The "Deep Dive"

The Dry-Down

As Interlude Man settles onto the skin, the initial spicy and herbal intensity gradually gives way to a warm, resinous heart of incense and amber. This middle stage is rich and enveloping, creating a smoky, slightly sweet veil. Finally, the fragrance dries down to a sophisticated base of oud, leather, and sandalwood. The dry down is deep, rich, and persistent, with the oud playing a pivotal role, supported by earthy patchouli and creamy sandalwood, ensuring a long-lasting and memorable olfactory signature.
