Interlude Man
Amouage (2012)

There's nothing subtle about this parade float of a spicy/smoky/amber/sweet concoction. That may not be a bad thing for some -- underspraying is not probable -- but it also reduces its overall utility. I got bored with it after an hour, washed it off, and applied Journey Man instead.

A very soft positive.

one of the best oriental scent available. Spice, incense, leather and wood (syntetic oud), really a masterpiece and the best amouage offer. is't unique and doesn't seem other fragrance, It's enough strong in sillage (not a monster) adn has a gooh persistence, For sure a man's fragnrance, i cant see these on a woman.

Simply put, the foulest most disgusting thing I've ever tried out of hundreds. Wipe yourself down in oregano oil from Amazon and call it a day. I give everything a chance but this was a furious scrubber in minutes. Can also be used as human repellant

Strong peppers and herbs - blacks and greens. All prickly and pointy and powerful. Eventually softens into a wet leather. Avoiding the word 'masculine' here but this fragrance belongs on the skin of someone who commands the room. I prefer Jubilation, but respect Interlude for the long-lasting powerhouse it is.

Peppery oriental opening, very incensey, I didn't get any of the fresh bergamot smell. Once again smells like an orthodox church or perhaps an upmarket healing crystals shop. I can appreciate the oriental mystique Amouage has adopted but I'm not sure they've pegged the western market. I guess they want to give their clients a touch of the rarest perfumes of biblical kings, with pricing to match. And that's great, it's very evocative for the moment. I just don't want it all day.

The sillage and scent trail are pleasant, but on my skin, it's a bit too sickly sweet. Maybe it's because of Amouage's incense-amber DNA that doesn't sit well with me. It also feels linear, and although the sweetness has depth and richness, it lacks complexity and nuance.

While this fragrance is attention-grabbing, some people may not appreciate the smokiness. The general public tends to prefer sweeter scents, but it can get complicated when combined with a smoky or balsamic element.

I recommend sampling before buying.
