Which Should You Buy?
This one's not for the faint of heart - it's a beast mode leather bomb that divides opinion like no other. Definitely not a blind buy, but if you're brave enough, it promises a scent journey well outside the ordinary. Love it or hate it, 'Complex' lives up to its name.
Aromatic Conflict is Alexandria UK's Extrait de Parfum take on Amouage's Interlude Man. The smoky incense-oregano opening and resinous amber heart land close to the original's chaotic spice, but the dupe flattens Interlude's layered evolution into a louder, more linear burn with shorter legs on skin.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
Given its 'beast mode' projection and longevity, this is absolutely not an office scent; it would be far too overwhelming. It suits formal occasions, black-tie events, and special nights out due to its luxurious and unique character, but should be applied sparingly. Its challenging nature makes it less suitable for casual wear, where subtlety is often preferred.
