Interlude Man(2011)

Created by Pierre Negrin for Amouage, Interlude Man opens on oregano, pepper, and bergamot, moves through a heart of incense, opoponax, and amber, and closes on leather, agarwood, and sandalwood. Its dense, smoky, resinous structure, built around unusually prominent incense and agarwood, made it one of the most acclaimed and intense masculine fragrances within Amouage's exclusive catalog, frequently cited by niche perfumery enthusiasts as a benchmark for uncompromising incense-oud composition.
