Amouage Reflection 45 Extrait

Description

Amouage Reflection 45 Extrait is a concentrated, 45%-oil reworking of a modern Amouage signature, a luminous iris-and-lavender floral wrapped in warm, smoky resins.

Composed by perfumer Lucas Sieuzac for the Omani house Amouage and released in 2021, Reflection 45 Man takes the airy elegance of the original Reflection Man (2007) and deepens it dramatically. The extra concentration trades some of the original’s loud sparkle for a richer, more intimate woodiness. Reviewers describe it as refined, sophisticated, and notably more potent than the eau de parfum.

Please note: Amouage has introduced a new bottle design for Reflection 45 while keeping the original box. Your bottle may be the earlier reflective design or the updated not as reflective design, and we are unable to confirm which version will be inside. The fragrance itself is the same either way.

Scent Character

• Floral: 21%
• Smoky-Resinous: 21%
• Woody: 16%
• Fresh: 16%
• Sweet: 16%
• Spicy: 11%

Translation: a powdery iris-and-jasmine floral heart sits over a base of frankincense, myrrh and opoponax, giving a soft smoky-resinous warmth. Fresh aromatic herbs and gentle spice up top keep it from feeling heavy, while tonka and vanilla add quiet sweetness.

Heart: Iris, Jasmine, Neroli, Angelica, Tonka Bean, Vanilla

Base: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Frankincense, Myrrh, Opoponax, Patchouli, Vetiver

Performance

Longevity: Excellent. At 45% concentration this is a true extrait: expect roughly 8–12+ hours on skin, with reviewers reporting it lasting nearly all day and well into the next on clothing.

Sillage: Moderate to strong. It forms a steady, elegant scent bubble rather than a room-filling bomb. Slightly softer projection than the original, but far longer-lasting.

Projection: Close-to-moderate after the first hour, settling into a refined, intimate trail.

FAQ

How is Reflection 45 different from the original Reflection Man?
Reflection 45 is a 45%-concentration extrait version. It keeps the iris-lavender floral DNA but is richer, woodier and far longer-lasting, with softer projection than the brighter original.

Is this a men's fragrance?
It's marketed for men, but its powdery floral-resinous profile is genuinely versatile and works well on anyone who enjoys refined, soft-smoky scents.

Does it contain real oud?
No. Despite Amouage's reputation for oud, Reflection 45's smoky warmth comes from frankincense, myrrh and opoponax resins, not agarwood.

Why try a decant first?
A full bottle is a serious investment. A 1 mL, 5 mL or 10 mL decant lets you wear it for several full days and confirm it's right for you first.
