Reflection 45 wasn't for me, I have a fairly large collection, 50+ bottles at this point and perhaps it was my skin chemistry but was underwhelmed with the various notes. Wanted to like it based on all the positive reviews but didn't find it unique nor particularly special. Maybe I received a bad sample but certainly not worth $500, better extraits in the same price point IMO.

If you like MKF, I would highly encourage you to try their extraits, specifically Oud Satin Mood and Bacarat Rogue 540, the former being one of my favorites and never see anyone else wear - it is the bottle to the left of my large Bacarat. Longevity is WILD, I can smell it on my clothes a week later.

My every day is Bleu de Chanel EDT.
I really do like Dior sauvage also. I have the parfum, but I think I got the wrong bottle. Do you guys prefer the sauvage EDP, or parfum? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I think people are saying I stink without saying it out loud. I’ve used Acqua di Parma and YSL before but not familiar with the others. Anyone use these? Sorry for the side photo. Don’t know why it does that.

I prefer the extrait, despite the price difference. Personally, I find the extrait not only lasts longer with better projection but brings out more of the underlying notes. With the OSM, give it a minute to settle down on your skin before judgement, it will open up to a much more complex fragrance than the initial turkish rose will lead on - make sure not to confuse the satin with silk, the latter IMO is much inferior. It projects a level of class and sophistication without being too much in your face, definitely more of an evening scent.

A colleague I see a few times a year always wears baccarat rouge 540. Very distinctive, great projections, pretty noticeable. This summer I was at a wedding & saw my niece. I picked up the unmistakable fragrance on her & asked about it. She was wearing a clone, made by Dossier called Ambery Saffron. It was dead on, couldn't believe it. Best of all it's like $40 or so. Recently picked up their GIT inspired cologne, also dead on. |

I understand the sentiment fully. But I will say this - in the fragrance space, the original doesn't remain the original for very long. Perfume reformulations happen CONSTANTLY, and almost always in the direction of cheaper ingredients when initiated by the manufacturer. Sometimes it is a regulatory thing or a sourcing thing, but normally it is for cost effectiveness. So I would say that 8 year after the original, it is likely no longer that anyway.

On the rare occasion where I use a scent, it's either Creed Green Irish Tweed or Aventus EDP. Most of the time I go without.

My Wire picked up TF Vanilla Sex to add to her collection. Smells Great! Might be a good gift if you like it.

Denim - for the man who doesn't need to try too hard
Dan PS. This may only make sense in the UK.
