Our take
What does Reflection Man smell like?
Reflection Man, launched by Amouage in 2007 and composed by Lucas Sieuzac, stands out in a house known for opulence thanks to its clarity and lightness. Rosemary, pink pepper and petitgrain open with an aromatic, peppery freshness. The heart is openly floral: jasmine, neroli, powdery orris root and ylang-ylang form a refined white bouquet that feels surprisingly masculine. Sandalwood, cedar, vetiver and patchouli give the base a creamy, elegant woody footing. It suggests a freshly pressed white shirt, with the sophistication that made its reputation. The iris lends a cool, rooty softness that keeps the flowers from feeling pretty.
When to wear it
For the office and elegant occasions, especially in warm weather; it suits men who enjoy refined florals.
