TL;DR: Oriental / minimal powdery flanker to the original with clear Fahrenheit DNA. Heavier and denser, therefore a little closer to the skin.

About the fragrance: as already mentioned, it has the clearly recognizable Fahrenheit DNA, but significantly deeper and especially oriental compared to the original. The typical "gasoline" violet, smoky-sweet woods, creamy almost cinnamony incense, dense non-stinky leather and a delightfully powdery oud-myrrh combination round out this fragrance just perfectly and perfect the well-known and rightly popular Fahrenheit DNA. In a distant sense, it actually reminds me of Myths Man by Amouage. It's probably the same high-quality, non-stinky leather note in the base. Fahrenheit absolute lasts a good 8-10 hours with a moderate sillage and sinks into an almost vanilla-like bed of frankincense and myrrh. Simply class made.

Now for my personal experience. As the title may suggest, I dedicate myself today to the "prodigal son" of the Fahrenheit family. I have been looking for him for 5 years and now finally found him.
Autumn 2018, this is where I first met him. A sample of blue D. Until then I had heard Fahrenheit, but I did not know for a long time how he smells exactly geschwehnn how many flankers and variations there are actually. I was happy with my first "expensive" fragrance (Bleu de Chanel EdP). A beginner, as I would say in retrospect that I was, I wanted to know more fragrances to have variety. Fahrenheit absolute smelled so different, so much darker and so much "heavier" than the Freshies I knew at the time. It was this said sample that I had stored lovelessly without packaging in the dresser for probably 4 years or even longer. What a mistake! It just said "Fahrenheit" on this little red tube.
I liked the DNA and thought that was Fahrenheit. So I carried this sample from time to time until it was empty, however, he was not worth a full bottle to me at that time.
Fall 2020.I remembered my experience with Fahrenheit and thought there was only ONE Fahrenheit. So ordered me, freshly registered at Parfumo, a bottling Fahrenheit EdT. When it arrived, the big disappointment: this smelled nothing like I knew it would. So I discarded the search. Temporarily. At that point I became interested in Orientals in particular Amouage. Amouage Myths was one of the fragrances, which I liked to wear when it went against autumn / winter.
Now, 3 years later and around several fragrance experiences richer and one euros in the course poorer, I rolled the topic again and ordered me Fahrenheit perfume as a filling. Bummer. Again, not the one I remembered.
So that left only one final candidate that might have been. "A Fahrenheit flanker that's been on the market since 2009 and hasn't been produced in years? That couldn't possibly be the Fahrenheit I was looking for. Something as good as this would be safe still available in stores." I thought to myself.
When I was able to get hold of a remaining bottle thanks to a nice perfumo, the moment of recognition: this was the Fahrenheit I had been looking for so long. Finally. This Fahrenheit I will not let go, if Fahrenheit, then for me only this one! I hope that Dior will reissue it one day and it will be sold again.

TL;DR? Clear buy recommendation. "Blue Fragrance"/"Showergel". Very versatil, very cheap without smelling cheap. Fierce/Percival clone.

Surely I speak here the owners of this fragrance from the soul when I say that this fragrance is not really an "absolutely sinister" creation from the house of Zara. On the contrary, this fragrance comes wonderfully fresh, slightly woody-citrus with a slightly salty amber / ambroxan note therefore, more on this later. A typical "Showergel" / "Blue Fragrance", as many perfume influencers and half YouTube they are currently able to dub.
"Absolutely Dark | Zara" gives you a familiar and familiar feeling when smelling the spray head and also a short time after spraying. A memory. It immediately reminds me of "Fierce (Cologne) | Abercrombie & Fitch" . While the notes differ, the vibe and overall feel of the scent is very similar. But there is more. The spiciness of "Absolutely Dark | Zara" brings it amazingly close to the blue knight horse from France. Knight horse? Knight "Percival | Parfums de Marly" of course. Although not exactly in the noble, high-quality blue robe, but IMHO about 90%. The scent progression goes from fresh, citrusy-woody and ends in the almost "salty" drydown that has something of sea minerals. I have and appreciate the same phenomenon on my skin with "Percival | Parfums de Marly" . "Absolutely Dark | Zara" does everything #Percival would also do at 90% at 10% of the price and the same versatility as the already mentioned "relatives" "Fierce (Cologne) | Abercrombie & Fitch" and "Percival | Parfums de Marly" .
That alone makes it an absolute no-brainer for me. I wear it to work, I wear it to college, I wear it (lightly dosed) to the gym, I wear it in a t-shirt/hoodie, and I wear it in a shirt to go out. It's amazing and awesome at the same time what Zara has created with this fragrance. They haven't reinvented the wheel or released a groundbreaking creation. They have once again created an accessible alternative to a very expensive niche fragrance for the masses. They have learned from their mistakes of "cheap" DNA in other of their fragrances and also still significantly improved the durability.
I get here just under 2-3 hours strong projection / sillage which is slowly distributed throughout the day less and around the 10 hours to the Skinscent is almost endless long to smell. So be careful with the dosage, I had him also very underestimated.
All in all, I speak a clear purchase recommendation for all who want a spicier and unbeatable cheap alternative to the usual suspects like "Versace pour Homme Dylan Blue (Eau de Toilette) | Versace" , "Bleu de Chanel (Eau de Parfum) | Chanel" and "Sauvage (Eau de Toilette) | Dior" , or a dupe to "Fierce (Cologne) | Abercrombie & Fitch" / "Percival | Parfums de Marly" l looking for or a daily driver.

I share the many positive comments about this fragrance, first of all that it is very versatile wearable and it is very unobtrusive. He smells like a high-quality shower gel (if that makes sense?) Vetiver is here very harmonious and softly rounded off by the remaining - as I find great composed - fragrance notes. Can prima every day / night personally I wear this timelessly beautiful fragrance but preferably in the summer months, when my other niche fragrances (eg from Oman or from France ;) ) are too heavy
Well done, Creed!

Reflection Man is rightly a very popular fragrance that is very versatile - I tend to wear it most in the spring / on summer evenings. It was basically already said everything about this fragrance that can be said, so my personal experience:

The fragrance fits super from the student to the best-ager and even beyond. He "reflects" I find quasi the carrier - if you wear casual, he underlines and complements the casual outfit. If one wears Formal, he is a very professional companion to the tailor-made suit.

Contrary to the otherwise typical smoky and heavy Amouage DNA, this one comes very floral, powdery and sweet with the perfect balance by the noble woods, which come out more clearly towards the end - very suitable for the masses, office friendly and a good entry into the world of niche fragrances.

I find it smells high quality, can be worn as said to the office a little more discreet and in the free time gladly a little stronger as far as the splashes are concerned.

Would this beautiful bottle with the noble, sweet and perfectly balanced notes in my collection never miss.

This fragrance wraps you in a sweet/woody, clean cloud - pleasant to wear and very versatil. You can not spray over him quasi because he is very unobtrusive and yet permanently always a small touch of him is to be heard. He spreads an aura of cleanliness, I feel.
You can wear the fragrance to almost any occasion, he can combine prima or "spray too much", Molecule 01 is definitely worthy blind-buy if you want to pay the high price
