Interlude is a constantly changing, long lasting swirl of contrasting and complimenting fragrance notes. This Is not a starting choice for a very young man, but for the mature man that is aware of different fragrance notes and what he likes. It is best suited for the man who first chooses a scent that pleases him, but also not wanting to smell like everyone else or wearing something likely to be disliked and offensive to others. Interlude is typical of the House of Amouage's high quality products, where a small amount projects high quality ingredients and lasts through the entire day. Part of a complimenters remarks to me was that it smelled expensive. I have noted that quality in the twelve Amouage and three Marly parfums I have tried so far. It is without a doubt ... MoreInterlude is a constantly changing, long lasting swirl of contrasting and complimenting fragrance notes.

It is without a doubt in the highest quality most attractive bottle of my growing collection. Especially considering it's price, for this one I first recommended purchasing a sample large enough for several days use. While ordering the sample you might want to try their Gold Man for another smile on your face.

I've shopped at Beauty Affairs for a few years now without a problem, however last week my package was stolen- at the fault of the courier. I purchased around $200+ of skincare and was completely devastated when it happened, as I didn't think I would be able to get it resent or refunded because it wasn't Beauty Affair’s fault. I contacted them and to my surprise, they immediately offered to resend or refund my purchase, not only that but they included a gift! I have never had such exceptional customer service from any other company in my whole life! Knowing they are a relatively small (compared to Sephora etc) Australian owned brand makes it even more impressive and I'm so happy (even excited) to know my money is going to a company that highly values its customers. ... MoreI've shopped at Beauty Affairs for a few years now without a problem, however last week my package was stolen- at the fault of the courier.

Honour Man by Amouage is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. Honour Man was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Feisthauer. Top notes are Pink Pepper and Pepper; middle notes are Geranium, elemi and Nutmeg; base notes are Incense, Vetiver, Virginia Cedar, Musk, Tonka Bean and Patchouli, according to Fragrantica. Strong and imperious, low-key, but spunky from the inside, that's how you can describe this fragrance. I would say - "burning steel" from the east. It is dominated by dry and mysterious incense. Vetiver imparts a certain warmth and pepper notes give inner fire. Clean, natural and floral, is very peppery in the opening yes but this is a geranium themed cologne and it excels in every department. It smells like geranium mixed with gum ... MoreHonour Man by Amouage is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. Honour Man was launched in 2011. The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Feisthauer.

Under the strong woody peppery topnotes, there is a soft refined geranium / nutmeg combo that almost smell a bit creamy. It's quite fresh also, and actually very versatile to be a Amouage scent. It has very good longevity 10+h , and the sillage is just perfect. It can be pulled out all year round and it’s definitely unisex, can be worn any time,any occasion. I’m feeling that this fragrance is underrated and don’t seen it very often talked in the fragrance community.

Well I finally bit the bullet and finally ordered a bottle of what people call the Blue Beast that came out in 2012. Also they say the one made in UK doesn't last that long, I can't confirm this, from the Oman release that I have. So, let's check this one out. Top notes in Amouage Interlude are Oregano, Pepper, and Bergamot. Heart notes are Incense, Opoponax, Amber, and Labdanum. Base notes are Leather, Oud, Sandlewood, and Patchouli. Well, one of two things with this one. You either love it, or hate it. In my case I love fragrances that are unique. I have another fragrance from the 80's that has Incense as well. It lasts forever on the skin which is awesome in a fragrance nowadays. I have heard the UK batches or the ones with the magnetic tops don't last that long? ... MoreWell I finally bit the bullet and finally ordered a bottle of what people call the Blue Beast that came out in 2012.

It lasts forever on the skin which is awesome in a fragrance nowadays. I have heard the UK batches or the ones with the magnetic tops don't last that long? Don't have any experience with those. I can say mine lasts for at least two days on my skin. The Oregano is really strong but blends in nicely with the rest of the fragrance. I would recommend this one if you like being unique and smelling different from others!

The aromatics in this scent are incredible. It's sweet, yet bitter. Heavy, yet invigorating. This isn't something that can be worn in most office settings as it'd be overpowering to some, but it's a great signature scent for everything outside of the office. The Oud and Rose combination always pleases, and the extra notes inside send it to a different league. It didn't last crazy long on my skin, maybe 4-5 hours. It does last nearly all day on my clothing. Expect it to project a foot or two from yourself. The only reason I can't consider it perfect is because it would come across as too strong and offensive to some. Other than that, I love the scent.

A compliments magnet! Ladies love this

Before now I have not really being a fan of florals as the main theme of a mens fragrance. But I heard so much about this fragrance and seeing Amouage is one of my favorite houses, I decided to give it a try. Man, this is a gem right here guys. Whats more is that ladies simply adore this fragrance. Its soft, but long lasting, smells like a rose bouquet but with a tinge of masculinity. This is a compliments magnet.

A remarkably easy-to-wear frankincense

Arguably the best Amouage ever created and a remarkably easy-to-wear frankincense.Frankincense (incense) is not an easy note to wear. In its pure form it can come across as astringent, lemony or even urea-like. Of course, incense of any kind is not meant to be applied to skin; instead, it is burned to give off its enchanting, unique aroma. Amouage hit the bull's eye with this creation though.Jubilation XXV Man (not to be confused with Jubilation 25, which is another scent by Amouage marketed to women), is a complex scent, built around frankincense and wrapped in a fougere accord. It does not smell harsh or synthetic, yet does is not your average, crowd-pleasing, designer scent.Jubilation XXV opens with a unique accord of berries, supported by a delicate orange ... MoreArguably the best Amouage ever created and a remarkably easy-to-wear frankincense.Frankincense (incense) is not an easy note to wear.

It does not smell harsh or synthetic, yet does is not your average, crowd-pleasing, designer scent.Jubilation XXV opens with a unique accord of berries, supported by a delicate orange and davana (both are barely discernible notes). This aspect appeared more authentic and bolder in older bottles; however, it does not last very long. The frankincense begins to project from the get go and constitutes the backbone structure of the entire scent. As the scent progresses, a gentle sweetness emerges, which could either be the opoponax or 'honey' note. Interestingly, the note pyramid claims an oud note, but I cannot detect it.From a distance, Jubilation XXV turns a few heads (including your own!), as the curiosity to get a whiff of "that smell" quietly calls for your attention. The incense here invokes memories of an Eastern or oriental church somewhat, but the complex blend make it quite wearable. The gentle sweetness removes any perceived harshness from the incense and comes across as calming or even meditative. It won't fill a room with its projection (it was never intended to), but it projects remarkably well and easily lasts a full day on skin and clothes, if not longer. Just be sure to stick with fewer sprays, otherwise it can become a bit of an olfactory mess. One or two sprays at most.The most recent bottles begin with less than average projection and longevity, but once they've been used a bit and allowed to mature over time, they do improve dramatically. The non-magnetic cap bottles would last past 12 hours and even survive showers. Current bottles are very long lasting though; just be sure to purchase a Made in Oman version.

A trend-setting scent; try before you buy!

As the first men's fragrance by Amouage, Gold Man set the scene for just how revolutionary Amouage's scents would end up being.A completely new theme for a men's scent in the early 80s, Gold Man bears a close resemblance to Chanel No. 5, at least in the opening stages. But do not be fooled by the development of this scent, which is so drastic, it could easily be classed as 3 scents rolled into one.The opening is full aldehydes and florals. Jasmine makes an early appearance whilst slightly veiled by the aldehydes, but the rose that introduces the middle stages takes the scent into a completely different direction. It's almost as if the Chanel No. 5 has been spiked with roses. Some more powdery notes enter at this point, before musk and frankincense join to create ... MoreAs the first men's fragrance by Amouage, Gold Man set the scene for just how revolutionary Amouage's scents would end up being.A completely new theme for a men's scent in the early 80s, Gold Man bears a close resemblance to Chanel No. 5, at least in the opening stages.

It's almost as if the Chanel No. 5 has been spiked with roses. Some more powdery notes enter at this point, before musk and frankincense join to create an opulent and long-lasting dry down. Older bottles had a nuclear civet note from about the mid point, which contrasted beautifully with the rose. This has been neutered in more recent bottles, but the overall aldehydic, soapy, floral-musky accord is largely still intact.A scent that is sure to turn heads (sometimes for the wrong reasons), it is one that simply must be sampled thoroughly before committing to a bottle. Ladies should not be afraid to wear this one, as it is largely unisex, perhaps leaning more to the feminine side of the spectrum.

It’s likely the fake one

I bought the Interlude Man thru the 3rd party seller on Walmart, but I have to return it because I am doubtful that this bottle is not an authentic one. First, the bottle I received is different from the one described. There are no words “Interlude” on the side and on the base neck of the bottle. Second, as described on Walmart page, the seller posted “Made in Oman”, I got the one “Made in UK”, you should sell the one as correctly described. Lastly, the projection and longevity is so much week, it lasts about 3 hours on my skin, and then becomes skin scent. It is not true about the Interlude Man of the Amouage. The Interlude Man is my favorite fragrance, I have been using it for two years, so I know how the Interlude should be.

NOT WORTH THE HYPE!

I have read many reviews and watched youtube videos regarding Jubilation XXV perfume. A little less than OK scent. Last normal (~3 hrs) but I AM NOT IMPRESSED!! Bottle looks great however, I am more interested in turning heads with the aroma. Not worth the price or advertisement for a 25 year anniversary special. It appears as if they put less oil/aroma. It's like going to a bar and being served watered down alcohol from the original bottle. You can taste the alcohol but notice it lacks strength! Better off with Sawalef line, Swiss Arabian and Khalis or Afnan line.
