Deset Reflection is a highly convincing clone of Amouage's Reflection Man, delivering a clean, floral, and woody fragrance with a strong presence and excellent longevity. It projects intensely, filling the room with a prominent sanguine warmth and a creamy sandalwood base, evoking the classic Amouage profile. The scent is rooted in white floral and patchouli accords, balanced with aromatic spices and cedar, creating a refined masculine scent that feels both elegant and versatile. It performs persistently, lingering long past the average time frame, and works best in spring and summer, though some find it best suited to warmer climates due to the creamy woodiness that characterizes its drydown. The high-quality ingredients are evident, and while some note a slight disjointedness in the skin scent, the overall result is widely described as a nearly perfect match to the original Reflection Man, especially for those seeking a reliable and lasting alternative.
