Interlude Man by Amouage is a powerful and enigmatic Oriental Woody fragrance for men, launched in 2012. Conceived by perfumer Pierre Negrin, this bold composition is often referred to as “the Blue Beast” for its commanding presence and long-lasting sillage.
Designed to capture the chaos and serenity that exist within a moment of reflection, Interlude Man opens with a striking combination of bergamot, oregano, and pimento berry oil, creating a sharp, spicy, and slightly smoky introduction. As the scent unfolds, a heart of amber, frankincense, opoponax, and labdanum takes center stage dense, resinous, and richly textured, evoking a sense of mysticism and introspection.
The base is a complex interplay of oud, sandalwood, patchouli, leather, and incense, grounding the fragrance in depth, warmth, and darkness. The result is a scent that is both meditative and dramatic an olfactory portrait of inner conflict and reconciliation.
Interlude Man is not for the faint of heart. It is a fragrance for the confident, the complex, and the unapologetically bold a true statement piece in the world of niche perfumery.
