Amouage Reflection 45 Man (Exceptional Extrait, 2021): Aromatic Lavender and Pink Pepper over Orris Jasmine and Deep Resinous Woods

A rich woody floral extrait that takes the clean elegance of Reflection and turns it darker, creamier, and more resinous. It feels tailored and luminous at first, then settles into a warm, incense-tinted glow.

Fragrance Notes

Top: Benzoin, Pink Peppercorn, Clary Sage, Lavender, Cardamom, Juniper Berry

What It Smells Like

It opens aromatic and polished, lavender and sage sharpened by pink pepper and a smooth benzoin warmth. The heart turns plush and creamy, orris adding a silky texture around neroli and jasmine. As it dries down, the scent becomes deeper and more enveloping, with myrrh and frankincense giving a refined resinous haze. Woods and vetiver keep the finish structured, warm, and long-lasting.

Who Is It For

Marketed for men, but wears unisex if you enjoy elegant florals and resinous woods. Best for someone who wants presence with refinement, not loud sweetness.

When to Wear

Ideal for fall and winter, mainly evenings, events, and dressed-up nights.
