Aged for four months, it seems like each woody, floral, and musk facet has matured while still retaining a sense of freshness, as if the green notes have just been picked. Reflection 45 Man Extrait opens with an instantly refreshing aromatic tone, thanks to clary sage, juniper berry, and lavender, lightly spiced by cardamom and pink peppercorn. Simultaneously, vanilla-like benzoin softens and sweetens the scent, offering a gentle and sophisticated take on aromatics. The heart subtly leans into these sweeter notes, blending gourmand vanilla and tonka bean with a mix of white florals without being overly sugary or heavy. Finally, the base unveils luxurious layers of vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, cedarwood, myrrh, frankincense, and opoponax.

Reflection Man vs Reflection Man 45

If you enjoyed the original Reflection Man but want to elevate your signature scent, you’ll love this Extrait version; its longevity is sure to impress.

The Story of ’45’

The intensity of the Reflection Man 45 version is at the same time the main selling point or ‘story’ behind the scent. To clarify, a fragrance typically consists of a concentrate containing fragrant oils and an alcoholic base, sometimes with a touch of water and additives. Fragrances with higher oil concentrations contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, generally lasting longer due to their richer composition. Here’s how much oil you’ll find in different concentrations on average:

• Eau de Cologne (EDC): 3% – 10% oils
• Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5% – 15% oils
• Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15% – 20% oils
• Parfum / Extrait: 20% – 30% oils

However, Amouage Reflection 45 Man takes it even further, featuring an impressive 45% oil concentration. This results in a high-quality aroma that celebrates a man’s inner strength, just like the original Reflection Man, but now with an even bolder and more potent scent.
