Which Should You Buy?
A legendary statement scent, Interlude Man is an uncompromising symphony of incense, resins, and smoke that commands attention. Not for the faint of heart, it is a true benchmark for opulent niche perfumery.
This isn't for the faint of heart, it's a divisive beast of a scent that screams 'I'm here' and then some. A powerhouse that some adore as a masterpiece, while others find it overwhelmingly potent and challenging. It’s got an acquired taste, and boy, is it acquired.
