Double Take

Double Take opens with rosemary, red pepper berries and petitgrain, a combination that suggests bright herbal‑spicy freshness. It retains the rosemary found in Reflection Man, but swaps the original’s pink pepper and bergamot for red pepper berries and adds petitgrain, a citrus‑green nuance. The shared rosemary and new peppery fruit aim to echo the original’s energetic start while adding a different aromatic edge. At $140 per 100 ml, the dupe costs less than half the $395 original.

In the heart, both fragrances feature jasmine and neroli, promising a floral‑citrus core, while the base retains sandalwood and vetiver, indicating a woody, earthy finish. Double Take adds orris root, ylang‑ylang, cedarwood and patchouli, whereas Reflection Man relies on ylang, cedar and omits patchouli. These divergent base ingredients suggest a richer, more resinous dry‑down for the dupe. Priced at $140 per 100 ml, it offers a more affordable option, though the added notes may shift its overall character.

The verdictOn paper, Double Take captures many of Reflection Man’s key ingredients while introducing several distinct notes, and does so at a fraction of the price. Whether the added ingredients alter the character positively can only be judged by actual wear.
