Amouage Interlude 53 Man in plain words

What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.

What it smells like

A hot, peppery blast of oregano and pimento opens it, sharp and herbal. Thick smoke settles in, and it finishes on dark, soft leather with a deep glow of warm resin.

How it wears

The perfume community reports that it lasts exceptionally long and projects enormously, filling a room. A small amount is plenty.

When to wear it

Wearers find it belongs to winter and autumn, at night and in the evening. It suits going out, where its presence is welcome.

Who it suits

Suits men who love spicy, smoky scents and want something unusual and complex. It can overwhelm some noses, especially those who do not enjoy incense.
