Reflection Woman

Reflection Woman by Amouage is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 2007 in the luxury price tier. It opens with rosemary, bergamot and pink pepper, moves into jasmine, orris root, magnolia and freesia and dries down to sandalwood, vetiver, musk and amber. Expect around 9 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Rosemary Sharp, camphorous herb. Bracing and clean, borders on medicinal.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.

Heart

Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
Orris Root Iris root aged for years. Buttery, powdery, unmistakably refined.
Magnolia Lemony white floral. Bright and clean rather than heavy.
Freesia Crisp, slightly peppery floral. Clean and a bit synthetic in a good way.

Dry-down

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
