Class is Transparent

There is an ultimate selection of fragrances that everyone has to admit works; it doesn't matter the taste, when something is done right, you have to listen carefully and respect. Reflection is surely on top of that list and i will tell you why. The common "usual" fragrances that you smell all around are indeed so well known and used for a reason. Make a "simple" and direct scent is something very complicated, because you have to first find what works, then work around it and perfect it, later, you need time to learn how the scent works on different skins, and probably more phases that i can't list here, in small words, there is a long path of Knowledge, Experience and Talent that someone needs, to create something like Reflection, because is encapsulating "the" man elegant simple and effective fragrance in a bottle and a story,In fact, Reflection is the perfect name, as well as the choice of making the bottle transparent with a transparent juice and a mirror-like metal cup with the perfect brush work, is basically a piece of art in a package. And trust me, i wouldn't say this if it wasn't true, i am a snob for "rich stuff people buy". But this, ain't it, is rich, but this isn't simply for rich people in my eyes, simply because it is way more complex than what you think in the very first impression.I won't describe the notes, rather i want to explain why this is the ultimate fragrance for someone who loves simplicity but also loves florals and a bit of incense mixed with spices.

The complexity here is to make a " simple " and someone can call it " banal soap" scent in a way that looks like transparent paper in front of you, as i said, the result is perfectly simple, yet insane complex to achieve, do a bit more flower and is for ladies, put more spice and is too Arabic, put more clean soap smell and becomes boring, this has a absolute masterpiece of escalation, the core is essential, is less soapy and becomes a beautiful mix of inciense pepper and white and yellow flowers, the end sits like a nice leather elegant jacket and a white tailored shirt, this in my opinion is how you make a skillfull scent based on every single one of the notes that Everyone is trying to sell to you in decades of men profumery all in one place. Is like being at the same time with a stunning suit, or being half naked with a perfect white boxer after a shower before going to dress up and leave home.

Only negative i see, is the longevity, I get 3 hours and later sits there, maybe it was planned as I don't smell it on me after a while, but maybe it works on the outside, but it's clear that wasn't designed to last long unfortunately. For this reason, i think is too expensive, but creating a barrier of price means that fewer people will buy it. Amouage, is fine if you charge for a long lasting refined composition, but is sort of a shame to price this as other more complex scents, especially when last barely 3 hours, this don't have the same effect when is simply a deep skin scent.Reflection is the very first expensive bottle I got, and despite being way too expensive and sadly promoted towards "rich dudes," rightfully so, is my perfect 001 of the future list in the higher category, spending this much money should be an experience, and glad it worked out.
