The Scent

Bergamot opens bright and brief, then oregano and pimento berry push in with a sharp, almost savory spice that sets this apart from a standard amber opening. The heart burns through amber, frankincense, cistus, and opoponax, a dense resinous core that reads as incense as much as perfume. The base settles into leather, agarwood smoke, patchouli, and sandalwood, dark and smoky through to the end. This is a big, room-filling scent built for cold weather and evenings where you want to be noticed.

Worth Knowing

Interlude Man sits in Amouage's core men's lineup and has become one of the house's most recognized releases, prized for its incense-forward character and the contrast between the spicy top and the smoky, resinous base. It's a favorite reference point for fans of heavy, oud-and-incense fragrances.

Where It Came From

Interlude Man was composed by perfumer Pierre Negrin and is generally dated to around 2012. It belongs to Amouage's main line rather than one of the house's numbered concept collections.

About Amouage

Amouage is an Omani perfume house established in 1983 under the patronage of the Sultanate of Oman. It built its reputation on rare raw materials, frankincense and oud with strong ties to the region, and pricing that sits at the top of the market. Alongside its core men's and women's lines, Amouage runs concept series like the Library Collection and Renaissance Collection that push further into oud, tobacco, and incense.
