A Shangaf Oud Abyad by Swiss Arabian fragrance sample gets you close to Interlude Man for a fraction of the price.

An inspired fragrance

This is Swiss Arabian's take on Interlude Man by Amouage, and reviewers who've smelled both put it close, not identical.

The fragrance is a dark, smoky arc that begins with a surprising flash of green oregano and sharp bergamot, like a match striking in the dark. It quickly plunges into the rich, resinous heart of myrrh and opoponax, leaving a commanding, tenacious trail of dense incense, aged leather, and powerful oud. A bold, smoky, and spicy scent perfect for cold winter nights. A rich, resinous oud and incense fragrance often compared to Amouage Interlude Man. Reach for it in fall and winter.
