Common questions
Where can I buy Amouage Reflection?
Amouage Reflection is the real designer fragrance, sold at most major retailers. When one of our partners carries it, a direct buy link shows up here. The "smells-like" alternatives below are for anyone who wants the profile for less.
What does Amouage Reflection smell like?
Amouage Reflection opens with Rosemary, Pink Pepper and Petitgrain; a heart of Neroli, Orris, Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang; drying down to Vetiver, Patchouli, Sandalwood and Cedar, from notes Amouage (official) publishes. Those notes read as citrus, aromatic, floral, powdery, spicy, woody, the coarse families Amouage (official) cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.
What's the closest accessible alternative to Reflection?
We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Reflection by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Reflection, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.
Is Reflection for men or women?
Amouage Reflection is listed as a men's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "men's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.
What fragrances share notes with Reflection?
Amouage Reflection 45 (shares Neroli, Orris, Pink Pepper); Creed Fleurissimo (shares Neroli, Orris, Ylang-Ylang); Ralph Lauren Polo Earth (shares Petitgrain, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang). These share specific notes with Reflection, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Reflection's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Reflection, and has its own page.
What fragrances are similar to Reflection?

We rank them by how many of Reflection's cited accords they actually share, weighting rarer families heavier. They're their own fragrances, not copies of Reflection, and each has its own page.
We list the genuine original first, always. Fragrance Hunter earns affiliate commissions on outbound links across the site, on both original bottles and accessible alternatives, at no cost to you. Because we earn the same either way, what pays us never sets the order we rank things in; the ranking answers to the cited accords, not a sponsor (how we pick, and how we earn). Accessible alternatives are imitations of a named original; related fragrances are independent houses' own creations that stand as originals in their own right. We label which is which, and never present an imitation as the original. Prices are indicative, set by the retailer, and change. Accords are coarse scent families cited from brand or retailer sources; an alternative evokes the profile, it is not the same formula.
