Lucas Sieuzac signed Reflection 45 Man in 2021, a 45 percent perfume oil reading of Reflection Man that joined Amouage’s Exceptional Extraits. This woody floral musk with lively spices pairs lavender, clary sage and juniper with neroli, jasmine and a velvety iris, over vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood and olibanum.
Michelyn Camen, for ÇaFleurBon, finds Reflection 45 Man very elegant, richer and more ambery than the original, and sees it as a fine introduction to florals for reluctant wearers.
What critics say
Michelyn Camen, ÇaFleurBon, January 27, 2022
Michelyn Camen notes “lavender in the opening,” neroli and jasmine in the heart and “a powdery note (orris),” before “an incense laced sandalwood drydown.” Richer, more ambery and muskier than Reflection Man, this version reminds her of Dior Homme.
For Michelyn Camen, Reflection 45 Man offers a “great introduction for men who are wary of florals.” She does not find it overly masculine and concludes plainly: “It is a very elegant perfume.”
