About Amouage Reflection

The heart is floral and complex. Jasmine adds white floral richness. Neroli provides a soft, honeyed floral note. Orris root gives cool, powdery iris character. Ylang ylang adds a creamy, slightly tropical quality.
The base is smooth and woody. Sandalwood provides warm, creamy woodiness. Vetiver adds earthy, smoky depth. Cedar gives dry woodiness. Patchouli adds a hint of earthiness.
Reflection for Man is best in spring and autumn, and suits smart-casual and formal occasions. An elegant, well-constructed fragrance that works across a wide range of contexts.
