What does Interlude Man smell like?

The top notes of bergamot, pimento and oregano give a sharp, spicy start. In the heart, frankincense, amber, opoponax and cistus add a resinous warmth. The base of oud, patchouli, leather and sandalwood makes it woody, earthy and smoky, with the sweetness staying in the background throughout.

Both longevity and sillage are rated very strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads masculine and classic. Amouage Interlude 53 and Afnan Perfumes Supremacy Incense have a close profile.
