I personally do not know Amouage Interlude Man, but I can say this perfume is amazing. What needs to be said upfront is that this perfume is not a crowd-pleaser. You either like it or you don’t at all.
The perfume starts off very strongly spicy. You can immediately smell oregano and a lot of bergamot, and it really stings when you smell it up close.
After 5 minutes of intense opening, the perfume becomes smoother and you can clearly smell a sandalwood note. All of this is backed by strong incense and something earthy.
Once half an hour has passed, the scent gets even better and a slight sweetness emerges.
The presentation is also really beautiful, and I really like the bottle. The golden emblem is very reminiscent of TF and fits this bottle quite well.
The longevity is really very good for this perfume. It lasts for days on clothing, and on my skin, I get around 8-9 hours. The sillage is not very strong in this perfume. It is rather closer to the skin in my experience. However, you can quickly become nose-blind to all the spices. It holds up well at arm's length; you can definitely smell the perfume. It’s really better this way, otherwise, you might overwhelm others.
Overall, a really great scent that you can already acquire for €15, and it is truly a must-have if you enjoy complex and beautiful late autumn and winter fragrances.
