Among the Amouage catalogue, certain fragrances are classics and have been reinvented in 2021, as “Exceptional Extraits.” They include Epic 56 Woman, Interlude 53 Man (the first exceptional extrait), Honour 43 Woman and the second extrait for men, Amouage Reflection 45 Man. All four of the Amouage Exceptional Extraits live up to their name; their depth and richness are outstanding. The number following each represents the perfume concentration, and with Amouage 45 that means 45 percent is pure perfume and this fragrance been macerated for nearly four months. Increasing concentration takes skill or the DNA and harmony of the perfume can be lost. Creative Director Renaud Salmon has returned each time to the perfumer(s) who composed its predecessor. Amouage Reflection Man, composed in 2007 by Lucas Sieuzac and is a great introduction for men who are wary of florals, thinking they are too feminine. There is lavender in the opening, but the heart of Amouage Reflection 45 Man has Neroli, Jasmine and a powdery note (orris) that for me is reminiscent of Dior Homme with an incense laced sandalwood drydown. The signature Amouage contrast of light and dark is present in the base, but even more so. Amouage Reflection 45 Man which seems richer and more ambery, muskier and of course the longevity is outstanding. It is a very elegant perfume and I don’t find it overly masculine nor will many women be watching this video (our Sr Contributor Rachel Watson adores Amouage Reflection 45 Man).-Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
