Interlude Man is said to evoke an air of disorder while maintaining a sense of balance and tranquility through the inventive use of incense and myrrh.

Christopher Chong, the creative director at Amouage said: “I interpret what I see and feel into scents. All the social and natural chaos and disorder surrounding us today can be translated to a much more intimate level. The interlude moment is a reflection of all the trials and tribulations one overcomes to attain personal satisfaction and achievement.”

He also explained the use of ingredients: “Amouage has established an enviable reputation for re-inventing accustomed scents. Frankincense and Myrrh traditionally smell spiritual and religious but in Interlude, they have been reconstructed to feel contemporary yet sophisticated.”

Interlude Man is a spicy – woody fragrance that opens with zesty Bergamot, Oregano and Pimento Berry Oil, perpetuating intervals of conflict which are countered by aromatic notes of Amber, Frankincense, Opoponax, Cistus and Myrrh.

Eternal notes of Leather, Agarwood smoke, Patchouli and Sandalwood in the base add lasting layers of depth and texture.

Perfumer: Pierre Negrin.
