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.

More from Amouage
Amouage was founded in Oman in 1983, and its perfumes still carry the country's long history with frankincense and resins. Expect rich, layered compositions: incense and labdanum, saffron and cardamom, rose and jasmine over sandalwood and oud, made to unfold slowly rather than announce themselves. Guidance is the newer face of the range, woody and softly fruity on a warm amber base. Interlude Man is the resinous, spicy one, while Reflection Man sets clean white florals over woods. Honour Woman is a bright, green tuberose for anyone who likes flowers with backbone. A small decant of two or three shows which side of Amouage suits you.
