Expectations VS Reality
So now it goes Reflection 45 to the collar :)
I was always a fan of Reflection Man and wanted to buy me a bottle again, as I learned that this extrait version should appear. My eyes shone not bad.
Full of anticipation I started a sharing and many dear Parfumus / Parfumas made with. 450€ changed hands and I was still happy.
What were my expectations now? An Ombre Nomade or Nouveau Monde, but just as Reflection Man a strong radiant fragrance, power without end, wonderfully composed and simply sets a statement! And not only strikes me and delighted!
The package from Oman arrived quickly and without problems. I pulled out my sharp pocket knife and carefully opened the package! The packaging is the standard Amouage packaging, but the bottle is a poem, for me quite easy the most beautiful bottle I have.
Sublime he stands there, typical amouage, and in addition the color games of the reflections, just great! The sides are vaporized with a chrome layer. In addition, the loop around the neck, So the detail richness and the execution is excellent!
Magnet cap off and the first spray, hmm interesting, tangier, spicier than the original. It smells wonderful. The cardamom is dominant there for me. It is joined by some pepper and lavender. And only very light floral notes, round out the whole thing. (However, without these metallic floral notes the reflection you have made so unique)
Overall, much less floral, not as sweet and clean. It seems much more masculine and adult, also a bit edgier, not as round and soft as the original.
The opening is really great made! And also sets off very clearly from the original.
The fragrance becomes a little sweeter and powdery (vanilla, iris)
as it progresses Woods are added also the incense is wonderful to recognize. Vetiver puts the composition its I dot on, with its light fruity note, overall very intense and very very nice!
A great fragrance! The drydown is my clear favorite. Wonderful!
You could smell it for hours! Can you fortunately also, because the durability is very good, from the fragrance alone he is clearly in my top 10!
But now we open times the eyes and come together to reality!
The sillage is worse than the original! We are talking about 450€ for 100ml! He smells absolutely wonderful, no question, but this is so disappointing to me. Extrait or not. Then I would have preferred an Edp!
How does Louis Vuitton create such strong fragrances like Ombre Nomade or Nouveau Monde?
Which smell wonderful, with a great progression and wonderful notes that can make a lasting statement. A fragrance that remains in memories! And fills rooms. That's what I expect at least in this price segment.
Amouage delivers here indeed a fragrance that is without a doubt just as beautiful as the above, but unfortunately became as fleeting as the moment that just passed.... (unless you press the nose on the skin flat, then you have longer what of it)
An olfactory snack, so you could describe it. Superbly arranged no question, but that's not quite enough for me, unfortunately!
If you revive perhaps the most famous Amouage fragrance, then you can expect the complete package.
It would have been preferable to me, he would not be so beautiful, then the disappointment would also not be so big just. And as is often the case, this sentence from my best friend is also true.... EXPECT NOTHING, THEN YOU WILL NEVER BE DISAPPOINTED :)
It is a fragrance for you, others will not be able to perceive him, at least by far not as you would wish. Maybe he should also be exactly like that? One does not know!
What I can tell you, however, it is a beautiful fragrance with a unfortunately much too weak sillage, and if you like reflection, you will also love this one. Whether it is worth it, however, you must decide for yourself!
Thanks for reading.

Addendum to the durability after a total of 3 days and 3 tests, it is very good, you can smell the scent even loose 12H later on the skin. And he still smells wonderful.
The sillage is quite ok for about 1h, but after that he becomes much too quickly a skin scent on me. There was even a great compliment at the gas station, 45 min after spraying on.
Another hour later, a friend, on my demand, could not smell it (1m-1,5m distance), he did not notice the scent. And he usually comments on all my perfumes.
