Amouage Reflection 45

Mostly sweet resinous warmth, soft and slightly powdery. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on lavender, benzoin and juniper berries, moves through iris, jasmine and neroli, and settles on olibanum, sandalwood and myrrh.

• lavender: clean herbal flower, cooling and slightly soapy
• benzoin: sweet balsamic resin, like vanilla with a smoky underside

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
