- I wore this fragrance recently on a night out in Milan and the compliments were coming in thick and fast! This is the most complimented men's cologne I have ever owned. After draining my travel sprayer I just had to purchase a full bottle!

Respect for actually covering those comments and doing so truthfully. I was aware that Amouage had sent those travel sprayers to more than a handful of CZcamsrs, for example I've seen Justin Copeland mention them before.
I recently got a bottle of reflection 45, it is devine, my favourite in my collection. The quality is superb, scent is absolutely beautiful and it just keeps going, it lasts all day.
Smelled this at a duty-free counter at Heathrow... two days later, which was yesterday btw, I had a friend that was still in the UK pick it up for me and bring it back home.. instant love. Signature worthy, but with insane depth and longevity, and in one of the prettiest perfume bottles I've ever had.
Picking it up from him today, which makes two of us having a Reflection Thursday, hahahah :D
Cheers from Greece!
If a perfumer makes something truly special, I think its always worth the money.
i really connect with you Chris when you have enjoyed a travel spray or a decant and it seems so clear that you want the bottle, happened to me with some frags of my collection and when you finally get it, that moment is priceless, becomes a treasure. Greetings!
Yes, treasure is the perfect word!
My most complimented fragrance in my journey so far amongst all the niche and designers is surprisingly Le Male Le Parfum, which I wouldn't say I liked when I bought it on release day; I ended up selling it. Then a few months ago, I met a friend who is a well-known 'player.' 🤐 and he smelt amazing! Everywhere he went, it just wafted from him, and it lasted hours as well. When he told me it was Le Male Le Parfum, I was like, no way, I well underestimated this juice, so I bought myself a bottle, and I am not joking; I have had non-stop compliments from women of all ages everywhere I go. When I went to the bar at my local Spoons (All the brits will know what that is, lol), the girl behind the bar was like, "OMG, YOU SMELL AMAZING!" another night out clubbing everywhere I went, I had women and younger ladies always telling me I smell amazing. Even travelling a whole day and putting it on in the morning, come late afternoon, the woman at the coffee shop was like, "Your aftershave smells amazing"!
Stopppittt lol everytime I hear stuff like this it makes me wanna bring my bottle back out. I sat it bc I couldn’t stand it’s blandness, haven’t worn it in almost a year. Are you telling me I need to give it another shot???!!
@@blankmandastankman mate, do it for a few days. Trust me; I even sold my first bottle because I thought it was poor longevity and an underwhelming scent... As a fraghead, I wouldn't make up these reactions as I have nothing to gain by lying about it 😂 but yeah, it's true; women love it. I've been in my local bar and have had 18-year-olds saying, "that guy smells well nice", to 40+-year-old women saying to their friends, "he smells nice!"
@@ngliscsaxon6128 …for some reason I believe you.
@@ngliscsaxon6128 for some reason I believe you. Let me ask you, what about on hot evenings, what do you think the performance/longevity does on this cologne? I know you said it works great in bars so I’m thinking about re-wearing it on a hot night out
@@blankmandastankman , I've worn it on very hot days when we have had a heatwave in the UK, morning and evening, and I think it projects just as good if not better.
I just want to take a second to compliment you on your compliments video about a compliment inducing fragrance that will get you a load of compliments. Compliments to you and your.
Thanks for the compliment 👍🏻
I probably will buy that one soon! Reflection Man and 45 are super duper good! Good choice Chris!
My most compliments ever ive achieved wearing ADG Profumo when i was working on the doors at Night Club. At least 50 compliments
I’m sure you’ve smelled goodnight kiss by Roja but I just wanted to say that in my opinion if you enjoy reflection then you’ll definitely like a goodnight kiss a lot..awesome review
Having the interlude 53 I can tell you they are worth their price. It's much better blended the the regular line up for extra quids next up for me is epic
I got the interlude 53 too it’s nuclear bomb .. imagine that Amouage has a 300ml Interlude shower gel …
An absolute BANGER! I immediately got 15ml upon sampling it. 15ml will last me years
How much?
You know what, your charming personality also made immense contribution to compliments that day 😉
Awww shucks ☺️
Reflection 45 is indeed very good. I probably will replace my current reflection with this at some point. But I agree original is much more laid back version of 45. Good vid.
You are correct, mate , 100% compliments magnet, i did wear this last Friday ,and sure thing, i did receive 5 compliments from women that night,today is Monday and my clothes still smelling reflection 45
Age range? Heard it only smells good to cougars
Hello Chris., I own Reflection man, I liked it when I sampled it after seeing your review on it . Beautiful bottle and I see myself getting this one too. I sampled it and liked it smells stronger and bottle looks amazing. Love them both! Thank you for sharing this video and always a pleasure seeing your reviews.
Thanks Jamie. R45 has more attitude than RM. Loving it!
No idea how Dan managed to photograph that bottle either! Loved Reflection 45 but it sat funny on my skin because of the oil content I think
I've never cared for Reflection Man. The florals are a little too feminine for me. I may have to try Reflection 45 if it has Iris and is more earthy.
You sir have added yet another one to my wishlist. Nice vid, Chris! Hope it’s all well with you.
All good thanks Javi!
I have a sample of RM and really love it. Will probably have to buy a full bottle at some point.
But funnily enough the one I get the most unsolicited compliments on is Creed SMW…
Frittering out into the atmosphere, good analogy Chris! Laughed at that one! 😂 Already own the OG Reflection but found this vid useful. Enjoy that Amouage! Cheers! 👍
Oh I will!
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going try it and have a blessed day
Travel sprayers are a great way to jump into a fragrance!
Hawas gets me compliments like crazy and it’s a cheapy. Layering Creed Aventus Cologne with Virgin Island water is compliments galore.
😝
I love reflection 45, I also smelled it and had to have it!
I will love to try it i get lots of compliments with Carlie and rehab ill give this a go
I do think its a bit different when you're around total fragheads.. I'm sure it smelled good though!
I think the difference is they are more likely to mention it. I’m sure non fragheads love it just as much but they’re less likely to say anything.
@@FRAGMENTAL Yeah fair point
I agree. To my nose, this is the sexiest fragrance ever.
Picked this up when I was in Dubai in March. Love it. Never know when to wear it in the UK though.
Currently $500 US at Maxaroma!!! That would be a hard pass for me.
The bottle is beautiful! I'd love to smell it.
After 12+ hours friend asked me what's that nice smell 🙄 I even forgot what I sprayed that morning. Couldn't smell it anymore and then it hit me - Reflection 45. Must mention it was a decant from just opened bottle. I would like to hear somebody's impressions who got this fragrance for month. It's heavy oiled,need to macerate but does projection get better during time?
Here we mainly buy from Online sellers and Reflection 45 at price of 240 euros. I think it's a good deal.
Thank you for covering the thing with the "Sponsorships". Honestly i was worried that you get paid by Brands to say something positive about them. Glad that isn't the case. :)
I love this fragrance. Just got it. How many sprays did you use when you went out with it that night? Not sure if I should spray light or a bunch the way Curly likes to with this concentration.
Amouage Reflection is my GOAT fragrance
Bloody Heck. $840 Aussie dollars for 100ml. If I was that loaded I'd be wearing Xerjoff Monkey Special instead :D
How many sprays do you recommend during a wearing? I have a bottle coming in this week.
Awesome review I'm curious to see how the Perfume Parlour clone stacks up
I've got r45, for me, it's a big miss. I think it's it's clery sage. Cuz I love lavender.. it's also got 2 bottles of black iris, 3 of interlude AND an interlude 53 as well. 53 is the best. And I can basically wear interlude for the rest of my life.
Incredible review Chris, thank you. What do you think of mixing RM45 with 2 drops of aged Cambodian oud oil (applied behind ears) ?
Mixing ?
Definitely On my try list, not a fan of the original personally 😊👍
Great vid as always Chris👍🏻if you love something that much it’s always worth the money. Man I would love to see you do a video with Aaron on this fragrance 😃 please do it if possible🤞🏻much love from Scotland 🏴
😉
Sory but Gucci Elixir is overall upgrade to this , that i also love...
How many sprays did you go with?
With that many compliments in one evening it may be it goes really well with your body's pheromones . At any rate good for you. May have to pick this one up.
When I tried to buy an Amouage on Esscentual it says delivery options not available and I live in UK which I found strange
Why unbox if you already have the perfume?
Because it was in a box…and I had to take it out.
Thoughts on 45 vs Pegasus exclusif and Prada lhomme intense? They seem to be in same ballpark…really liked new Pegasus exclusif
If the original Reflection Man had similarities with JPL Le Male, maybe Reflections 45 has similarities with Le Male Le Parfum, which is Le Male with added sweetness and Iris?
Very Nice Chris!
Enjoyed Chris 👍
You said you will keep this for the rest of your life. Aren't you worried about the shelf life? I am strongly considering buying the fragrance but shelf life worries me as it is so expensive.
Not sure if that was wrapping or they dredged up your package in a fisherman's net.
Superrrb review as usual❤️❤️❤️❤️
In all fairness regardless if you got it via a sponsor, you yourself have put yourself in the position to get where you are today to have these perks. Enjoy your new fragrance Chris.
I wish he would let us know if he got any compliments while wearing this
They do pack their fragrances well
I agree, 400 quid is a ridiculous amount of money for a fragrance, cant dispute that. However I also agree that people spend a lot more on other hobbies that may not last as long, smart phones spring to mind. If you have a smart phone that does what you need it to do nobody needs the newest phone just because the screen folds in half or it holds prestige in brand equity, but people still spend more than 400 quid on a new phone... For me though reflection man didn't really do it, I found it a bit too ho hum.. So I wont be investing,, i like Sunshine man, beach hut man both of which i own along with a few select fragrances from Roja, Nishane and Tiziana Terenzi all of which are very unique and special. Anyway, like the videos. 😊
Some great points Gazza 👍🏻
Oh my days! Wow.
what else do u do for income man ?
I caught you on smelly's live and that was great what you did above and beyond the Call of Duty. Then you popped in when you were mountain biking that was cool. How is George's short film going haven't heard anything from him he's been quite quiet
Hey Phil, George’s film is going well. There’ll be a vlog about it on my other channel soon.
@@FRAGMENTAL I've been watching fragrance reviews for about 5 years and my hunger and thirst for entertainment and knowledge has transition to live streams. But I haven't found one that fits me yet. But it seems you can catch somebody's live now 24/7 I've never been in a chat room but I assume alive is pretty much the same thing there's usually only 20 or 30 people there if that many
@@FRAGMENTAL thanks for getting back with me. FYI you seem like one of the most are more level-headed reviewers there are a lot of clowns out there clickbait entertainers. Bottom line I guess that's the name of the game chasing a dollar
I bought a sample of Reflection Man and liked it, but the opening smelled like a first aid medical kit and too me, I didn’t like that! So does Reflection 45 have that same medical kit smell?
Thankfully I don’t have a medi kit association with either! 🤕
can you link where you bought it from please
patiently waiting for jubilation xxv to get the same treatment 🙇🏻♂️
Thank you. How sprays and where did you spray for 45???
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Class of a Bottle!Class!
Cheers🥃👋🏽💀🏆
How did you manage to get such a large discount from Escentual?
MAB Ganymede is the most complemented fragrance.
Of course it's worth it! Even more if every time you wear it put a big smile on your face. Haven't tried Reflection 45 and I have a sample, I wasn't really into Reflection Man but the other day I wear it and I thought: this smells fantastic you idiot! So now I want a bottle and... I'm afraid to try Reflection 45, I'm saving for my bottle of FM The Night, talking about expensive fragrances. The one that I absolutely love from Amouage right now is Overture, what an amazing fragrance!!! Thank you Chris!!!
Yes Overture is a beauty!
Chris, how about Overture? It's not so complimentary like 45?
Where can I get that travel spray please?
Sorry but this seems like a paid comercial…
Then dont watch it dwurp
@@rayjones1113 LOL then how would I know that it looks like a paid comercial? DA
@@edmago72 dude reflection 45 is literally in the hall of fame. Top 10 ever
For starters, you don't buy a fragrance you're paid to advertise/review.
No he has said this in other videos randomly. If he's paid then I applaud his professional consistency
People use vegetable oil in diesel cars maybe it will run on amourage!
Nice review 👍🏻
Cheers Matt
500 € kost a 100 ml ,it is crazy
How many sprays do you recommend with reflection man 45?
If you want any sillage about 25
Have to ask...did Perfume Parlour do a take on the extrait? 🤔
Oooo not sure!
Can't find this fragrance for less than £350 ????
Hi, Chris this is just off the topic but have you given your voice on the Jet2 airlines’ announcement??
He does do voiceovers, so highly possible 👀
I think it smells just like reflection man 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Hi Chris, I have the original Reflection Man and really like it. I may get myself a sample of 45. I'm waiting until September to order myself PdM Haltane with the 25% discount code.
Do they always have 25% off in Sept or something? Be good if you could share code
@@Kevinashes You just need to subscribe to their website. In that way you'll get notified by email. There are no set times for the discount.
I MUST get my nose on this!!!!
That shirt, though! 😍🖖
How many sprays?
It’s funny you mention the smell of this fragrance to the wearer seemingly to fade quickly. I had this exact same issue with JubilationXXV, except for this one it seemed to fade to nothing within minutes. I took the bottle back to where I bought it (thinking that it was faulty or something)... I was told by everyone at the shop who tested it that there was nothing wrong with it so I begrudgingly took it back home with me.......... haven’t worn it since !!! (around Christmas time).
After what you have just said I may have to try it out again and see if there is any change
I have the same issue with Dior Sauvage EDT (Yea, i know...i know...:P ). I can barely detect any of it no matter if i spray it on hand and smell it upclose, or wear the fragrance as usual. Now here's the funny thing, multiple times i tried out a really cheap clone of it (La Rive Extreme Story) and same thing, can hardly smell it lol. In fact i can smell the cheap one slightly more then the original.
@@NazgulfromLOTR really weird isn’t it.. somebody suggested that maybe it’s so strong that it just blows the sniffer sensors (that is a technical scientific term) ha ha
@@cretecandi6807 I think its just how our senses work and it differs from individual to individual. Like my father can detect smells (fragrances too) from miles away and same with food tastes. I used to get mad at him for having such selective tastes in food and how he'd ramble about how good something tastes but now i realise how strong his senses are. Once he complimented me on Club de nuit intense like 13-14 hours after i sprayed it lol i even forgot what i put on that morning.
There is a chemical i mostly smell in cheap middle eastern fragrances (also detected it in Sospiro Erba Pura) that blows MY nose off from miles away. I don't know what it is but i can smell it from across the room
If you love it and it'll last the rest of your life, then you're worth the €400! 👍😊👍
Clicked to see why you were wearing a bizzare burlap-looking paper garment in the thumbnail
Just ordered a sample I’m hoping for great things love the original reflection man
Any ideas on what would happen by layering the two?
Price to performance is pathetic.
10 sprays for 1 foot projection for 3 hours. NOBODY has mentioned it on me in 2 weeks. Wtf
What would you say is a possible designer fragrance alternative for your university students over here? 🤣
Le Male....and spray lightly! Done. ☺️👍
Dont wear le male😂 Get a 10 ml decant and wear it occasionally
Nice
I have a decant on the ordinary reflection man...I love the smell but damn it feels so week...... 😕
That Dna the same dna of reflection man also similar dna of le male , è un ondata di complimenti le donne amano that kind of smell
£400 for an aftershave, ridiculous
300 quid just for the packaging
This thumbnail!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
And if anyone is not willing to part with a large amount of cash "Man in the mirror" from Pocket scents is a near perfect inspiration with superb quality.
This is Le Male. Not a fan of anything Amouage... Too Middle East for me.
New sub! Liked 🙏😮😛
