Killer Oud

Paris Corner really did a great job capturing interludes vibe in killer oud. When I first smelled Interlude, i loved it but the price was way out of my league. Being able to enjoy that same dark atmosphere for this price honestly feels amazing. For me, Interlude is the scent of an evil magician in a dark fantasy movie. It’s mystical, heavy, and atmospheric. Like burning herbs, woods, leather, and patchouli during some kind of ritual. Very dark, very intense, very dramatic. That said, this is definitely not a blind buy if you don’t know the Interlude DNA. It’s a challenging, polarizing oriental fragrance. It opens with burnt oregano, and spices, then evolves into a dense, heavy blend of patchouli, leather, woods, incense, and more spices. If you already love Interlude, this clone is amazing for the price. If you’re not familiar with that dark, smoky DNA — test first. Of course they're not 100% same if u test them side by side, since the original is stronger, smokier, spicier and a lot more complex, but you can't really complain for the price. Also the incense and oud feel a lot lighter and less "in your face", making this perfume lighter and more wearable than the original. The best and most unique part of interlude is the "burnt oregano" note imo and paris corner captured it very nice 8/10

#909 in my "Tour de Fragrance" So guys: Ard Al Zafaran "Midnight Oud", Armaf "Supremacy Incense", Swiss Arabian "Shaghaf Oud Abyad" are not dupes of Amouage "Interlude Man." Supremacy Incense comes closest of the three. But this Killer Oud scent is a killer clone for sure! If you don't like spicy incense scents this isn't for you. I was happy to find something that leans very oriental without so much rose that you smell your grandmother. Interlude Man is a great scent, and I got my bottle at a nice discount, but it was still $100 more than this Paris Corner brew. So if you like the Interlude Man DNA , this is it for a lot less money. For myself I've moved on to Amouage "Interlude Man Black Iris." The Iris makes such a difference as it overwrites all that hint of pencil shavings smell these scents all have (and it was a gift from a woman that really should be on the runway in the highest end fashion shows, so...). But this scent always gets massive compliments from women. And this clone has the same staying power and projection at $35, so I don't think you can go wrong with this. I think it's a scent for date night, not office wear, but you be the judge. It's not going to offend anyone unless they/re trapped in a Fiat with you.

I bought this because of the review by JusttheFactsMan, which described it as a “killer clone” of Interlude Man. I agree, this is pretty good! When compared side by side with Interlude Man, they are distinguishable. It kind of replicates the Interlude DNA, probably more so the dry down than the opening. However, if you like the original, this is not a replacement. Overall, this is a great fragrance! Due to the price difference, I use this to save on the real Interlude Man. You have to be relatively confident to wear this, as it is a strong, spicy fragrance, just like with the original Interlude Man. But I agree that this is easier to wear than the original.

I like it more than I like any other clone or the original. The nutty note puts it above others.

Ok. I blind bought this for $30, delivered. I blind buy basically everything and this did not disappoint. This is unique. Not your everyday type of scent. But it's not off-putting or cloying (at least to my nose). The first 30 minutes you get oregano, allspice and black pepper. I mean it's just a spice heaven. After it settles down you get alot of incense & smoke. The smoke can be interpreted as slightly heavy. The incense cuts the smoke a bit. As time goes by (3-4 hours) it slowly but surely settles into a really nice, sweet, subtle incense type of scent. The smoke is still there but it's in the background and not as obvious. Then comes some subtle wood notes. This is really nice. Really comforting, really soothing type of scent. I wouldn't call it a beast but it is more strong than subtle. 6 hours in and I can still smell it but it's subtle. I get it when reviewers say it's a cold weather scent. But make no mistake: You can wear this in the late spring and early fall. No worries on that. I wouldn't wear it in the summer (June, July, August in the northeast, USA) but if you insist, it has to be on a cool summer night. One more thing: More for a mature crowd. You could wear it if you're in your 20s. No worries. But definitely more mature.
