Bro that's an old video that he made before he changed everything up I'm guessing that he's probably just didn't release it until now from what I understand he has tons of videos that he's never released or hasn't released yet but yeah that's an old video
Ash, Reflection Man is one of my fave frags, if not my fave. And, Khadlaj Shiyaaka is like 95% accurate in my opinion. I love it. And, it would probably be my signature scent if i believed in that. But, i get bored quickly of the same thing all the time. Even half way through a day i can start to think about putting on a different frag, lol. But yes, i put this one really really up there with frags like Valentino Born in Roma Intense, Dior Homme Intense, YSL L'Homme Edp, Armani Code Parfum, Armani Code Absolu, Bleu de Chanel Parfum, Chanel Allure Sport, etc.
Congrats on the start of your fragrance journey. Definitely check out Dua Brand, Paris Corner and Fragrance World fragrance houses. (And Mancera…my favorite.) Lots of great smelling choices.
The package of this frag just came today and after comparing it to my OG sample of reflection, I can say that this one is currently the best amouage reflection clone at the market, I've tried the killer oud revolution but gets dissapointed, but this one is a banger.
Hey Ash, I’ll be honest with you, I’m looking for a signature scent BUT I don’t have that much money lol-reason why I’m checking out this vid. I wanted to know if you have any other links where I can find this one?
Just got the bottle. It's not a bad scent but I can only say it has some reflection notes. In general is far from being a close clone. Call me crazy, but although Gucci Guilty Elixir is very complex, at least it smells like it has a reflection base plus many other notes. A bit disappointed but at least it wasn't much money into this.
I get a chamomile / insect repellant note at the beginning of Shiyaaka. But like it after that dies off, I was surprised that this was based off something so popular... Bought a decant of reflection and get a slight repellant smell from that too lol. But in drydown I enjoy both. I get similar performance from both too.
In what way, the background wall? The new setup is way better with the table and being able to see things he's talking about the whole time. Much cleaner, while the old one is busy is serves no purpose
That bottle style is cheap because it is easy and cheap to make in terms of glass formation and handling. Also they are easier to mass produce and handle at the factory when they are flat like that.
What ruins Reflection Man to me is the jasmine especially on dry down. It's to animalistic to my noise and spoils the otherwise great vibe. Reflection Man 45 cuts back on it a bit but still not enough form me. If they used a clean musk instead of the strong jasmine it would probably be in my collection but instead I traded it.
ASH!!!! since you don’t respond to emails… anyways please try Arabian Silver Vetiver by Le Chameau. Its phenomenal! Is it a clone of TV Grey Vetiver or Creed Vetiver? I don’t know but it’s awesome!!!!
The bottle is a clear copy of Arabian Oud Amiri: the bottle is all metal + glass, magnetic cap and weighs more than 1kg :P I have that one and is a great arabian take on a freshie: citrus, oud and vanilla. Try it out if you have the chance.
@@tjpfz6 of course, Arabian Oud is a niche brand. I was talking about the bottle style, it's pretty clear what they tried to copy. As i said even the bottle screams "luxury": Heavy glass, lot of metal and a magnetic cap on top of it.
The old desk made a comeback in this video! Nostalgia haha
I was thinking the same thing 😂
I think it was recorded a while ago as a guess, since he gave a bottle away a few months ago.
@@oTEMPE5To ahhhhh makes sense

I have both the Khadlaj and Amouage. They are extremely similar. The Amouage is a better performer but they are insanely similar.
it's so close that I can get by without reflection man now
How long does this Khadlaj project?

The bottle is a straight rip from Amiri by Arabaian Oud, but that bottle is crazy heavy with an insanely strong magnetic cap.
Love the videos. I swear ive spent nearly 500 on scents and im just getting started. Been growing my collection for 3 weeks now.
I'm trying to sample before I buy now
Congrats on the start of your fragrance journey.

@@Godstrumpet2010 Hey. What is your favorite from Paris Corner, Emir, Pendore and FW?
This stuff is great. Like a fancy clean linen smell
Aaah the old desk vibes 🔥😎 & kinda like this setup/background a lil more sometimes. Hmmm this maybe going forward for Extra Gents Scents 🤔🤩
I bought a bottle of this a couple weeks ago and I think it’s incredible
I like it a lot
link to buy?

Hows the performance?
Is it stable and fragrant?
Hey Ash, is Khadlaj better than Killer ouds clone of reflection man??
Yayyy I love the old studio. Closest I get to a gents scents extra episode I guess 😂
Kicking it old school
Try Khadlaj La Fede - Intoxicate. Killer cheap Angels‘ Share clone
I got this a few months back when arromatix talked about it and now that it’s sat for a little it’s 95% close imo
Since you already opened Afternoon Dive can you let us know about longevity? Not looking for beast mode but not looking for 3 hours either. Thanks!

Amazon has it most of a time
Got a sample of reflection man and it's really nice so hopefully this deserves the hype :)
The bottle design reminds me of the older aweful Armaf bottles ...
Looking forward to seeing you try more of those. There’s a blue one wanna see you make a video of that.

Better than the killer oud?!
That's a better blend, but terrible performer.

I’m bummed to hear about the bottle thing because I love the fragrance and I’ve always thought the bottle was pretty cool 🤷🏻♂️
Oh dang didn’t notice the old desk till last comment kinda miss the sit down and review talks …
I've had my bottle for a year. I like it, has fantastic longevity. The ole cheese grater bottle haha
This setup is better than the current one
In what way, the background wall? The new setup is way better with the table and being able to see things he's talking about the whole time. Much cleaner, while the old one is busy is serves no purpose
😂 bro how??? This setup is wayyyy distracting. The current setup is better straight to point and keeps u focus
@@Bra.dela1 just looks generic to me.
@@WolfNRaven oh ohk 👍
What Ash 2 in one day brother? Way to go...... Trinidad Fan in the house.
Great review as always
This reminds me of Prada red or Rosso I had some years ago..
100% the same?!
That bottle style is cheap because it is easy and cheap to make in terms of glass formation and handling. Also they are easier to mass produce and handle at the factory when they are flat like that.
I want this fragrance!! 👍
Could anyone recommend if it’s mass appealing and a safe blind buy?
smells like soap with longevity of a zara frag
Love this ❤️🔥
And it’s gone. Ash moves the market again
is silver same as red?
Yes. As long as the bottle looks like this. Different vendors will call it different things. The only other ones are Gold and Blue.
I love my vetivet fragrances
can we get a best black friday deals video
this or gucci elixir?

From the looks of it it could be a clone of Aribian oud amiri

I finally got around to wearing this & I was *really* underestimating it.
Is the smell close to each other and how long does it last and smell, my friend?
This is an old video because he's using his old setup And anyway I have this fragrance and it's very close to Reflection Man...💯
The bottle is a clear copy of Arabian Oud Amiri: the bottle is all metal + glass, magnetic cap and weighs more than 1kg :P I have that one and is a great arabian take on a freshie: citrus, oud and vanilla. Try it out if you have the chance.
its similar but not an exact copy, arabian oud amiri is much better quality, both in juice and bottle

Sold out! Get on the notifications list! 😀
I wonder if misspelling vetiver was a way to protect themselves legally.
This fragrance is similar to jean Paul Gaultier le male
Was scrolling down to see if anyone else gets this, when I spray it, I get Le Male flash backs, or is it smell backs? :)
@@agriperma any clone smell like a backs?$?
Great video. Thanks
This thing is up to $40 us now
👍👍👍👍
I like this background much better.
You been sitting on this video for some time Ash... lol
In the mid it gets better, but for the first thirty minutes it feels too much like dryer sheets for me.
I wouldn't be surprised if khadlaj, lataffa and armuf were all the same company
That isn't available to buy anywhere in EU, thats the problem :/
Notino,yesterday i ordered one
That bottle is atrocious.
Not aviable, diiscountined or what?
First, hi Ash great video.
Sold out already
So, how long did you wait to post this video? 😂
GIVE ME POWWWWWWER!!!
HeMan fragrance!!!
Amouage reflection smells like expensive soap. total waste of money. for that price buy something better
That's a lot of babble about the presentation
After comparing them side by side, I can't discern any difference. Unfortunately, silver has been DISCONTINUED.
Just buy it yestersay!
Don't lie
Looks like a blingy deodorant stick.
shut up about clones already
Smells like a furniture polish spray, not impressed at all.
