What Reddit owners say
4/5 SweetnessFresh & clean“They work perfectly during summer, and Interlude 53 does need the heat to fully come alive.”
4/5 Value“Allbeauty seems to have gone downhill a lot lately. For the past 6 months or so I've noticed they've often ran out of stock of many of the 'bigger' brands (Amouage, Creed etc) and those that they have left are on minimal discounts. Its odd to go there and see a bottle of Journey Man or Interlude that I purchased from them 1-2 years ago for £150 and see it now priced at £280, all while they pretend its still a good deal. Perhaps they've been struggling to get hold of stuff on the grey market through their usual channels lately”
5/5 Projection“Amouage Interlude Man. It's the only fragrance I own where “beast mode” doesn't feel like exaggeration. Incense, oregano, amber, resins and woods. It's dark, smoky, masculine and absolutely enormous.”
5/5 SweetnessFresh & clean“I wear it from time to time. The opening is sweeter and more “feminine” leaning but not too much so. It would depend on your preference. The dry down is less sweet and a lot more unisex. But again, if you like it and can pull it off, go for it! Other ones I like - Rose Incense- beautiful rose scent. Beach Hut Man - Green, Fresh, really good! I had Interlude but couldn't find any occasion where I could wear it .”
5/5“Mine is Arab so she loves most Amouage that I own. Fate, Interlude, Outlands, Sequence, Epic, Reflection she all loves just to name a few”

5/5 Unique“Definitely you my friend. I can admit i love KFC, and i own interlude BI. Altough its very special and unique, i never ever smelled any type of kfc in it. Unless you have a special edition of a chicken bucket with Oud in your country. 😏”
4/5 SummerSpring“I can't remember if I sampled it. I know I tried Lustre, Decision, 618, Beach Hut, Jubilation, and Interlude. They all smelled good, but some felt a bit too mature for my age. I would definitely give them a try again in the future. Right now I just wish they had more spring/summer releases”
2/5“There have been a few for me: amouage purpose 50, amouage interlude 53, Amouge silver oud, amouage royal tobacco. Purpose 50 is insane the first day I got it I went nose blind and kept applying thinking it was weak or something. Thankfully I was at home so no others were harmed by it. But a few days later I picked up the shirt I was wearing and it about melted my face off and I didn't even put it on my shirt just my arms.”
5/5“Amouage interlude man. I love it, but I got a decant in late June and it's gonna have to sit for a while..”
4/5“This one is actually pretty good. I used to have Interlude and now have Interlude Black Iris. It sort of sits somewhere between the both of those.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I use interlude 53 in my bathroom. 2 sprays behind the makeup mirror thingy, lasts around a week. Makes it feel luxurious af.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“My friend and I wore Amouage Interlude Woman out one night and we got stopped soooo many times.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“i ended up with full bottles of both! outlands blew me away initially, but decision grew on me and is one of my favorites from the house. i've sampled roughly 40 from the house, my favorites at the moment are interlude 53, purpose 50, royal tobacco, overture woman, and existence.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Interlude family probably. I have to stop and uncap my botttle to sniff it every time I walk by”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have these nukes Megamere, Bergamusk, Outlands, Purpose 50, Interlude (both versions), Beach Hut Man, Oud Maracuja, Hacivat but FM - The Moon was the only one that went beyond nuclear. One spray and my wife told me to leave the house 5hrs later because it was fuckin too much!”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have one who owns one fragrance and it's Amouage interlude. Come rain or shine he is wearing it, and you know every single room he's been in.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I tried it on after a spray of Interlude Man. Killer combo.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Unique“I think this is right. I've had my bottle of Interlude for 7 years now. It smells slightly different to how I remember it when I first bought it, it's just as intense but it's less smokey now meaning it's really really wearable for all occasions”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Interlude man is stronger and I own both of them”
