Amouage Interlude Man
- Authentic original perfume
- Try before the full bottle
- Travel-ready 3ml, 10ml, 30ml
- Long-lasting scent
Interlude Man by Amouage is smoke and resin at full strength, with a surprising herbal edge. Oregano opens it, dry and savoury, alongside pepper and a flash of bergamot. Incense then takes over, thickened by opoponax, amber and labdanum into a dense, balsamic cloud. Oud, leather, sandalwood and patchouli give the base a dark, woody grain. It is not subtle and does not try to be. Released in 2012, it is mostly worn by men who like a scent with real weight. Voters save it for winter and autumn evenings and for nights out. Most wearers vote its longevity eternal, and most call its sillage enormous, so one spray is a sensible start. A 3ml decant lets you try it on a few nights out first.

The community verdict
Oregano, pepper and bergamot give way to smoky incense, amber, oud and leather in Interlude Man. Most find it exceptionally long-lasting, with enormous, room-filling projection; go light if you prefer a quieter presence. Its bold character fits winter nights and going out, while autumn evenings work too.

Amouage Interlude Man in plain words
What it smells like, how it wears and who it suits.
What it smells like
It opens sharp and peppery, with a herbal bite. That quickly gives way to thick, smoky incense and warm amber. It ends dark and dry, with leather over deep woods.
How it wears
The perfume community reports that it lasts a very long time and fills the space around the wearer. A light hand is wise, since it can overwhelm in a small room.
When to wear it
Wearers reach for it in winter and autumn, mostly at night and in the evening. It is a going-out scent rather than a daytime one.
Who it suits
It suits a man who likes bold, dark and commanding scents and wants something complex and artistic. It is strong and rich, so keep it for colder evenings.
