    What do reviewers say about Reflection Man and 1988?

    Reflection Man is not trying to shout over anyone in the room. It is a quiet confidence wrapped in aromatic herbs, soft florals, and creamy woods. The pepper note keeps things interesting without.Reflection Man
    Not another late-80s flanker or another rose number. 1988 earns its name with a green clarity that most fragrances this side of 1990 have forgotten. The galbanum stings, the iris powders.1988
