The bottom line is the $500 per 100ml extrait bottle Reflection 45 Man adds a few new wrinkles to the original's benign formula while ratcheting up performance metrics, but alas, like the prior release that kind of smelled good but never merited buying or wearing ever again, "45" gives a similar indifferent feeling until the all too late finish, earning an above average 2.5 to 3 stars out of 5 rating and a neutral recommendation to all except fans of the former release that have an extra $500 to burn. Now, the composition is a bit less pleasant smelling, but equally "just good enough" to make the grade and again unimpressive (though admittedly the late woody dry-down smells quite nice). Now having worn Reflection 45 a few times, I can honestly say that the re-imagining of the previously fresh and pleasant smelling, but wholly forgettable original perfume does add in some wrinkles to the boring formula to distinguish the new release from its predecessor like the focal camphorous lavender and astringent myrrh, but the fresh overall character of the former release still is at "45's" core. While the choice of perfume is unfortunate, I hoped going in to be pleasantly surprised. Alas, Amouage decided on churning out Reflection 45 Man.

Projection is excellent to outstanding, and longevity outstanding at around 20 hours on skin.Īmouage has been all over the map in recent years, with most of its recently prolific output frankly disappointing. During the late dry-down the perfume eschews most of its earlier aromatics, leaving remnants of the dry sandalwood to meld with mild cedar as the new focal duo, with sanitized patchouli support through the finish. As the composition enters it early heart the camphorous lavender remains, now joined by musky aromatic angelica and astringent myrrh as co-stars, with dry sandalwood rising from the base in support. Top Notes Are Juniper Berries, Lavender, Benzoin, Clary Sage, Cardamom. Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer lasting scent) – but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.Reflection 45 Man opens with a camphorous lavender and pine-like juniper tandem with very faint underlying bitter-orange neroli support before gradually transitioning to its heart.
