HonigBanane

Do you know that feeling when you listen to music or create something and you think that "this is just phenomenal stuff, I can't wait to drive my friends out of their minds when I show this" - then at the right moment you make everybody pay attention to you and suddenly you somehow hear how it comes out and you start to perceive the bad side of the music that you have never perceived before - your critical sense kicked in and you feel slightly embarrassed now.

Well, Amouage Reflection Man feels like this, only it goes in the exact opposite direction.

I've had it for a few months now and I've been severely underchallenged. This simple, boring smell can't be the smell behind the hype I thought. After a while I started to accept it as a sufficiently beautiful scent, but unobtrusive. But then I wore it on a normal day with errands, with a stop at the gym.

As I moved between people, I suddenly felt amazing and the flowery notes that somehow went under the radar for me were in full bloom. They were there all the time and I never suspected their beauty. The actual smell was of course the same, but I got a real moment of truth in which I thought, this is exactly how I want to smell among people, this fragrance is beautiful! One of the few where I felt that the name actually made sense - this fragrance really shines in the mirror!

The power of suggestion is incredible. Perhaps everything has been said about Molecule 1 so far, but we should remember that a great marketing campaign combined with good prospects can work wonders. This fragrance is beautiful, kind of fun and can be pleasant, but a single Iso E supermolecule will always be a single Iso E supermolecule. Try to imagine that this is not called Molecule 1, it is not bottled in an extravagant, chic bottle, and no one talks about it absolutely. In my ideal world, the only way to get a bottle of my ideal "Iso E Suer" is to go to the pharmacist and fill it into empty decanters. Who would buy it? No feromone effect here, but a nice, soft, woody musky accord. A good day / office fragrance, not too intrusive, but with a good sillage. The "appearing/disappearing effect" is due to the molecular structure, so we can easily say that it is related to chemistry and not magic. Conclusion: Molecole 1 is quite ok, but if you are ugly, you can't fix the problem just by wearing this. Escentric 1 is much better and at least a perfume.

FINALLY! A deviation from my standard collection dry / woody / spicy, in which I accidentally placed myself.

We had the pleasure to take home some samples from Neiman's and it is FANTASTIC! This attraction.

It is warm, sweet (but not sweetish, and I don't really like sweet, but this is different). The amber / vanilla / tonka gives it a really rich and soothing dark sweetness that doesn't overwhelm at all, the benzoin gives it This smoky / frankincense atmosphere that warms up even more and rounds off the fragrance, and the labdanum gives it a dry / woody / spicy look. This combination is simply incredible. For me it has many of the same qualities as Au Coer Du Desert from Tauer .... Grand Soir, however, seems to me to be more portable and versatile.

That's prize worthy of me! This is a day that should be recorded in history, as this is far from my general woody / spicy / dry scents that I am obsessed with.

I am really beginning to like the MFK fragrance line.
