[@tookitoff]

Wearing the original reflection man today and this scent is so smooth, so elegant, i love it, i need to try the new reflection 45, great review Sebastian 🙌

[@midoalboraey1235]

Excellent detailed comparison between the two fragrances. You are the best Sabastian 😊

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Wow, thank you!

[@MrGdleff]

I agree 👍

[@ricdynasty]

I own this as well as the original. I pick up lots of lavender in 45, and it smells much more complete compared to the original. Smells like pure luxury ! I’m happy with my purchase.

[@D0N-]

If you had to pick one and you could not get the other again, which one would you pick? And which one gets more compliments?

[@willparker7699]

@@D0N-for me personally I would pick the 45, I sold my original reflection after I got my hands on the 45 as it is just a true bump up from the og

[@blankmandastankman]

What’s the deal with the repackaging? Reformulation?

[@Tomatohater64]

I went through two bottles of the original Reflection Man. Going to have to try R45. Anything Amouage puts out I have to try. Definitely my favorite house.

[@SabanitosGaming]

how was your experience?

[@edgarg.8884]

@@SabanitosGamingthat boy forgot to try it 😂

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm a big fan of Amouage Reflection Man so I'm going to try the 45 extiait and have a blessed night

[@bass407fla]

As someone who doesn't like the original. The Reflection 45 sounds like my cup of tea.

[@chadm4051]

I just received a sample of this one. It's nice and I do pick up on some of the additional woods and resins, but I really don't think the performance is worth the price. I generally like that extraits project less, but this is a skin scent by hour 3 for me. Interlude man, Honour woman and Epic woman extraits were still projecting after 8 hours. I would sample this version of Reflection and make sure the performance meets your personal expectations.

[@michaelabston2151]

Thank you…. I was getting ready to purchase the 45 now $500 bucks at Neimam Marcus but now I think that I’ll try the original 1st…😊 so glad you make these videos…

[@bryanryan4504]

Reflection 45 is not much better than the original. I was thoroughly underwhelmed

[@yasseralg3928]

I have both. I prefer Reflection Man over Reflection 45. The original is more woody, and I like this accord better. I did a test where I sprayed the original on a test strip, 45 on a second strip, and both on the third. I had my wife rank them. She ranked the layering combo as the best, the original as her second favourite, and 45 as the least favourite. So now, I am rocking them both. 3 to 1 ratio since 45 is more concentrated. Hope this helps some people

[@deepthings4311]

I do not like the og reflection man at all. Hopes for reflection 45? Been trying to get my nose on it here in Aus.

[@yasseralg3928]

I actually prefer Reflection Man over Reflection 45. The original is more woody, and I like this accord better

[@adw6296]

Same. I traded my reflection 45 for the OG. Amouage accidentally sent me 2 bottles of the 45 when I ordered 1 lol so I traded one.

[@eugenegutierrez5106]

I came close of buying the 45 reflections. It was pricey. $560. I’ve decided to get parfum de Marley ( greenley) instead.

[@cheesecrumpets]

Greenley is a stunning fragrance. Found it a few months ago and wanted it ever since. Super fresh.

[@professionalpookie]

Ok???

[@kinglincoln2081]

Excellent review man 👍 I am glad that I didn't blind buy this one especially with the exaggerated price that Amouage is inforcing 😓

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Please smell it tho! Noses are different! 😀

[@orinthogrier3687]

Reflection was my first amouage. I will adding 45 to my collection

[@abdolhamedsharef2924]

Exactly I was wondering what is it like so the opening is like Le male

[@tabacarudelia8502]

I must admit that I am not such a big fan of Reflection man; I do like it, but not love it. Said so, I am curious to smell the new version. On another topic, I was thinking of buying Interlude black iris or Journey man... which would you recommend? Thank you!

[@saabreplay7553]

Excellent video. Thanks for the explanation

[@keithbrandson6293]

Got some samples this week. To me, Reflection 45 is really similar to Dyptique Tempo.

[@herbshirt6073]

hmm, i have an opportunity get the 45 at a great price but it would be a blind buy. I love the original Reflection because of its brighter summer vibe. Would you say the 45 is not as summery??

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Definitely not summery for sure! :)

[@grumpee8432]

That 45 is a beast compared to the original. Great projection and long lasting.

[@nonikita]

I feel that the original projects a lot better, but this lasts longer.

[@ابوحميد-ذ1س]

Is the 45 have good projection?

[@dqyler]

Great video and explanation, I've tried the original and really enjoyed it, I was thinking that the more concentrated formulation would be more of a boosted version of the original... I know it's not as simple as that! I think I may just go with the original!

[@ft7234]

More concentration = more longevity, less projection. That's a general rule of thumb.

[@davebee70]

Truly regardless of longevity I feel you cant go wrong with the original. OG is better imo

[@pamelabrown8467]

Thanks for sharing your video take care❤️

[@zombiejuicee]

I see a lot of reviews stating that reflection man 45 smells like the the early batches of reflection man. Can you chime in on this?

[@StuartMunslow]

glad i got a sample of this and didnt blind buy it,this is the first time i tried an amouage fragrance and i do like it...but not enough to spend that kind of money,does smell great but the performance atleast on my skin is not the greatest.

[@LobisAnthony]

Interesting love reflection man a lot but yeah need spray like 6 times or more to last maybe these with 3 spray or 2 and 3 of the other mixing up will be a good play

[@firstactionhero]

I have reflection, reflection 45, jubilation xxv, jubilation 40, Interlude, Interlude 53 and Interlude Black Iris and the 40, 45 and black iris are the three best

[@hermez8050]

Here goes my favorite fragrance reviewer☺️

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

You're the best!

[@waltherP99BG]

When Amouage changed the caps to magnetic, they diluted all their current fragrances, some not much, but some by a lot. I still have vintage non-magnetic cap 09' Reflection Man , and compared to the current formulation it's WAY stronger, and fuller. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling the new Reflection 45 is the vintage Reflection, tweaked a bit , with fancier bottle , and much higher price tag

[@burgersuperking]

They changed a bottle now again, and diluted all fragrances as well. Don't buy modern bottles with a name in the front

[@zexedearth89]

its not, Reflection 45 is way too denser and heavier even then the older nonmagnetic Reflection. It kinda strays too much from the original DNA... So kind of a miss

[@waltherP99BG]

@@zexedearth89 I should get my sample in a few days, and i'll be able to share my own thoughts then

[@destryo3287]

Nice theory.

[@farmsalot1233]

My guess is your older bottle maceration kicked in and your confusing that for why the newer seems weeker. Any scent I've kept over a year naturally gets stronger.

[@giuseppezaloli1387]

Been waiting for this review. I love resins.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Hope you like it!

Hi this is Avis from Oriental NC. I just bought a bottle of juce called Verato. It smells amazing, i cant find out much about it. The only vide wasn't in English.. 🤷🏾‍♀️plz help

How do the resins in this compare to those in journey man

[@AbelAdames-r9n]

Reflection man reminds me of a better more refined estee Lauder pleaser for men God bless and I love reflection man one of thee greatest scents ever

[@mikefordsaccount4900]

Am so wanting this. Amouage next to Tom Ford is my favorite house and Reflection is one of my favorite scents.

[@blAckevans]

I’m gonna go with the OG 😁

[@asbasf2382]

Disappointed of the performance of reflection really sad, the scent smells wonderful definitely a niche smelling but the longevity is a disaster, i got it with 135 $ so it’s kinda fair deal.

[@GoonieGooGoo910]

Do you feel the 45 is subjectively better?

[@majedalhammadi8234]

Thank you prof

[@alaxemeyianna5052]

sebastian in the end which one you like best ?

[@therealParisHilton]

How I love your educational informative videos my only complaint is the prices of the perfumes you review which are way out of my reach.

[@carlgranados7106]

Looks like a most try. The jasmine in the original was a turn off to me.

[@echtervorarlberger]

Two sprays from my decant, and Reflection 45 took over my wool Pendleton sweater for a week and a half. Enough to be noticeable by my girlfriend every time I put it on. Wonderful experience. Certainly denser, richer, and more balsamic and ambery compared to the more floral original.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It's quite intense.

[@nataliaalaimo9076]

I still need to explore Amouage, sounds wonderful

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I love Reflection Man, probably my favorite from the house. Waiting on my sample for this one. I think the pricing is ridiculous. I also have Dapper’s clone of Reflection and it’s pretty good, way better performance than the original.

[@Roccofan]

How did you like it?

[@wesnewman]

@@Roccofan it is definitely a more dense version that lasts longer, but it didn’t out project the original. Not worth the upgrade unless it’s your favorite scent.

[@Roccofan]

@@wesnewman Thanks. Much appreciated.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Awesome! It's pricey! :)

[@Slipsch]

Cheaper than most Roja Fragrances.

[@robj1976]

I was very happy to see your full review on Reflection 45 Man. Based on Fragrantica reviews, I assumed that 45 would run closer to the original, but it would seem that it is quite distinct to your nose. I am still interested in trying 45, but I am not sure if the amber/resin notes will make 45 just as suitable to warm weather as the original. The price is ridiculous, but I figure the bottle should last longer given the concentration....

[@MrJacks1959]

I have Reflection Man and purchased Reflection 45 3.4oz this Black Friday for $385 (25% off) with 2 $50 E-Gift cards, I think that's a good deal (Maxaroma) Just received 45 yesterday and am wearing it this morning.. I will post an update as to my opinion..

[@bingo000]

Extraits aren't meant to project. So no matter what brand you buy and extrait will not project as much as the EDP counterpart. This is due to the alcohol content in the bottle. More alcohol = more projection.

Tried at the Heathrow airport a week ago Very ambery to me. But it had Amouage DNA for sure. 45% that I am not sure 🤔. It was not strong enough for 45%. I got the lyric man recently 2020 version completely watered down. Very disappointing Amouage nowadays. I do not think I will purchase any more Amouage Fragrances, watered down and over priced. I miss old school Amouage

[@danielwebster7030]

On Basenotes, there was an employee of Amouage who revealed a lot of information. I copied it all down. If you all want it; let me know. Be warned, it's a lot, but it's in depth and original, no way could this person have made this up.

[@fsvrwstegen]

Do you mind sharing the information? :)

[@markotb]

Im calling BS?

[@danielwebster7030]

Reformulations: overall, there was one big reformulation in 2013 of several Amouage fragrances driven by IFRA and the European Cosmetics regulations (just before the change to magnetic caps which is why both are often associated). Since then, a few minor adjustments on some fragrances but nothing as significant as 2013. Reflection Man was reformulated in 2013.

[@danielwebster7030]

I have asked to smell side by side the old and new formulas freshly mixed (to allow for fair comparison) and there is indeed a minor difference in the character (the new formula feels slightly less floral and powdery/dusty than the older one). The 2013 formula feels slightly woodier. No reformulation since 2013 - however, there is a new regulation applicable in May 2022 (IFRA 49) that will require a new formula of Reflection man (and will, in general, impact a lot of fragrances on the market).

[@danielwebster7030]

We are not fully done yet but it is getting there (keeping in mind that we are talking about minor changes that are sometimes difficult to spot through triangulation by trained fragrance evaluators). And it clearly means investing more on the concentrate as we need to replace relatively affordable but performing synthetics with a mix of naturals and synthetics that will bring the original character without sacrificing the performance. Which brings me to point 2

[@eugenegutierrez5106]

This last 3 days on my skin. 😂.

[@ahmedelgezla3113]

It's very expensive I think the original is satisfactory for me
