I hear your point for sure, but keep in mind you can usually get a 25% off coupon for this house and for Dua as they run them multiple times per year. That means that 60ml of this would cost $45, which comes to a price per ml of $0.75, while even grey market prices for reflection are $150 for 100ml, so a cost of $1.50 per ml. So it’s half the price of a discounter. If you’re buying retail, it’s 25% the price. Plus you can purchase just 60ml at a time if you don’t want to commit to a full 100ml, want to bring it for travel and not violate TSA rules, or just want more variety for your money. Bottom line, if you think this is a good clone (I’ve never smelled this one so I don’t know…) them it’s definitely a better value than the original.

I know there is a lot of controversy on Basenotes about reviewers being paid by Alexandria Fragrances to give good reviews. But I genuinely think this fragrance is a VERY good clone of the reformulated Amouage Reflection Man. I was actually hoping to get more of a vintage ARM vibe, but this is not the case.
Longevity and projection is about the same as the new formulation of Reflection Man. The scent is very lineair though. While ARM goes a little bit creamy in the dry-down, The Run Way will retain the sparkly vibe from the opening. I personally prefer the sparkliness, but to each their own.
While $40/30 ml or $60/60 ml might sound nice, it is still very pricey. Especially for a clone. If you pay 40% more, you get the real deal and I can image a lot of people will go for the original. When you include the shipping costs (especially to Europe), the price difference gets even smaller (30%). So if you are living outside of the USA, go for the original, because who does not want the real juice in an amazing bottle?
All in all, this is a great clone. But a clone should not cost 30% less than the original. What is the point of buying a clone if you are almost paying the same price? Look at Armaf La Club de Nuit Intense. Even though the similarity with Aventus is less, you still get high quality juice for only 20% of the price.
Scent: 10/10
Projection: 7/10
Sillage: 7/10
Longevity: 8/10
Versatility 9/10
Uniqueness: 2/10
Price-performance: 3/10 (Would not buy again)
Total: 7/10 (Still a love for me, because they did the scent really well)

Got a 5 mL sample and am totally impressed, 95% similar to Reflection Man but better in my opinion as it backs off the rosemary note which can be too herbal for my taste. Longevity and projection are both on point. Traded off RM but will be glad to add this romantic men’s floral to my collection.

The versatile perfume par excellence. It smells mainly of white flowers and woods. I do not know reflection man but this seems to be the evolution of Le Male, more manly and more sophisticated. A real champion!
