One of the greatest fragrances ever released. Truly love Amouage, such high quality scents

[@MuddyGreenMonster]

One of my all time faves. A true classic.

The longevity needs to be addressed.

Aaron, I love the way you review fragrances. I say it every time I watch your videos. It is an education watching your fragrance videos. I can not thank you enough for what you do. You have no peers when it comes to fragrance reviews.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I appreciate that!

[@JoinTheProgress]

I haven't had time to watch many reviews over the past few years, so Aaron has been all I've watched for a while now. I love the art/science, no one else does it, he's terrific and very likable, def has his own niche.

[@Schatje79]

Thank you for another lovely review, Aaron. Your time and passion is always appreciated. I got to wake up late for once in my life and enjoy a nice meal with some coffee while listening to your calming voice review a fragrance I adore. It's the simple things in life that make me the happiest!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

My pleasure!

[@darriangario3447]

That sounds like a great day actually.

[@justinjackson6496]

My 2 favourite houses are Amouage and ATH🦄! Both have amazing performance and smell luxurious.

[@chemicalbear5267]

Just sprayed this on to remind me how good it is, have a sample of the extrait version but prefer the original.

[@adrianawood9741]

They are quite weather dependent. The original works best in the day but the extrait is incredible at night in dry weather. Such an excellent perfume.

[@enriquedelrio9631]

Para mi siendo un principiante en el mundo fantástico de los aromas , es un placer tener un maestro que indica , señala con verdadero conocimiento, sin ataduras económicas de por medio. He tomado tu lista inicial de los 10 mejores y ya la tengo porque en realidad son 100% excelentes. Gracias y el universo te guíe siempre .

[@ruddle1168]

Great review Aaron . I have this fragrance . I agree it’s the most westernised and mass appealing from this house . It’s my favourite house overall though some of their work is hard to appreciate .

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Totally agree

[@luciano.slneto]

Awesome review! Actually this was my first niche fragrance. The first time I smelled something has changed in my mind. Didn’t know that fragrance could be also and art form, and Reflecion Man is exactly that. Much love from Brazil 🇧🇷

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kumarsen88]

I always say, Reflection Man is the epitome of using floral notes in a men's fragrance. To me, it becomes more attractive the more it dries down.

[@tonymalizia]

It's a beautiful crisp airy ozonic bright woody white floral with great performance. If sprayed on clothes it's beast mode. This exceptional combo of features makes it a wonderful all year rounder. It's also a massive compliment getter. I've been wearing it on different occasions in different places and I got compliments from people every single time. This never happened with my other perfumes.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thanks for sharing!

[@clarencewilliams9432]

Looks like this will be my next purchase in February 2023. I am gathering Spring Summer Fragrances. Great review.

[@iamshauncraggs]

I don't like floral smelling scents at all, but I got a sample set from amouage and this massively surprised me despite smelling extremely floral, it smells amazing. I ended up buying boundless though, I'd love to hear your review on that, amazing fragrance, and perfect for autumn!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ArcadianWaheela]

How would you say Boundless is? I’m between getting that or Reflection too.

[@iamshauncraggs]

@@ArcadianWaheeladifferent to anything else you'll smell, sweet creamy, a ginger type spice to it aswell. Amazing scent!

[@RB-vf1uo]

Thank you for educating us all, as a fragrance developer, as a wonderful person with life experience. Please don't change your format, I really enjoy it. It's not "fresh" hate that term, its professional and right to the point. Enough said, thank you 👍

[@ykms2058]

Thankyou for your contributions . I never fail to learn something from you Mr Hughes !!!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Glad to hear that!

[@davebee70]

I really appreciate you going back and having another look at this, I love it, but also I didn’t fall in love at first sniff. Absolutely we do evolve and nothing is sent in stone certainly when I smell things, my opinion can change dramatically upon 2nd sniff or passage of time. Love to hear you thoughts on Amouage Overture Man, Journey Man, and Meander! Thanks Aaron 😊

[@farmsalot1233]

Love this fragrance for spring!

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Me too!

[@metalsmithnick8714]

I'm wearing today and I love watching your reviews as I wear stuff. Thanks Aaron really admire your commentary

[@4eyedike]

I’d love to hear you do Amouage Jubilation, that’s been on my potential purchase list for a couple of years.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I'll check it out!

[@stephenkelly3196]

Has become my signature scent over the last two years. A masterpiece. What other fragrances would you consider belong in the Hall of fame? Given the quality of your reviews that’s an incredible accolade to achieve.

[@dimpaywongchuk5075]

Perfumes de Marly house is great too.. check out thier samples if you can get your hands on 'em 😊

[@warrenamulvey]

reflection man is stunning! Amouage are Top of their game. amazing. I LOVE sleepdebt in your videos... and it's just at the right level to enhance the fact that we listening to you review... creates a beauteous vibe. BRILLIANT! 💥🚀😃

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Oh thank you!

[@MustenMust]

You really should try Boundless aswell if you got it in the sample box. Newer release from the house, imo also more mass appealing and "easier", but more dark than Reflection Man. Not the greatest sillage perhaps, but the scent is great! Aaron, thank you for your great review, as always! 🙏

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I'll check it out!

[@TheDude818]

Oh bro you're killing me this time! Reflection 45 is all the business right now... Wish you'd review that! 😭 Great review as always though! 😜 Still hoping you review Overture, too!

[@Phil7753]

Definitely one of the best fragrances out there! Even though it’s expensive it’s worth every penny! I will always have a bottle of it in my collection.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thanks for sharing!

[@MoahGentle]

Some Amoage started popping up at discounters for 175 bucks a bottle or so, still not cheap but at least discounted.

[@josephpa05]

[@alistairnapper1696]

I love Amouage, really delved into this house more so lately, Reflection Man is fantastic, trouble is once I smell it I want to wear it all the time like a signature fragrance but at the price (well worth it) I have to treat it as a special occasion fragrance instead 🤣. I think my favourite fragrance from Amouage would have to be Myths Man just so unique please review Myths if you get the chance, if not any other Amouage would do! (I've seen all your other Amouage reviews). Amouage is in my top 3 fragrance houses.

[@nonikita]

I will sample this now , this review sold it to me , and if it's good I'll gift it to myself for my birthday:) Always a pleasure to listen to Aaron

[@DropBear2099]

I was really interested in getting this fragrance, but it was just pricey enough that I didn't want to blind buy it. Where I live there is really nowhere I can go to try it out and I am leary of getting samples because you never know how the sprayers are on them and if they are crap then I feel like you don't get the real experience you would get off an actual bottle... so I was just kinda sitting on my hands about it. But having seen your review I think I'm actually going to pick this one up. I really respect your opinion and taste when it comes to fragrances so if it gets a perfect 10 off of you that's good enough for me. I bought toy boy cuz of the review you gave it and gotta say you didn't let me down I really enjoy it.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

They have a sample pack on there site!

[@onolicious9147]

Bought this because of this review. First whiff…wasn’t impressed. Sprayed it on…wow! Became another creature on skin. It’s incredible.

[@chicagoturntablism]

Just ordered a bottle. Sampled this and it’s freaking amazing.

[@yaro1401]

it really is..I love sporty ,manly leaning scents but i cant get over this one..i cant..its out of this world. so sophisticated..I wear it in spring sumer fall winter..it lasts 4-6 hrs...for me the best or most wearable from house of Amouage..I cant get over it..I paid $ 420 in Neimans Marcus..sheeesh..Hall of Fame indeed

[@MrAde1101]

Evening Aaron great content as always……….❤

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Hey, thanks!

[@Trensare]

Sounds promising. I'm really excited cus I ordered a sample today (together with Epic man) and about 25 others 😎

[@lonblank648]

I just received my 5mL testers of Reflections Man and Jubilation XXV. Sprayed on each arm…. Have spent the better part of the day trying to wrap my head around this house. I also put a bit of Interlude Black Iris on the back of my hand. Nothing is jumping out at me like my Tom Ford fragrances and claiming my heart.

[@0040636bf109e]

I trust your reviews enough for me to blind buy. None of the buys I have bought from watching your review has been disappointing. Thank you.

[@D1210]

My most trusted reviewer and my favourite perfume. I clicked so hard I pulled a neck muscle.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Wow, hope your neck recovers

[@markhart6743]

Great video love this fragrance & the fact you still love it after reviewing it once & sampling it on Chris’s Chanel

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@markhart6743]

@@AaronTerenceHughes love alpha man as I find a similar fragrance but better lasting

[@SECshock]

Amouage has a terrific Discovery kit of samples. It is a bit more expensive than when I first got it a few years ago though (but then again what isn’t?) Reflection Man is easy to like, clean, a little soapy, and to me smells like JPG Le Male with an extra herbal component. I love Le Male :) Amouage is a great house and Bracken Man is by far my favorite! I also use Epic Man.

[@leandronicolas8848]

Thanks for the review! and the ingredients/notes breakdown, it's always very insightful.

[@thefragrancedon]

I love this one. Shame doesn't last as long on me. So saving for the 45% version..... lol

[@BlinkCLXXXII]

My GOAT Perfume 10/10 review Aaron Learning every time i am watching Thank You

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I appreciate that!

[@jeffdennis526]

I keep trying this fragrance and initially had such problems with the peppery opening that I couldn’t really appreciate it. For me it does dry down quite well but ON ME it’s just an ok scent. To hear so many people praise this makes me so disappointed that I don’t get the same experience that a lot of other people do. As Aaron says you’ll either like it or not…I’ll keep trying my sample

[@ExistentialSadness]

One of the best fragrances ever created. I sold my bottle and regret it so much. :(

[@Titicacaberryjuice]

Just buy another one. Better than sitting in regret.

[@steveg8707]

I love how I can support this channel by buying quality fragrances.

[@ile_klikow]

Told you the last time but about the violet feel - you need to try Portrayal Man :D

[@annazraf]

What a beautiful review Aaron!

[@garthwright6308]

I remember watching that review with you and Chris, and you said this fragrance smells like money. I knew I had to get it then. Putting fragrance on paper never made sense to me because people don't wear paper. Always put fragrance on skin and clothes.

[@christopherkenyon7112]

Aaron, this one is probably my next Amouage purchase. The quality that goes into their fragrances is great. My favorite from them Fate Man gets no love from reviewers. I’d love to see you do a review on it and get your thoughts. Keep up the great work!

[@calinbiris47]

Fate Man is a beast💪

[@Ahmad-sd2hk]

If got a chance, try the newly released Royal Tobacco(Opus 14). That one is unlike anything I have smelt and would love to hear your thoughts about it

[@alethink5492]

Great. In this fragrance the most important notes are rosemary and synthetic aromas to make it fresher and more airy, jasmine very important, and very very important the bitter orange materials, from green bitter petitgrain to floreal bitter neroli, that with high cashmeran dose, powdery musks, orris root, contrasted by drywoods, create a magnificent unique blend. Clearly Reflection can't be Reflection without that powdery white floral elements to give the entire body of fragrance.

[@No85Limits]

Love your reviews... For whatever reason... I'm not a big fan of reflection and I love the house... very high quality... I may have to revisit this as my tastes have changed a lot from 3 years ago so maybe I wont pick up the florals like I did back then as much. I got super clean/white florally type when I tested it.

[@martysnarf]

Thanks for another excellent review! I was hoping to hear your thoughts on the comparisons to the original LeMale… I definitely think there’s a parallel and would love to hear your opinion.

[@metalsmithnick8714]

You mentioned Hall of Fame, I'd love a Hall of Fame video from you Aaron 😊

[@OlfactiveOverdose]

Have you tried journeyman from amouage yet it is super underrated along with fate man

[@dusanninic5372]

Fate woman is even better than Fate Man !

[@MusicLover-01]

Journey is mega 🙌 😊

[@hadnick1]

I like this scent but it also reminds me of Le Malle by JPG a lot which just bugs the crap out of me. But Reflection man isn’t quite as sweet and smells more opulent and also the longevity is better…

[@minhnguyenquang7220]

My personal favourites are Journey Man and Overture Man, would love to hear your thoughts on them

I'm eagerly awaitng a Lyric Man review :)

[@cheekster777]

Thanks Aaron.

[@jeremycorrao]

Please review Reflection 45!!

[@kuhliloach8842]

The opening of this is beautiful with a tea-like almost green bubblegum vibe. Not sure what's going on with the base they are using for this. As it sits I start taking points off. By drydown it isn't welcome anymore. My sample will be enough.

[@vilirantakoski5180]

I would like to see you reviewing Enclave from amouage! 🙌

[@shadowdeku6926]

This is one of those few fragrances that I can recognize is a masterpiece and is so effortlessly likable, but isn't for me. But for the right person, it's perfect.

[@Cisco925]

What didn’t you like about it?

[@randomdudehere4828]

I just tried my sample that came in… I love it.. and it’s very mature smelling if that makes sense.. I feel like I’ll be buying this for the rest of my life if it doesn’t get discontinued.. very good scent. Could this being a signature scent

[@randomdudehere4828]

Also ATH said everything perfectly and better than how I would describe it. It’s just so versatile and easy yet unique enough to be a signature scent

[@Smoke_C]

This and Aventus were my first niche fragrance buys back in 2010. How much they’ve changed since then. Sad, really.

Great Video Aaron as always! I have question Aaron. If you were to make a middle eastern fragrance, How would to build it? from the Base Notes up or Top Notes down? And also, how to know if something is a top note or a base note? is it the viscosity or amount of raw material or something else? TYSM ❤️❤️❤️

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

is build it around musks and ambers. You can tell as middle eastern dont have a lot of top notes so stay longer and vibrate off the skin with heat: Westen fragrance dont last too long as people are obsessed with the initial blast of top note!
