Amouage Reflection vs Givenchy Xeryus

Near match

Givenchy Xeryus has most of Amouage Reflection's accords, but not at the same strength, so it reads as a near match rather than a copy.

They share 8 of Amouage Reflection's 10 main accords: woody, white floral, aromatic and fresh spicy.

Givenchy Xeryus costs about 24% of the price, around €98 against €407.

On skin they last about as long and project about as far.

What you give up: rosemary, pink pepper and neroli, which Givenchy Xeryus does not list.
