What does Reflect smell like?

The top pairs citrus notes and bergamot with marine and ozonic notes, giving a crisp, watery start. Rosemary and clary sage in the heart add a spicy, herbal turn. The base of amberwood, amber and cedarwood leaves it woody and warm, with a faintly synthetic edge among the accords.

It is a men's scent. Voters rate both longevity and sillage as weak, though the number of votes is small, so that picture is tentative. Its fresh, aquatic character suits light everyday wear. Zara Absolutely Dark and Coach Coach Blue have a close profile.
