Being given the gift of time, this contemporary perfume is richer, more potent and highly sought after. With a generous 45% concentration of perfume oil, Reflection 45 Man breaks new ground on this woody floral musk scent. It boldly reinterprets one of the House's iconic signatures through spicy top notes and textured florals that are designed to transcend time and place.
What makes Reflection 45 Exceptional Extrait – Batch J08291 unique?
Introducing Reflection 45 Exceptional Extrait – Batch J08291. A rare production of an Amouage icon, left to age for five extra months beyond standard protocol while the Manufacture waited for the bottles to arrive.  If delays occur, the fragrance is chilled-filtered and stored at low temperatures to preserve its profile. This is common practice, giving ingredients a little extra time to settle into place, allowing the composition to become even more harmonious.
With the duration of five extra months of ageing, Reflection 45 became marginally smoother, while the blend gives off a creamier patina, where the butteriness of the orris takes central stage. The ageing also gave the perfume a slightly deeper orange colour, because of the natural ingredients used within.
Not intentionally, Reflection 45 - Batch J08291 has brightened our days in the Manufacture. By communicating about different batch variations and the aspects of ageing, the House of Amouage reinforces its stance on authenticity and total transparency within the world of perfumery.
Amouage Reflection 45 Man - 45% exceptional oils
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers, or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
