Oregano, pepper and dense incense drying down to amber, oud and leather: the Interlude Man profile, a little sweeter and less smoky. Owners put it around 90% of the way there; one found the blend harsh next to the Amouage. Very strong and very long lasting.

“90% similar to Interlude Man, but it's that 10% that makes Amouage so expensive.”
