By the editors · 2 min readReflection Man opens with a bracing clash of bitter petitgrain and aromatic rosemary, laced with the faint heat of pink pepper. It's green and unsettled at first, almost medicinal in its sharpness, before the neroli begins to soften the edges. Within minutes, jasmine and ylang-ylang emerge, surprisingly full-bodied for a masculine composition, lending a creamy floralcy that hovers between cologne and white-flower intensity.
The drydown pulls back toward restraint. Sandalwood and vetiver anchor the florals with woody, slightly smoky composure, while cedar and patchouli add structure without heaviness. What lingers is contemplative rather than bold—a man in a linen shirt at dusk, or the quiet end of a long conversation.
Best suited to those comfortable with florals in their wardrobe, Reflection Man occupies an unusual space: formal but not stiff, refined but never cold. It asks for patience and rewards it with uncommon balance.
