Amouage 2021 Extrait
Reflection 45 Man
Amouage Reflection 45 Man is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Lucas Sieuzac. Reflection 45 Man opens with Lavender, Pink Pepper, Cardamom, and Benzoin, settles into a heart of Angelica, Neroli, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Amouage's Reflection 45 Man carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.
Reflection 45 is a divisive beast. While many hail it as a masterpiece - a more mature, refined version of the original - others find its strength cloying, its projection lacking, or its character too derivative. This isn't a safe blind buy, so sample before you splash the cash.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its exceptional longevity and high oil concentration make it too potent for casual wear or sport, potentially overwhelming in warm conditions. However, this same impressive performance and sophisticated profile are well-suited for formal events and date nights, commanding attention without being overtly loud. It can work for office wear in moderation due to its clean yet dense character.
