Where people disagree
“EGERYBODY is anonymous about the fact that it is a spot on clone. But damn… I don’t get anything but a kinda minty hospital smell. I don’t know if you get me. It smells really familiar, like some medicinal thing. No woods like it’s supposed”
reddit post ↗“I do know that it is almost a 1:1 with Reflection Man, so that is why I am disappointed. Reflection Man is described as incredible classic and amazing scent… to me this is totally generic.”
reddit ↗“There are some good clones out there. This ain't one of them. Reflection just on another level and one of the frags that you just gotta splurge on a decant or fb.”
reddit ↗“I found it to be very disrespectful to the OG to compare the two in any way, it smells nothing like the OG and those who say so are lying to themselves because they thing their getting a huge deal.”
