The review

On paper, Evolution is a reasonable bet if you want Interlude Man for less.

Zimaya 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.

Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

Strength9.0
Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Zimaya 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

The original opens on bergamot, oregano and pimento, turns to incense, amber and cistus, and settles into leather, agarwood and opoponax. That is the brief Evolution is working from.

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.
