Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Break Time For Men EDP
Perfume Parlour's take on Interlude Black Iris; community read: runs muskier. A budget alternative built around the same accord at a fraction of the price.

Our Verdict - Epic Man EDP
Epic Man is one of Amouage's most divisive. Most adore its dark, complex spicy character, but a vocal minority find it bland, or, worse, detect a foul note. Performance is a common sticking point; many newer bottles disappoint with poor projection and longevity.
