What do reviewers say about 1988 and 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
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
