French elegance meets Omani power
Interlude Man is one of the manliest and best performing fragrances I've tried. It has a simple, elegant scent profile that captures rugged Omani appeal. Pierre Negrin created a masterpiece, the French idea of a Middle Eastern man.
Opening packs a spicy punch with oregano and pimento. After a few minutes, incense kicks in and envelops you in a cloud of herbal smoke. Once the resins start coming to life, they round out the scent, making it warm and slightly sweet.
Sandalwood is the shining star of the drydown phase. It's smooth, creamy, slightly boozy and those qualities are complemented by smooth leather. Oud and patchouli provide earthiness and distinct woodiness. On my skin, it projects for 6 hours and lasts for 14 hours.
It's challenging but develops quickly and is easy to pull off - just allow it to wear you. While it's my fall and winter signature, it can easily be worn during the warmer months; it radiates quite beautifully in the heat, creating a memorable resinous experience.
Hats off to Pierre Negrin and damn you Amouage for setting the bar so high. Knowing that this juice smells so captivating while also having the so-called "nuclear projection" makes it difficult to justify spending money on other niche brands. Which isn't a bad thing.
