Inspiration: Amouage - Reflection Man
Couldn't load pickup availability
Reflection Man by Amouage is the inspiration for Shiyaaka Silver by Khadlaj, linking aromatic herbs and white florals to a dry refined woody base. Khadlaj's pepper and orris sharpen the powdery middle; vetiver and patchouli leave the finish earthier. Reflection Man admirers will get the same dressed-up floral-wood mood in a simpler frame.
Top: rosemary, petitgrain, pepper
Middle: neroli, orris root, jasmine
Base: cedarwood, vetiver, patchouli
Rosemary, petitgrain and pepper open crisp and tailored before neroli, orris and jasmine make the center smoother and more floral. Cedar, vetiver and patchouli dry the base out, leaving the scent with the clean pressed-shirt feel of a classic formal fragrance.
Shiyaaka Silver gives off about 2-4 feet of aromatic florals for the first two hours, then gradually becomes a drier woody trail. It wears around 7-9 hours, with cedar, vetiver and patchouli keeping the finish composed.
Spring through early fall is where Shiyaaka Silver feels most polished, especially during the day and into early evening. Weddings, office events, dinners and smart everyday wear suit its floral-wood character, while rosemary, vetiver and cedar give it a masculine lean.
