What does Interlude Man Eau de Parfum smell like?

The opening is unusual and herbal: oregano and pimento give a dry, spicy bite, with bergamot adding only a little light.

The heart is where Interlude Man is defined: frankincense, opoponax, amber and cistus create a thick, smoky resin accord.

Leather, oud, patchouli and sandalwood give a long, dark and woody drydown that keeps the smoky character.
