Amouage Reflection 45 pairs the fresh, spicy opening of pink pepper, cardamom and lavender with the soft sweetness of vanilla, tonka bean and iris, then settles on dry vetiver and sandalwood; it is made for men.

What does Reflection 45 smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and spring, though it is also worn in summer and winter. It is chosen most for nights out and evenings, and it also fits business and daily wear. Voters mostly read its character as masculine and classic.

It opens fresh and spicy, with pink pepper, cardamom and lavender alongside juniper berry. In the heart, neroli, jasmine and iris add a floral, powdery side, while vanilla and tonka bean make it creamy and sweet. The base rests on vetiver, sandalwood, patchouli and frankincense, woody and resinous.
