Test strips only ever give an overall impression of a scent. It's always best to try on your skin for the full effect. After all what might smell great on one person might smell far worse on another....Great review again Aaron. Think we all need another Haul comparison with Chris in the near future👍👍

This sounds like a fragrance I'd enjoy, the only amouage I own currently though is epic, and I plan to get my next frangrance from you so reflection 45 gotta wait anyway :P It is hard to decide but now that I noticed forbidden getting discontinued I think I will go for that because it have been one I've looked at for a while, part of what appeals to me about it is that when I read through the notes it reminds me of notorious that I own and enjoy but I imagine a slightly more serious or deeper fragrance that still have a b it of that playful edge that notorious have a lot of if that makes sense, and if so it would be spot on for what I am looking for! Thanks for another quality review =)

I couldn't bring myself to pay for this bottle while creating my small collection. However, we've grown to about 45 bottles and getting decants to try before I buy, especially the expensive niche stuff. Of course when ordering samples I chose Reflection 45. I it yesterday to a store and completely, positively, intoxicated the woman working at the desk. She said "you smell good enough to rob a bank, you could just walk in." She asked me what it was and even had her manager come over to give me an additional 20% off. I was thinking, I don't normally spend $500 on a single bottle but I might if this pays for itself. The opening is strong to me but the way it smells all day is amazing!

Interesting. It surprises me that the original gave you a headache because even though it lasts long and gives a nice trail it is a soft fragrance and not harsh or something I would associate with giving headaches. You probably should stay away. I tried this one and I preferred the original in terms of smell.

This on is impossible for me to wear. I got a 3 ml sample and sprayed two sprays in the afternoon on my arm. A while later I had a terrible headacheand had to scrub my arm to get off as much of it as possible. Even after shower later in the evening my wife complained I smelled so strong. The next morning i could still smell it. There is something "chemical" in it that just doesnt work for me, I have experienced the same in all of the Montale fragrances I tried as well "oud lemon mint" "red tobacco" "cedrat boisee" and instant crush" all smell the same at the drydown. Not as intense as Reflection 45, but its clearly present and seems to stick on forever.

He gave the original a 10, which I own and find a bit too powdery/floral at times although it's a lovely fragrance. I do find the 45 to be more masculine and although it's strong, it isn't in your face and provides an nice intimate silage. It's expensive but def worth it as it will last you forever as 1-2 sprays and you are good to go. I suppose because Aaron is a perfumer and literally can make what he likes, it's hard to find anything else that he loves. Generally everything is too weak on his skin and now this one is super strong. Just shows how personal a scent is and how it's hard to find the exact scent that both resonates with you and works with your body chemistry unless you make it yourself 😂 Great review as always
