Why We Carry This

Reflection Man is one of Amouage's most consistently praised compositions, and the 45 Extrait format is the version that reveals why. The neroli-petitgrain opening is unexpectedly fresh for a house associated with density, and the jasmine-rose-iris heart at Extrait concentration has a richness and staying power that justifies the higher concentration. The ambergris base is the finishing material that makes the whole composition cohere.

Reflection 45 Man is the Extrait concentration of Amouage's Reflection Man, and the added depth reveals the composition's true architecture more fully. Neroli and petitgrain open with a green-citrus freshness that pink pepper sharpens before the jasmine-rose-iris heart arrives with the dense floral warmth that defines the Reflection line. Sandalwood and cedarwood in the base are warm and dry, ambergris giving the whole composition a marine-solar quality that extends through the drydown. The Extrait format holds the floral heart in place for hours longer than the EDP.
