Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
Conclusion
Reflect by Afnan is a very good daily driver option if you like Fleur Narcotique but don’t want to spend the money. It’s a great "dumb reach" fragrance: easy to wear, mass appealing, and suitable for most occasions. The initial synthetic blast might bother some, but it fades quickly. Reflect gets you close enough for everyday wear and leaves you feeling good about the money you saved. If you want that polished, refined edge, save up for the real deal. But for a solid daily fragrance? This is a winner.
The Scent Profile
Reflect opens bright, like a peach bellini. The lychee and bergamot are upfront, juicy and inviting, but there's a noticeable synthetic edge in the first few minutes. The heart brings in the floral aspects. You get a good dose of peony and orange blossom. It’s aiming for that airy, sophisticated feel of Fleur Narcotique, and comes pretty close. The drydown is a soft musk with a hint of vanilla, settling into a pleasant, slightly woody skin scent. Compared to Fleur Narcotique, it’s about 93% there. The original has a smoother, more natural feel, especially in the floral heart, and less of that initial synthetic blast.
The Performance Stats
Performance is solid . I get about 6-7 hours on skin, with moderate projection for the first two hours before it settles closer. It's not a beast mode fragrance, but people around you will smell it. On clothes, it lasts a good work day.
