Finally, the sacred blend of Frankincense and Opoponax forms an ethereal veil, leaving a lasting impression as captivating as the vast, untamed wilderness. If you’re searching for an Amouage Reflection 45 dupe, this is the fragrance that encapsulates its essence with unmatched sophistication.

Warm and woody, pulls you in with a brightness that reminds me of a sunset over the water. If you want to show a presence, and let your fragrance announce you. Subtle and seductive for a mature man.
The OG 45 is my number 1 fragrance of all time but lets be real, it costs an arm and a leg even on discounters (assuming it isn't sold out on all discounters shortly after it's restocked...).
I didn't have high hopes prior to ordering this. Although, after receiving it in the mail and trying it for the first time, I was blown away. I expected it to resemble 45 but I didn't expect it to be this very close! It has the same depth and feel as the OG 45, and as someone that wears the OG 45 regularly, I truthfully don't believe I'd be able to tell a difference if someone were to wear this around me.
I'd actually be ok wearing this as a substitute which is very rare, as I'm usually always in favor of wearing the original versus an inspiration. I can now happily wear this and save my original 45 for special occasions or to just simply save money as a whole.
As mentioned above, the original 45 is always sold out and I can assure you that if more were to try this inspiration, this would ABSOLUTELY be sold out every time it's restocked as well. It's just so close to the original and the for the price, it can't be beat.
I'm truly in awe over this one.
A masterful homage to Amouage’s Reflection 45, Dua’s version radiates elegance and complexity. The neroli and jasmine burst with luminous clarity, while creamy sandalwood and iris glide seamlessly into a rich, musky base. The extrait concentration amplifies depth without compromising balance. Technically refined, emotionally resonant—this is cloning done with conviction and craft.
For me, this is a return to the amouage DNA. When considering reflection man, it was a departure from the Amouage FNA. Reflection 45bis MUCH MORE my preference. It has that wearable middle eastern charm that's so unique to Amouage. Stronger, richer, denser, muskier (is that a word) & more masculine...top notch perfumery for my nose.
Recently ordered a sample of this fragrance and I instantly fell in love.
With a single spritz from the sample bottle, I can still smell it well over 24h after applying it.
The scent and its projection are just perfect. Not too sweet, deep, complex, and what ypu leave behind is a subtle but lingering promise of more.
This is the kind of scent you can pick up on if someone walks past you if you walk through life with an open nose, but it isn't so overbearing that people won't want to be stuck in an elevator with you. Truly a beautiful balance and a fragrance which remains captivating from start to finish.
My only regret is not immediately buying an entire bottle of it, and I sincerely pray that it will be restocked as quickly as possible
My new number 1
Holy moly, I thought I was set with my top 5 fragrances. Boy, was I wrong. This just blew that list away. I’m a big fan of desert reflection, so much so, that I still have my old bottle from 2016. This one though, is a BEAST!!! It pretty much still manages to keep the same DNA, but is deeper, and richer. Like the title says, it’s my new number 1 fragrance in my lineup.
Fantastic
I was comparing this one separate hands with my Amouage Reflection 45. On the opening there’s a slight difference, but on drydown, it was hard to tell which was which. Can’t believe how much I spent on AR45.
A Definitely must buy!
So I bought Dessert Reflection first and love it. Then I bought this one, and I was blown away. It was definitely much stronger, and I even got more compliments. Go ahead and push the button!
Excellent !
I emptied a decant of the OG a weeek ago, I remember the fragance.
How it smells? Imagine Reflection Man but a bit herbal, not loosing the reflection effect but putting a delicate visual effect on the mirror.
It smells very close to the OG, no one smelling you should be able to tell the difference, and the performance as well, is close to the original which is really good due its 45% oil.
My experience with this frag wasn't great but good considering it's a dupe. That being said, it's not to loud but pleasant and can be worn all year round! I have worn this five days and received two compliments. No more then 6 sprays but this of course works for me and to each his or her own.
WoW......not surprised, but extremely well done!!
If you love the original Reflections then this is a home run. Just added depth and resins to the original Reflections DNA. I like depth so it's a winner for me.
