If Amouage was mildly more approachable
Initial impressions without looking at notes/pyramid/accords: Definitely smells like Amouage. I'm getting aromatic-woody with fresh spices, not really noticing any incense. Not thinking of Interlude, but I am thinking of one of the other ones - might've been Memoir. Up-close I get some camphorous vibes - a lot of fougère-like qualities. And it smells like there's blood orange or a grapefruit-style note in the middle or base also, offering some resemblance to Burlington 1819. Dries pretty neat (good blend quality), deeply masculine & smells sophisticated.
After notes/pyramid/accords: Hmm. A lot of fougère notes actually. Separating the cypress-pine-fir isn't exactly the most doable, but they all combine to bring about this fairly standard scent profile. Leaves a slightly fresh spicy fougère scent.
This is nothing mind-blowing, and performance is pretty average and value is just okay. Does it smell like Interlude? I don't think so - this has ZERO incense/smokiness to it, and there are no ambers here either. Definitely doesn't pop as much as Interlude either. The only upsides of RedColorado are the slightly improved wearability and price - I'm just not sure if that's enough.
