Reflection Woman
Amouage (2007)

I seem to be the only one who really likes this one. I get wet green violets and it dries down to violets in dirt with leafy notes. It's very simple, delicate and pretty. There is indole in there, which I usually hate, but it's mild and the watery violet tempers it.

inoffensive watery, green, springtime flowers. Generic and not worth the price imo.

Fairly safe fresh melon / aquatic / light floral. I didn't enjoy it because it reminded me of Clinique Happy, and once my brain made that connection I couldn't lose it.

The bottle is everything I like in this, still I can't judge it negatively because I know it's just me. It makes me sick, because it's similar to DKNY Be Delicious, which I can't stand. I don't know... It's the green mixed with white floral I guess. Not worth the price.

A rather watery green-dominated opening that develops into a fresh-floral composition. Violet and later jasmine emerge, and it ends in a base of non-descript wood notes. It never turns into anything particularity well-executed as far as the blending of its components is concerned.

On my skin the sillage is soft, the projection limited and I get four hours of longevity on my skin. Looking at its perfomance and the mainly rather standard and unexciting quality of its components, I cannot say that this is an Amouage that is a reflection of high quality on the whole. 2.5/5

Considering that it's supposed to be a fresh floral, it smells surprisingly off. Sheer, glassy, and green, Reflection Woman walks the line between a gaunt floral and something from the Macy's counter. It accomplishes both well in that the floral note is clear and direct (slightly soapy, not too sweet), and the aquatic note isn't totally hideous (no headache). It does smell watery with the sourness of cucumber, and that's part of what makes it smell acrid, I suspect. While it does smell quite natural, it's strangely off-putting for such a crystalline, fragile affair. It's like a minimal arrangement in desperate need of new water.
