Darker than the non-extrait version of Reflection Man, spicier, oilier, less airy and sunny, but in my opinion more beautiful. Still definitely the same DNA. The scent is incredibly attractive, the silage and projection are a bit lower than the original however. Definitely lasts longer on my skin than the original (which goes for 4-5hrs on me), but is a bit confusing in its performance: there are days when it lasts a full 24hrs+, then there are days when it disappears completely from my skin within 5-6 hours. It has a gorgeous opening, emanates waves of tantalizing drydown within an hour of spraying.
