Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Tom lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Interlude Man.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Interlude Man's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Interlude Man — the 7th cheapest of 10 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: bergamot, oregano and pimento up top, incense, amber and cistus in the middle, leather, agarwood and opoponax underneath — the shape of Amouage Interlude Man.

Top

  • bergamot
  • oregano
  • pimento

Heart

  • incense
  • amber
  • cistus

Base

  • leather
  • agarwood
  • opoponax
For those who court the storm. Smoke, oregano and incense rage over leather and amber — brooding, resinous, gloriously excessive.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 10 twins of Amouage Interlude Man we can price, Tom is number 7 on price per 100ml.
