A light watery fresh garden dewdrop feel. A lemony nuance (from the magnolia) with a light spicy pepper undercurrent begins the experience. The freesia adds in to give this almost a waterlily tone. The fresh jasmine marries with the magnolia in the heart, and it is indeed a delicate beauty.This would be a spectacular moisturizer/fragrance duo in warmer weather. Not a lot in this genre done this well…and Roucel did a wonderful job on Reflection.
supabo – :
I typically don’t like amouage scents but Reflection and Honor are my most wanted fragrances in the house. this is just beautiful floral green scent which has a great great longevity and sillage.
امواج رفلکشن برخلاف سایر عطرهای بدبوی برند 🙂 رایحه گلهای سفید زیر بارون رو تداعی می کنه. از امواج انتظار نمیرفت بتونه عطری به این خوشبویی اون هم با ماندگاری و پخش بالا اما همچنان رایحه معتدل تولید کنه
diabetwebbur – :
Watery floral. A glassy, melon-y green floral. Not aquatic in the normal sense – this isn’t airy, ozonic – but truly watery. This is very much like those cucumber fragrances, but much better done. As it dries down it does develop a slightly shampoo-y type note, as is common with these kinds of fragrances, but it never gets overwhelming or headache-inducing. Pretty unusual for a house that is famous for it’s rich, sensual offerings. It’s not for me but it’s a very well done example of the genre; beautifully structured and long lasting. If you’re a fan of the house you may want to approach with caution as it’s quite different from what you’re going to be used to. Reflection is a very good name; cool and contemplative.
Boron – :
This is a nice green, semi-aquatic floral scent with a warm musky base and slight ozone nuances. It is clean and easy to wear without becoming cloying or bitter in the drydown. The composition is balanced in that it doesn’t have ever veer into overripe cucumber territory. Overall it smells more like a nicely scented functional product such as a shampoo, refreshing face wash or a hand sanitizer.
mon_rod – :
I’m getting a sweet floral cucumber thing here, very fresh light and clean. Not my style, but still very nice for a balmy summer nights. I’m sure I’ll use up my sample, though I wouldn’t purchase a fb.
dark5522 – :
In my tester notes: (Nice, but boring. No real longevity on a cold day. Smells great in my hair, though. Not worth a FB.)
10:20 – Apparently I didn’t even remember I had already tried this and the first thing I thought was “blah”.
I’m going to layer it with whatever this Hermes is that I have laying around for some reason because it appears to have a pepper note that this Amouage needs.
I checked, Jour d`Hermes Parfum doesn’t have anything even resembling pepper listed. Drat my shoddy and misleading nose.
Not every scent has to be a winner, and I guess I don’t have to smell super interesting every day. This will be a blah day.
Spectre – :
One of the remarkable attributes of Reflection is its longevity. I get 4 hours before it fades to a skin scent and that’s pretty good since I tend to absorb perfume.
If this was simply a Summer green aquatic, with violets, magnolia and iris it might seem to be lacking originality, but I love the transition hours later to the sandalwood and cedar base.
Starts off very green with cucumber, makes me think of linens drying in the sun. Reflection can be worn in the heat and still retain its presence without suffocating anyone nearby. This is a compliment getter from both sexes.
sasha1982 – :
Reflection starts as a pronounced cucumber scent which is lovely and fresh. This is one of my favorite ways to create a watery note. I love a watery cucumber or water lotus but am usually put off by cascalone. In the middle notes, there are some light floral elements, but it’s never overly flowery. The fresh cucumber never disappears entirely, but it evolves down to powdery iris and some light woods.
Is it a dupe of DKNY Be Delicious? No. Are they reasonably close? Yes. DKNY has a more prominent fruit note from the apple and citrus. The florals aren’t identical either. But the heaviest components are the same, cucumber, magnolia, iris, amber, sandalwood and cedar. I greatly prefer the Amorage, but that’s just my preference. I can see someone liking the more fruity DKNY (or liking its low price point).
Reflection has a modest dispersion and good longevity. One of my favorite Amourage fragrances.
ner144InsuffBooni – :
I gave it two sprays on each lower arm and sniffed. Initially it was all clean, soapy, slightly green, and aquatic. Nice, I thought, moderately strong… but is it actually worth the price? I went about doing some work and an hour later, I gave it another sniff… mmm… it had developed into a kind of lily or jasmine scent. So far, so good. And then, my husband called me up for lunch so I left my desk and walked into the tropical 32C heat in the midday sun, opened the passenger side of the car, and sat in. First thing he says to me: “Mmm.. fragrant!”. Ah, that’s a good sign. Just to be sure, I quizzed him – ‘fragrant’ as in good or ‘fragrant’ as in overpowering? He says it’s good. Goodie!
So we went for lunch in the heat, and as I walked past a man I caught a gorgeous whiff of wood. I thought it was him but then the man left yet I kept on getting gentle whiffs of THE MOST beautiful fragrance before finally realizing – it’s coming from me!! I think this is the kind of scent that needs heat to develop fully. If it’s winter, you’ll need to get in front of the heater/fire to coax out the final wood phase.
It doesn’t remind me of DKNY’s Be Delicious because that one gave me terrible rhinitis (watery eyes, itchy nose). This one did not.
mellabeno – :
Yep, it’s almost the same scent as DKNY Be Delicious. Same perfumer, same style. Someone posted on fragrantica.ru that she wore Reflection to work and all her colleagues mistook it for DKNY apple. So why deny the obvious? No need to get defensive about the fact that your expensive perfume smells just like some popular lower-end designer frag. Nevertheless, it’s a nice scent.
elfd – :
I’m a hard Amouage fan and i love Reflection, it is my go-to fragrance on really hot days. It is fresh, floral, and I don’t know why the first few minutes always makes me think of a sweet fresh cut cucumber, longevity on me even in super warm days is outstanding. I love it!
kichman23 – :
If DKNY green apple and Un Jardin Sur Le Nil had a love child, this would be it. The opening is similar to DKNY green apple with a bright green magnolia burst and reminds me of dewy spring mornings. The Magnolia lingers and remains freshly ozonic and aquatic. It’s a lovely spring scent but a bit too green for my taste.
5/10
Insannysard – :
I can’t smell the freshness, I can smell lots of oriental notes instead. It isn’t heavy but it isn’t summery either. Nice, but not exceptional.
sprinter_man – :
I am not so fond of acquatics generally, but this one I like. Magnolia at its best. It is clean watery and with a shy presence that lasts the whole day on me actually. Soft and no sharpness, no sourness to me. I don’t get much of the other notes other than in the top-phse, but that is all right, or even good actually. It makes it sort of tidy. Nice.
zxcasd – :
haha… DKNY apple. They might be similar…from afar. But then many perfumes are similar from afar, aren’t they? A good friend of mine has drawn my attention to this ‘similarity’ so I had to try it myself, did the side by side. Yes – in the first burst I see how they may be similar. When that dissipates, no. DKNY apple has a plasticky smell then, while Reflection woman just starts to bloom with its magnolia melon dewyness. Everyone to their own, for those who think they smell the same, go ahead, enjoy the DK 😉 I won’t be around to tell!
1986ira – :
It has its quality but the smell is almost the same as DKNY be deliciuos..so why the hell to pay the price while everyone arround think you use dkny apple
BoBdegandaexhize – :
I love Reflection Woman by Amouage, and I feel very much that my experience of it is the same as that of the reviewer below: Milk&Belladonna. It is a beautiful, silvery flower garden, with all the gorgeous fragrances of many fresh and delicious and entrancing petals, with all the other lovely smells of a green and luscious garden, with a pond nearby. Moist, damp and yet sparkling with life. It’s really splendid. And very long lasting and strong. It is a great perfume, and I love it dearly.
piekThese – :
I’m a man and I had a chance to try this on my skin.
The quality is top notch just like any Amouage perfume, and the sillage and longevity are great too.
It’s very floral and fresh, with a hint of Amber and musk in the background.
It reminds me of other women perfumes I smelt before so it’s not ground breaking in that aspect, I’m sure you can find similar notes in other less expensive perfumes, but it’s a nice smell nonetheless.
This one strikes me with quality but it doesn’t with uniqueness.
Aerohoplenerittx – :
I like this, but in a different way than I like most of my other scents. People have mentioned you get the entire water experience and I would say that’s right. The flowers are there, but so is the pond and all the greenery that comes with it. That being said, I do like it. But I have gone two full months without using up my scentbird sample and I would never invest what the perfume costs. I will buy expensive from time to time, but this was a very subtle miss.
fiesta58 – :
This is a true love for me, intense, emotive, green, floral, watery almost, complex with a good woodsy base, very natural. Long lasting, everything a perfume should be.
I have 100+ niche samples for swap within Europe – updated spreadsheet of samples on my profile, get in touch!
nasevan – :
Sample n.3 from my Amouage set.
I usually don’t like fresh florals, or white florals, but I’ll try to be objective. While I strongly dislike the watery opening in this, the florals that dominate the heart are so softly elegant that I’ll be happy to use up my sample. Subtle and understated are good adjectives for this fragrance, and since sillage and longevity are great for such a delicate scent, I believe it’s a good choice for those who like this type of perfumes.
Burtalkro – :
I purchase this in Feb 2008 in the Middle East at an airport, this was my first bottle of Amouage. I love the scent of the white floral and woody notes that cling to my ph skin type.I can wear this for day and night for late fall/winter. I wear this on very special occasions because it cost me $75 and now $350.
Wollwerine – :
This reminds me Be Delicious by DKNY, not Amouage enough. And this will not punch you in a face like some Amouage might do, maybe good for your first bottle of this brand but not good enough for Amouage lovers.
tarkos – :
This is often described as a “light” or “calm” fragrance, but to me it is more of a fullbodied lively floral. I am beginning to understand that bottle design and interpret it more like quicksilver rather than a silver water surface. Because this certainly carries the association of something “light”, yet it is so long lasting, with such wonderful sillage, it has such a strong presence, that it is more of a heavy metal in disguise as something airy & elusive- like quicksilver from a broken thermometer.
The floral notes are well pronounced, dewy and oozing a vitality that again contradicts the purported “lightness”. The freesias, the magnolia and greenery around them are not merely a wispy bouquet, but a whole botanical garden, a greenhouse of massive proportions with a ceiling of stained glass windows suspended on a surprisingly firm construction somewhere high above, with living creatures inhabiting the thick foliage. The leaves are firm, sharp and yet there is something almost sweet in the air. Perhaps “light” is a good descriptor, but not as in “opposite of heavy” but as in: the energy of a star providing warmth and sustenance.
It´s not a jungle of notes, wild and untamed, it has been arranged, constructed… orchestrated, and with great success. I have honestly not come across anything this well blended in ages. It is not the most original composition, quite the opposite, but goodness gracious, this blew my socks off! A fantastically blended summer perfume if there ever was one.
brat-d77 – :
For me,reflection is a green,aquatic floral..not that typical aquatic fragrances,salty and watery, no,this is all about rain washed floral..imagine a cool spring day,sky is blue,bright and sunny but sun is pale and can’t project much heat,there was a shower couple of hours ago and now flower petals are still wet,also their green leaves and woods.everything is fresh,pure and clean,you can inhale cool air in your lung and enjoy it’s freshness..dominant florals are freesia,magnolia and violet,delicate and natural,their not sharp,heady or sweet..this is aura of natural flowers in a wet and green nature,nothing more,nothing less
Green,aquatic florals are not my type but I like reflection,all of us need such a fragrance for hot days,it’s name and the silver bottle suit it perfectly,though a glass bottle would be properbe the same rtoo
I can’t imagine an age group for it,a light floral with a green undertone and a watery edge,is suitable for all ages,it’s not girly,happy and playful but it’s calm and refreshing in a classy feminine way
Reflection is the lightest Amouage scent I’ve tested till now,it’s not an Arabic kind of scent,heavy and oriental
Longevity is really good on me,sillage is not that much massive but it lefts a fresh floral trail behind you
❤❤❤
آمواج رفلکشن برای من یه عطر فلورال سبز،آکواتیک هست
نه از آکواتیک های رایج، بیشتر منظورم فضای مرطوب عطر هست
یه روز خنک بهاری رو تصور کنید،شب قبل بارون باریده اما الان آزمون کاملا آبی و آفتابی هست،،آفتاب کم جون اوایل بهار،همه جا رو کاملا روشن کرده اما ملایم تر از اونه ک بتونه هوا روبرو کنه،،گلبرگهای گلها هنوز خیس هست و رایحه همین گلبرگهای خیس مگنولیا و فریزیا و کمی هم بنفشه و یاس،همراه با عطر سبز برگهاشون و سبزی باغ و رایحه ملایمی از چوب،با وزش نسیم خنک بهاره به مشام میرسه..همه چیز، باطراوت و پاک و شفاف هست..آمواج رفلکشن مثل همون نسیم بهاری هست با خنکای ملایم و عطر لطیف گلها و گیاهان خیس که تو ریه هاتون فرو برده و ازش لذت میبردید
نت های غالب،فریزیا، مگنولیا،و بنفشه هستن در بستری از روایح سبز،روایح گلی لطیف و طبیعی هستن،هیچ چیز تند،سنگین، شیرین و یا قوی و سرکش نیست..
عطرهای سبز،آکواتیک به هیچ وجه مورد علاقه من نیستن اما آمواج رفلکشن رو دوست دارم،همه ما احتیاج به یه همچین عطر خنک و لطیف گلی داریم
بین آمواج های زنانه مختلف ک تابحال تست کردم،رفلکشن، ملایم تربنشون بوده و بهیچوجه حال و هوای عربی نداره،انتخاب نام و همچنین رنگ نقره ای شیشه عطر بنظر من خیلی پرمسماست،، رفلکشن مثل انعکاسی از طبیعت نقره فام و لطافت زنانی ست
روی پوست من ماندگاری خوبی داره و پخش اون،هرچند چندان قوی نیست اما رد بوی محو و ملیحی از گلهای مرطوب و طبیعت سبز بهاره پشت سرتون ب جا میذاره
بشخصه ب هیچ وجه نمیتونم محدوده سنی خاصی براش درنظر بگیرم،،باوجود اینکه عطر شاد و پرهیاهویی نیست و ملایم و آرومه، بااین حال ظرافت ملایمش اون رو مناسب سنین پایینتر هم میکنه
mixan.mch – :
Amouage Reflection almost trembles it’s so delicate.
Reflection is the composition that does magnolia justice. It’s floral perfection. The bar is set here with a challenge to other fragrance houses to remind us of just how exquisite magnolia can be in the hands of the right perfumer.
It opens beside a clear spring at dawn. It’s rained the night before and there’s a single magnolia in bloom. It’s, promising and floral fragile. On my skin, it remains exactly that way. It’s translucent, limpid and yes, watery. The notes, however, are distinctive. They present with a crystalline clarity typical of fragrance notes with greater authority and command. The greens in Reflection are grassy, nature sweetened. They lack even the smallest amount of sharpness. The freesia is a supporting role only on my skin. The woods arrive late, which allow the feeling of magnolia frailty to remain.
While not an aquatic, Reflection is more fine boned water nymph than the southern belle typically associated with magnolia. ‘Natural’, watered, undisturbed, flowing, willowy and feminine, wonderfully, beautifully feminine.
The longevity, considerate.
The projection, friendly.
The magnolia, perfect.
rus 28 – :
I’ve deleted my old review of this to update now that I’ve worn it more often. Originally, I’d said that it was very nice but not interesting enough to be full bottle worthy. Well, I was very wrong! So wrong that’s it’s now become my signature scent.
I thought it was just a green floral aquatic like a million others, but on wearing it more and trying to find a cheaper equivalent, I’ve realised that there isn’t anything like this out there, it’s a lot more unique than I first gave it credit for.
It opens with a fresh, dewy green snap. It’s so very green and just a touch watery.
Then we get the floral heart. The magnolia is most noticeable to me, but thankfully it’s uplifting. I often find magnolia to be melancholy but here, it’s sparkling.
The base is ever so slightly woody with just a hint of warm resin.
The name is perfect. This is such a clear, crystalline perfume, it’s peering at the white clouds on the reflection of a serene pond.
Medium sillage, around 8 hours longevity.
olegkaka – :
I found this in line with Ciel. A watery light but cleaner fragrance. Having more a fresh floral and green feel. It’s soft and calm. It’s linear for me. Transparent is a good word for this one. Reflection is such a fitting name. It is fresh and delicate. It brings to mind viewing ones reflection in calm still clear water. With flower petals floating around. Very beautiful fragrance. The scent is of the whole flower. But the green and floral float in harmony. If you love light clean beautiful aquatic feel floral….this is for you. It’s beautiful.
balabas123 – :
It’s an aquatic floral. A tropical vibe. Melony freesia with something ultimately smelling like it is all polluted with hot tar. It’s more like a bold color photograph of an exotic river than a muted watercolor of a natural pool. It’s too intensely aquatic for my taste(which tends to not like aquatic/marine notes)and the fragrance as a whole became cloying to the point of queasiness so I had to wash it off. I just revisited this sample as a comparison to Diptyque’s new Florabellio and there are some definite similarities. Both could easily cross over into mainstream perfumery which is OK for Diptyque’s price point. Even if Reflection didn’t nauseate me, there is nothing about it that seems deserving of its hefty price tag.
a_s2010 – :
Considering that it’s supposed to be a fresh floral, it smells surprisingly off. Sheer, glassy, and green, Reflection Woman walks the line between a gaunt floral and something from the Macy’s counter. It accomplishes both well in that the floral note is clear and direct (slightly soapy, not too sweet), and the aquatic note isn’t totally hideous (no headache). It does smell watery with the sourness of cucumber, and that’s part of what makes it smell acrid, I suspect. While it does smell quite natural, it’s strangely off-putting for such a crystalline, fragile affair. It’s like a minimal arrangement in desperate need of new water.
fpv993InsuffBooni – :
A light green fragrance, reminiscent of cucumbers and watermelon, as others have noted. Only lasted a few hours on me. Pleasant, but not memorable. Good for a spring morning.
ckelevra – :
What I like about Reflection is its nice balance of yin and yang. It has the tangy green notes & freesia that work well with magnolia flower’s sweet scent. Reflection is more of a strong green floral with just a hint of aquatic. Makes me think of water lilies on the Nile.
A little bit goes a long way and easily lasted the entire day on my skin, quite impressive. A bit more sharp than I like, so I layer it with Dia Woman to achieve perfection.
lil822speagoessenda – :
I just gave a sample away for christmas to a female friend of mine and thought, that prompted me to try my sample again and I loved it.
Really fresh opening of watery melon with sweet florals, jasmine and magnolia. Usually I’d think something like this was nice but ultimately feminine, thin and lacking depth and quality but this is Amouage and Maurice Roucel we’re talking about here.
The slightly ambery base and drydown of sandalwood is classy and adds a bit of warmth to what is a fresh and flyaway type of scent without it.
Don’t get me wrong though this is not something I’d wear and maybe those woods come out a little more on my skin than they would on a womans?
Still if you’re a fan of lightly floral stuff that’s a cut above in longevity and projection terms then look no further.
marla67 – :
Refreshing and invigorating, fresh and delicate, a lot lot lighter than all the rest of the collection, much much love!
Haker – :
This opens fresh and aquatic, it’s light, refreshing, subtle and understated. The dominant note on me was initially violet and watery cucumber. The freesia and magnolia are in the background and add a touch of sweetness. I didn’t get any cedar or spices, to me this was all light gentle floral. Calm, peaceful, pretty but not particularly striking to me. It wouldn’t offend anyone, but it wouldn’t catch anyone’s attention either. It’s pleasant, but when my sample bottle is empty I won’t be replacing it with a full one. Having said that, I wore it on a cool, damp day and it may be different in dry heat. Longevity on me wasn’t as long as others seem to have found it, about 3 hours max.
djpapa – :
Beautiful, uncluttered and clean aquatic floral. I like it a lot but this type of fragrances doesn’t generally speak to me. I’ve had a few, perhaps not as beautiful as Reflection, but nevertheless I never used them. So I will not add it to my wantlist 🙂
gavr160970 – :
This is the scent of a quiet whisper and a gentle smile. pleasing watery floral. Smell of clean floral soft and inoffensive. Not soapy. Watery soft clean floral. Pretty nice. Not to dismiss this calm appealing scent as less than a winner because its low key. Not all beautiful things need to be whistles and sirens. There is beautiful in large and in soft, a time and place for every thing. So fresh floral easily a unisex. Yes floral but fresh is unisex pleasant scent for anyone. Like this day time scent. If someone is looking for subtly and not displeasing or cloying for a sporty or office parfum this may be something to consider. Subtlety made from quality.
haz66 – :
I can see why Reflection hasn’t gained as much popularity as other more complex and powerful Amouage scents. However I still believe it shouldn’t be dissed for being different.
It opens up as very realistic gentle spring florals – primarily magnolias and freesias but when I smell it very close to my skin I can detect real violet! As if it was just picked whole from the forest floor with leaves and stems attached.
The whole composition is very tender, youthful and understated…but unlike other sheer spring scents it stays on my skin for good 6 hours and has moderate projection.
alchyornyj87 – :
Nice, watery, flowery, fresh, pure, and clean, but there is no “WOW”. It also does not feel oriental at all. If I had guessed the origin of this perfume by its scent, my guess would have been on Japan, for example Shiseido.
alexeleseev – :
This is very appropriately named…the opening smells wet, like flowers and greenery surrounding a clear pond you would come upon in the middle of nowhere after a cool rain. I can actually picture the reflection of the surrounding flowers and greenery in the water in my mind when I first spray it. But for me, the party sort of ends there.
For starters, you must like freesia to enjoy this because there is a very heavy dose of it in the opening. The floral notes combine to create a sharp lily of the valley type scent which is not for everyone. It softens up a bit later with the magnolia coming through a little more but this is definitely a strong white floral so those sensitive should take precaution. I happen to be one of those people and this immediately gave me a stuffy nose.
IVAN_II – :
Très vert. Il me fait penser dans son petit côté “herbes fraichement coupées” à Herba Fresca de Guerlain.
Parfum de printemps. Des premiers rayons de soleil.
Très agréable le jour pour la fraîcheur qu’il apporte à votre peau.

Amouage Reflection
Recently, I took a young artist to his first figure drawing salon. He’s extremely talented, but has had to repress his talent because his father doesn’t approve. As the models arranged themselves into poses, my kid took out his sketchbook and pen, and began. With each new pose, I watched him go slowly into a state of bliss, an altered consciousness, a state of rapture.
The same thing happens to me when I dance and when I meditate; for my mother, its flowers; for my best friend, music; for others, food. For me, the ecstasy ripples out, like a water lily opening in the moonlight, unfolding, opening, allowing, growing, and being. Like standing in perfect stillness in the moonlight, being enveloped by the light of the full moon, feeling a sense of awe, a sense of oneness, and immersed in beauty.
Until now, I hadn’t realized that a perfume could take me there, but Reflection has. In a moment, I was watching the ripples of water on the pond at Giverny at dusk. I saw the water rippling through the waterlilies and I watched them open up to the moonlight, and the breeze, opening up for me to capture their essence and breathe in their perfect beauty. This scent took me deep, deep within the depths of that flowered water, deep within myself, while at the same time remaining fully conscious.
To say that I have fallen in love with this fragrance is an understatement. This fragrance took me to the deepest depths of stillness on a quiet, reflective, moonlit path through the heart of a flower. Simply stunning.
Thomas_D – :
Nice cucumber beginning. Then a delicate fresh plant smell. Like being in a greenhouse. Nicest Amouage I have tried. Clean and different.
UnusDies – :
This is absolutely beautiful! I can’t stop smelling it. It reminds me of linden blossoms, although this note is not listed here. I love the smell of linden
and have been looking for a perfume with this note that I might like. Bond no 9 Eau de Noho is beautiful, but this is much better!
DiodeMouddy – :
I’ve smelled quite a few green scents, I like them, but this scent puts them all to shame. Side by side comparisons have proved, to me, that the quality of Reflection’s green is superior to all others. Except SL Sa Majeste La Rose, but the sillage and longevity is inferior to Reflection. It’s important to add that Reflection is not as strong as other fragrances by Amouage.
I think I’d like to have the lotion and the solid compact of this scent!
Jorewal – :
I like this scent because it is a grown up slightly candied fresia, fragrance. I don’t get any sharp green notes. I think the fresia is pulling through mainly throughout, yet tempered by a VERY GENTLE touch of amber.
Platonx – :
The mix of magnolia, violet and green notes smell like wet lily-of-the-valley and lilac-after-rain blend on my skin! The seller at the shop had to admit it with surprise. It was pleasant during the first hour, then this similarity with lilac became somewhat nauseous, unfortunately. Started to smell much cheaper then it is. Not my cup of tea.
emilmus – :
First spray did not impress me. It’s very light, almost aquatic. It conjures up a winter morning, crisp, grey and cold, so chilly I can see my breath. Reflection smells like that breath. About 15 minutes in, I start to detect a little warmth., perhaps the jasmine and sandalwood. It stays very light throughout.
ewstigney – :
It took me ages to figure out what I can compare this perfume to and finally I came with two methaphores:
1) for those of you familiar with Dia I can say that it smells like ‘frozen’ Dia or like a reflection of Dia in a lake with its surface covered in a thin layer of ice
2) imagine you are walking to work on a frosty morning. It’s winter and it’s just before the dawn, not night, but not day either. And then you realise the person walking in frot of you carries a bunch of freshly cut flowers and you can smell them together with the chilly air.
And finally – I have no idea how lotus flower smells but I would imagine it could smell like Reflection.
rafik_92 – :
I have smelled this before… And it was not an amouage, not even a niche fragrance.
May be whiskey. Drambuie, in fact. Hated both Drambuie and Reflection. Both smell rubber tires to me. No go.
alex…….. – :
This starts out as such a beautiful watery floral. It has a definite wet or dewy flowers effect abut a half hour in. Just divine top notes, so beautiful. About 2 hours in I get a sour violet and wood note that ruin the scent for me. Hopefully this goes away after a while. My skin reacts oddly to florals sometimes so I’ll have to wait and see how it goes.
marica – :
A present from a friend. What with the name of this scent, for me it really is a reflection of another scent I had and enjoyed, My Givenchy.
Ramilisl – :
Floral fragrance!
I guess this fragrance smells the water violet note and jasmine, because I don’t feel the magnolia or freesia notes. Actually, it smells like lilac mixed with lily of the valley a little bit.
Too uninteresting for its price( Nothing special.
sandro.byly – :
You should have warm weather for this to unfold all its petals, otherwise it does not smell other than a nice freesia floral. So try it when it is warmer and it will leave you gaping 🙂
pisarev79 – :
Amouage Reflection is watery, very light, musky. For me it’s a daytime smell in spring or a perfume suitable for my work as a teacher. Actually, it’s too light for my personal taste, but I like it enough to use it. I don’t think I will buy a new one after this one is finished.
Xeroxkyhio – :
This is the first fresh scent from Amouage, what I ever smelled. The first thing, what I feel is cucumber! This is not the first time, when I feel not listed notes in the Amouage compositions..:) The second thing: Avon Be Spontaneous…I don’t want to say: these are copy of each other, but the similarity is very marked.
Because I’m a ” Be Spontaneous”-lover, I love this frag too, but it’s more than overpriced. The sillage and lasting power the same with Avon product. Unfortunately Avon is discounted Be Spontaneous and very hard to find, but if you have luck, you able to buy this smell less than half price than Amouage.
cheve3d – :
I just bought the 50 ml bottle in kuweit airport for an incredible good price – 140$.The seeling girl insisted that is a good price for Amouage it looks like she was right. The perfume is great indeed, elegant, light, sheer and musky i would say. I would have liked more boldness to it thou. It has good longevity on my skin. Love it and cherish it, its an amouage after all!

Amouage REFLECTION WOMAN opens with a distinctive watery greenishness that gradual cedes to the dominant violet in this composition, which expands over time and abides in the drydown along with an only slightly woody base.
REFLECTION is a beautiful violet-focused perfume in some ways reminiscent of Bond no 9 EAU DE NOHO, though the linden blossom has been replaced here by certain unnamed “green” and aquatic notes, in addition to magnolia and freesia. REFLECTION is also less bright, which might be good news for some who feel overwhelmed by the Bond composition.
I, on the other hand, prefer the lush vibrancy and megaphonicity of EAU DE NOHO to the more refined subtlety of REFLECTION. But I do like this creation very much. Good work, Maurice!
