Is This The BEST Amouage Reflection Man Clone? | Khadlaj Shiyaaka Review

[@pkdsmart]

I would like to thank you for this recommendation. I have never smelled reflection man but if this is what it smells like, this is a great scent!!!

[@TLTGReviews]

Thank you so much

[@aromatixrrt]

I love this stuff

[@TLTGReviews]

So good

[@jsims2445]

What time of year is it good for?

[@coachkeith643]

​@@jsims2445🚫 winter

[@gracefultowels3283]

The black pepper in the opening is the difference

[@g.d2450]

​@@jsims2445 quite similar to Gucci guilty elixir as well and is good for most seasons (except very hot weather) and occasions. i bought it 3 months ago and it smells better now than it did when i first got it

[@ryany3549]

I actually prefer this one as on my skin it’s more masculine,soapy and aromatic! Reflection Man does smell more rich, luxurious and better blended but there’s a note in Reflection Man that smells like grandma perfume that I don’t get in this clone

[@leolemke8338]

Reflection Man is my new favorite after finding it IMHO Dua's Reflection of Casino Elixir and was about to ask you about the clone until I saw it was your sotd yesterday I was lucky enough to get a tester of the real Reflection Man for 119 dollars and now just like Silverlake this will allow me to extend the life of my favorites I'm anticipating Poseidon's Reflection from Dua which is a hybrid of Aventus and Reflection man

[@Fragman-Scoop]

These Dua fragrances are impressive. I have come to trust their quality. Longevity beats the originals more often than not.

[@leolemke8338]

@@Fragman-Scoop I love their hybrids because when you can take anywhere from 2 to 4 different clones of quality fragrances and blend them into a high quality inspiration I'm all in

[@Fragman-Scoop]

@@leolemke8338 Yep fully agree I am on the same page for sure. Only wish they did more sizes. 30ml can get blitzed pretty quick.

[@iolanimadali3507]

Hey Ross does aroma concept ship to Sweden. Thanks brother!😊

[@TLTGReviews]

I have no clue.

[@Antares332]

Blind bought based on your recommendation. Can confirm, smells pretty close to reflection man - love reflection man but didn’t want to drop $150+ on a bottle. There is a difference between this an reflection IMO, but for the price, no one should really complain Thanks for another great find

[@johncarloburton5611]

hey Ross...yes....I just got this Saturday from Aroma Concepts....Very very good clone of Reflection Man !! Love it ! Also got Le Fede - Intoxicate which is good...but I still prefer Kismet Angel. And...got Al Wataniah- Kayaan Classic...which is a Dior Homme Intense/Parfum clone. Yes....IMO...it does lean towards Dior Homme Parfum....(?)....maybe a 'mix".....great great juice !!!

[@redaboussalem656]

You just have to patient with this beast , the real magic start after 2 hours , just be patient and don’t judge so fast , the people who hate it are the one who judge the smell by it’s first spray and after couple of hours the same persons will ask you what are you wearing……just be patient

[@jmerced]

You may be right. I couldn't wait long enough to deal with that opening. There's something off putting that I couldn't put my finger on. When I look at the listed notes, those are all things that I generally enjoy. Maybe there's some cumin or something in it? My nose isn't refined enough to identify it but whatever it was, I couldn't stand it.

[@jppascual1523]

I compared it with my Amouage Reflection Man and it is so damn close 😮 I would say 90% imo. This is my new favorite signature scent and already getting compliments 👍🏻

[@cecepakbar3958]

Thanks for review mate

[@Azav312]

My bottle just arrived and this is downright delicious! Never smelled the original but this was definitely a great blind buy. Thanks Ross.

[@gazzaK1966]

This clone is sooo good! I brought a decant of Reflection Man to try as blind buying a £300+ fragrance is just not an option. My actress friend absolutely loved it so it will be interesting to see if she can tell the difference 🤔 For me the only difference is the Reflection Man is slightly 'brighter' on the dry down but with the cost its a no brainer for me. This is just a superb copy 10/10!!

[@JonathanDaniels]

I hate to say this because I never smelled the original and maybe it needs time to age (?), but even after the dry down it smells like a oriental/middle eastern store or an old lady smell. I wanted to like it but just don't get it. I hope its just a matter of time, but has anyone else gotten this vibe?

[@jmerced]

Yes, there's something in the opening that I couldn't deal with. I threw it in the garbage. When I look at the note breakdown, I don't see anything there that I generally don't like. I don't know if they snuck in some cumin or something like that but I couldn't deal with it.

[@veritasvincit2745]

Just bought it Had a small 1mm sample of Reflection Man years ago but can't remember much about it. Shiyaaka is lovely. It's different enough to stand out and when i wore it over Christmas I got compliments from friends who are used to smelling different frags on me because of this hobby. I guess it'll macerate over the next few months and improve but as yet I'd say that the performance isn't bad. So far im getting a good five or so hours.

[@willbutler6261]

I bought this because of your recommendation and after I smelled it I immediately bought 3 more bottles bahaha. I bought 2 for me and one for my best friend. I have a large collection of designer and niche fragrances and have many wonderful scents. But after smelling this $30 fragrance it has now become my signature scent for a while. Man it's great. Thks

[@skyylarpearl4125]

It's been 3 years since you've done a best men's floral video. Would love to see your picks for 2023

[@duMaurier15]

do you have a favorite men's floral fragrance? I only have Versace Dreamer and Niko Scuplture that I can think of.

[@deputybluevein93]

Oh no, looks like it's time stop using this one. Everyone is on to it now. Another gem that everyone will soon have in their collection. Goodbye uniqueness

[@dtom8053]

You should do a review on all the clones we shouldn’t buy.

[@jsims2445]

This is a solid fragrance…. Very consistent through the dry down. Nice performance and garners compliments….. I like it…. Bro, I just got to say these fragrance reviewers could learn a lot from you. They’re too technical in their crap. They need keep it simple and keep it real. And I feel that’s what you do ….well done my friend on your reviews.

[@jsims2445]

Wait a second. My man at bowtie fragrance guy does a really good job too.

[@Avarage.Joe-David]

Got my bottle yesterday 45€ in Germany. And it’s a pretty new batch 7/23. To my nose it smells like a cheap clone of JPG Le Male (you could buy clones like that in my gym 10 years ago for 15€). Is it just because it’s new? And need some time for development? Because Reflection man to my nose (sprayed it 2 weeks ago at the airport) was way better and remembers me 0% to JPG

[@pedrobravo69]

You're bottle says "silver" on the front?

[@Avarage.Joe-David]

@@pedrobravo69 yes it’s the silver bottle with the red badge and it’s written silver on the front. Now after a few weeks the scent is way better. Still it reminds me to a really sandalwood heavy Le Male version but is like it. Have to compare it 1:1 again with the original

[@saeedkhan-oq5gr]

Got it for £18 in the Uk from TikTok shop where I buy most of my frags ! Can’t wait

[@afnasaf691]

Here in Dubai I got both blue and red shiyaaka for 28 usd😊

[@chameleonphoenix5956]

Hey Ross, I've been looking for a reflection man clone for a bit, I have dirham but, so I bought this after watching this video when it dropped, I got it in yesterday and when I smelled it I immediately was reminded of Jacques Bogart Silver Scent Pure which I have, except the Silver Scent Pure is on roids, I would be very curious what you would think, don't know if you have Silver Scent Pure but man oh man it's a monster to be an EDT, if you don't have it id recommend it, for the money it's a gem, Silver Scent Deep is killer too, check them out if you don't have them 👌

[@jbee1fam]

Just ordered Shiyaaka & Notorious (Fahrenheit Parfum clone). Just looking to see how close these are to their originals. Can't wait!!!

[@jbjohnson8609]

Thanks Ross but the discount code isn't working brotha.

[@dsfragrance4803]

Just purchased a bottle of Amazon for under 30 bucks

[@shawnwilliams8866]

I think im just going to save up and grab the original. They can be pretty reasonable at discounters.

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it because I'm a big fan of the original and have a blessed day

[@best4sharenet]

I think it is dupe of JPG Le male and Reflection

[@xPenitentOne]

Hey Ross, this sounds actually really good.. Maybe I'll get this as a 'backup' or let's say, the 'Main' reflection, and my real reflection as a backup lol. Only thing, the bottle.. Not my style haha =) but the scent sounds awesome! Thank you for the review🔥🔥🔥Helps a ton!!

[@SirEricArthurBlair]

I have Killer Oud Revolution and it’s not great. I am interested in trying this one to see how much better it is. I’ll grab this and a decant of Reflection Man for comparison.

[@joejojo5966]

did it smell bad on its own? or did it just not really stand up to its clone title?

[@jjslickwood]

Waiting for mine in the mail. Thanks Ross. Im much, much less concerned now. Looking forward to it!

[@joejojo5966]

let us know how it is.

[@coachkeith643]

I got it yesterday. I haven't smelled Amouage Reflection prior to purchasing it, but I did smell Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme which I liked. I noticed that Trollgrantica compared the dna to Guilty Elixir de Parfum pour Homme so I purchased it. 🎯 I didn't disappoint.

[@behushbangali]

Great review brother as usual. But this stuff is not available in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Stay well and fragrant.

[@michaelwarren8258]

Got my sheyaaka and immediately sent it back smelled to citronella and baby powder for me

[@br00cezx]

Another great option is the OilPerfumery Reflection Man.

I just want to which clone is better between Khadlaj Shiyaaka or Killer Oud Revolution?

[@TLTGReviews]

I haven't tried revolution

[@lucasaresky9059]

Dua Poseidon reflection smells very close to Reflection men!:)💯 Like 80-90%...fantastic frag just a tad more fruity due to aventus/pineapple.

[@TLTGReviews]

👍

[@jppascual1523]

Is this better than Revolution killer oud?

[@allgenresbops4740]

How does it compare to Killer Oud Revolution from Paris Corner?

[@TLTGReviews]

Not sure. Haven't tried it

[@abubakr1511]

I got it for 30 dhs from uae

[@adventurescents4069]

Definitely a good one!

[@lncf9364]

Does this smells too old school for a 22 years old guy?

[@TLTGReviews]

Nah

[@masstiesaureschaoui7706]

Thank you so much

[@PaperBeatproduction]

i compared it aswell and i would say its NOT 90% close amouage smells much more richer and fuller and the khadlaj has the dna of reflection but is dull and you can smell the yellow flower note which is a harsher type flower smell. i would say its a 80 % MAX likeness.

[@TLTGReviews]

Thank you for sharing your opinion. You echoed what I said, but twisted it as a negative to try to contradict me. Very strange. Basically a quality difference with more yellow floral....as stated

[@benlkm1557]

I'm willing to blind buy it, do u think it can pull it off during summer?

[@TLTGReviews]

I wouldn't wear it for summer personally

[@benlkm1557]

@TLTGReviews is it really long lasting tho? I was ready to order it until I saw the comments in Amazon most ppl said it doesn't last at all. Btw half of the reviews said this was identical to Le Male which I hope it's not the case since I already have that fragrance

[@kenechukwug8877]

This shiyaaka is a beast mode, it gives me headache

[@wanmangeng5957]

Spray less and avoid spraying it close to your nose.

[@joelotero9730]

hi... they say that this shiyaaka is a le male for summer. ..what can you tell me about that..? I would appreciate your answer..

[@TLTGReviews]

It is 100% an Amouage Reflection Man Clone

[@joelotero9730]

@@TLTGReviews Is it sweet in the style of le male?

[@TLTGReviews]

Not really. It is herbal, floral, and woody in the style of Reflection Man. You are literally commenting in a video that I described how it smells 😂

[@jacobnoergaard]

Sadly, no EU resellers. That means the price outside of the EU is about double or MORE when take taxes and shipping into consideration. Like the UK link you supplied, that would have it cost about £70-80 in DK. That's getting close to the price of a Reflection tester bottle.

[@wanmangeng5957]

Aroma Concepts Amazon UK store has it. They don't ship to Denmark??

[@jacobnoergaard]

@@wanmangeng5957 Probably, but it would end up costing around 70-80 UKP with shipping, VAT, handling fees from goods from outside the EU etc.

I have this one. It was special because I ordered right after I did a bottle count and inventory. When it came in it was my 800th bottle. I've worn this about 5 times and it's a great frag. Now...if you put them side by side you can tell the difference in quality. Depth and richness is what the clones misses. This one is sharp. Does anyone get le male out of this more than reflection man? I

[@agriperma]

I just received my Shiyaaka today, and I don't know what Reflection man smells like, but yes, it does smell a bit like Le Male, not sure why though, they only share like three notes in common, it's ok, because I like Le male, and don't have it, but have tested it a few times.
