. I would therefore never question the quality of the fragrance, but I would advise you to test it thoroughly before you strike blindly or rashly. The price, it should be mentioned, is in the upper range. You can hardly get the 50ml for less than 150 Euros, at the moment you have to pay 175 Euros.
For a place 2 is not enough for me, because it fluctuates between grandiose and horrible too much!
