Perfume Parlour Sterling Reflection For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005. Sterling Reflection For Men opens with Bitter Orange, Cedar, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Clove, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, Cinnamon, and Benzoin. Perfume Parlour's Sterling Reflection For Men carries a Statement verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget read of Davidoff Silver Shadow, the warm orange-and-saffron spicy oriental. It captures the creamy citrus-saffron opening and cosy amber-spice drydown convincingly, though it reads a touch sweeter and simpler and projects more modestly than the smooth original.

About

Sterling Reflection follows Davidoff Silver Shadow: a creamy opening of bitter orange with spicy coriander and a flick of Virginia cedar, sweet and inviting. The heart turns warm and a little mysterious - hot saffron and clove woven through patchouli - before the drydown settles into the addictive part: amber, benzoin and cinnamon over a soft oakmoss base, smooth and resinous. Against the original, the PP take keeps that orange-and-woods DNA intact but leans a shade sweeter up top and renders the spice-and-resin drydown simpler and more linear, losing a little of the seamless depth. Silver Shadow was a smooth, intimate 7-8 hour wear, and this dupe is similar in spirit - close projection, a few hours of cosy spice. A warm, sweet, snuggly spicy-oriental for cold-weather evenings and dates.
