Oud Lumiere - Interlude Amouage

I didn’t expect to like this as much as I do, but it won me over on first wear. The opening has a clear hint of incense with a touch of oud, then settles into a smooth resin-leaning base. Longevity on me is a solid 7–9 hours, and it clings beautifully to sweaters and jackets. The quality feels high-end, and the compliments from coworkers and friends haven’t stopped. If you’re on the fence, try it—you’ll probably end up reaching for it more than you expect.

It projects nicely for the first few hours and then sits closer to the skin in a really pleasant way. I’ve worn it to the office and out to dinner; it never feels out of place or overpowering.

Clean yet bold; ideal for office-to-dinner.

Woody and smooth with a rich dry-down. Great buy.

Modern oud with just enough smoke—gets noticed fast.
