Great review, enjoyed. I've just tried them side by side and the main difference I get is that Reflection Man is sweeter, I don't know which flower is more prominent, but it is almost a peach-like note. Shiyaaka is slightly more male leaning in my opinion (although I love sweet scents myself) and also slightly fuzzier (Reflection man is as smooth as butter). The overall balance of the notes to my nose is 90% similar. For the price, Shiyaaka is brilliant and possibly even preferable if you dislike sweetness in a scent.
it's the neroli that goes crazy in the beginning. it smells like minty toothpaste, but the drydown of this is super magical, really similar to reflection man which i also own.
Got my bottle a few days ago, 45€ in Germany. And it’s a pretty new batch 7/23. To my nose it smells like a cheap clone of JPG Le Male (you could buy clones like that in my gym 10 years ago for 15€). Is it just because it’s new? And need some time for development? Because Reflection man to my nose (sprayed it 2 weeks ago at the airport) was way better and remembers me 0% to JPG
I have both Reflection and Shiyaaka (unsure when the batches were made, but bought both recently) and I tested them side by side. To me, Shiyaaka gets close with some aspects but Reflection just has this something extra which just pops - it really stands out. I'm not sure what it is, may just be the amazing quality of Amouage but there's this divine quality in Reflection that Shiyaaka is missing. It's like Shiyaaka has the foundation of Reflection Man but forgot to add the magic, if that makes sense. Reflection to me seems a little sweeter and Shiyaaka is a bit 'dirtier'. Reflection Man seems to project a bit more, too, whereas Shiyaaka seems closer to the skin. Longevity-wise I'm not sure yet will have to do more testing.
@@stevensamuel2957 now after 4-5 months it’s pretty good scent. It’s definitely not a le male clone and really close to reflection man. I also have reflection 45 now and this two Parfumes are amazing
Yes I think you can. It is a powdery floral fragrance, but it's not very cloying. It's like a luxury body wash. But if you get it, fragrancebuy.ca has it for like $25
@KingdomScents thank you (I've never tried reflection man so idk how it smells like but I've heard a lot of positive things and since i cant afford the real one i wil go with the clone).Btw I've seen some reviews of shiyaaka and ppl r saying this smells identical to Le Male, is it true? I hope that's not the case because I've already have that one

Bout to oull the trigger on this one and i never buy clones but i hope the hype is right.
I ordered a bottle just before watching this vid and found it for only13$, super excited to try it out :))
Hope you enjoy it!
Where did you buy it from? Please share😢😢😢
@@raiyansyed1166 i ordered mine from Notino 😅
Don’t think it’s available anymore unfortunately 😢
@@raiyansyed1166 I left it in the description of the video. I got it from fragrancebuy.ca
Hope you can get back to me with the performance update!
Thanks for the review.
Performance is really good for a $25 fragrance. I get about 6-8 hours on my skin

If you like Reflection Man, you will like this.
Thank you bro I have a question which is better clone ? This or killer oud revolution?
I think this is the better clone because of the longevity

😮
I'm willing to blind buy it, do you think I can pull it off during summer?
