{"product_id":"amouage-interlude-man-eau-de-parfum-sample","title":"Amouage Interlude Man Eau de Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eAmouage's Interlude Man is an Eau de Parfum with spice and wood that the house describes as born from chaos and disorder, with calm hidden at its heart. It carries 29% perfume oil and was composed by Pierre Negrin. A 10 ml decant lets you find out if its smoky density suits you before you commit to a whole 100 ml bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Bergamot, Oregano, Pimento Berry Oil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Amber, Frankincense, Cistus, Opoponax\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Leather, Agarwood Smoke, Patchouli, Sandalwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHerbs and pepper first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pyramid begins with bergamot, oregano and pimento berry oil. Together they give a dry, herbal and peppery start where the citrus is more of a spark than a sweetness. Expect the opening to feel slightly rough, and judge it only after it has settled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResins in the middle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmber, frankincense, cistus and opoponax make up the heart. This is the part the house calls calm: balsamic, warm and a little sticky, with the sharp edges of the opening rounded off. If you wear the sample on skin you can follow how it turns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeather under smoke\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe base is leather and agarwood smoke, with patchouli and sandalwood beneath. It is dark, dry and weighty, and the smoke sits in front of any sweetness. This is the stage that divides opinion, so give it a few separate days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpray the sample once or twice on clean skin on a cool evening and leave it alone for a while. Then try it on a second day in colder air, because a dense base like this behaves differently from one season to the next. A warm office will tell you little.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmouage lists Interlude Man for men. It suits wearers who enjoy dark, resinous perfumes with spice, smoke and leather, and who do not mind a scent with presence. If you usually reach for fresh or sweet styles, treat the sample as an experiment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Amouage Interlude Man as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA smoky, leathery Eau de Parfum at 29% perfume oil is a strong commitment. Some people love that density at once, others find it too heavy. A decant filled from the original bottle gives you several wearings to decide, at a fraction of the commitment of 100 ml.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat do I receive?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant of Interlude Man, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Amouage is not involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIs Interlude Man very smoky?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgarwood smoke and leather carry the base, with resins in the heart, so smoke is a clear part of the picture. Whether it feels dramatic or comforting depends on your skin, which is what a sample shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhich season should I test it in?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCool weather and evenings are the natural setting, because amber, resins and smoke feel heavy in warmth. If you only have warm days, test it anyway but expect it to feel dense.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCan I compare it with other Amouage perfumes?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly within the house, and only by wearing them on separate days on your own skin. Keep a note of which notes you noticed first and what remained at the end of the evening.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amouage","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693391446170,"sku":"DG-AMO-INTERLUDE-MAN-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693391478938,"sku":"DG-AMO-INTERLUDE-MAN-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693391511706,"sku":"DG-AMO-INTERLUDE-MAN-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/amouage-interlude-man-eau-de-parfum-sample.jpg?v=1791499162","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/amouage-interlude-man-eau-de-parfum-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
