Amouage Interlude Man
8/ 10
Oregano, incense, amber and oud in a dense, smoky and deeply dramatic composition.
Interlude Man opens aromatic and spicy, almost medicinal, before unfolding incense, opoponax, leather and oud. The drydown is dark, resinous and persistent, best for cold weather and open space.
