Recommend some Amouage fragrances. Tried Interlude Man and Jubilation. And.....

[whcouncill]

I like the performance of Interlude Man but I like the scent of Jubilation. I wish it was stronger! If Jubilation was stronger it would have been my top fragrance easily.But it is kinda weak. I still wear it sometimes on some "what coulda been" vibe. So what is the next alternative. Any other decent smelling but strong Interlude Man like performers from Amouage? Smoky incence notes maybe? That are easy to find decants of?

Myths Man is not an easy fragrance, but it's my favorite Amouage. I can't promise you'll love it, but most seem to have strong opinions about it one way or the other.

How many sprays do you use?

I'll look into it. Thanks,

Figment!
Its a bit challenging but it last quite long and stands out.

My second favorite is Memoir.
If you like mint and wormwood, you'll like this.

The third would be Opus VII but it is as challenging as Figment.

Journey Man is lovely.

Epic Man and Gold Man are their best stank juices. Try to find a pre-reformulation of Gold. Wowsers! The Civet will curl your nose hairs.

These two are definitely worth trying.

 

[N.CAL Fragrance Reviewer]

Definitely Epic Man. I'd add Dia Man

Another for Epic Man

Boundless is a pretty incredible tobacco/amber/incense composition. It has the spices of Journey Man up top but shifts into a warm cola and pipe tobacco scent. It’s not a huge performer but it doesn’t need to be anyways. It’s strong but nowhere near the strength of five sprays of interlude.

Reckless Leather/Opus VII is pretty intense and performs like crazy. It’s very polarizing though and the spices are heavy. If you dig heavy spices and leather you’ll love this one.

Memoir Man is really nice too.

I agree with waldganger and primotenore's combined recommendations: Apart from Interlude, my favorites are also Figment, Memoir, Gold, and Epic...

 

[jal123]

totally different vibe but long lasting beast is beach hut,. i own 15 amouage ,and this alongside interlude and possibly sunshine are the strongest on me.

Memoir Man for incense. I think Mudassir may have a vintage bottle in his sales thread.

I'd also look to Naylor's splits thread for vintage Dia Man.

No love for Bracken Man? It's the only bottle from Amouage that I have been compelled to purchase so far. I haven't tried all of them yet though, and a few mentioned here sound really interesting...

 

[jansch]

Tbh, any and every Amouage is worth trying at least. Here are a couple of below-the-radar Amouages which I personally love:

Imitation Man, Powdery rose and leather, kinda understated
Sunshine Man, it's like a sweeter neon version of Eau Noire.

 

[Ken_Russell]

Many great recommendations, seconding especially Bracken and also adding Fate for Men

 

[Brooks Otterlake]

No love for Bracken Man?

Too much "potpourri" for me.

 

[FullCollapse]

Fate, Journey, Overture and Boundless all sound very interesting. Time to order some samples.

 

[Tonyprince]

I love several of the perfumes that have been named but I want to amplify Ken_Russell's vote for Fate Man (which is now discontinued but still available). If you like Jubilation XXV and enjoy a good dose of cumin, you are sure to enjoy it. It's one of my favorites Amouage perfumes.

 

[RedRaider430]

I like Beach Hut Man (one spray is enough!) and Dia Man.

 

[tinfoilhatdude]

5 sprays of each one.

I also used 5 sprays of Jubilation XXV for Men with poor results. Heavenly magnificent, but nearly undetectable after an hour. And not terribly strong for the first hour. This was a magnetic cap Made in Oman bottle for those that keep track. I think my skin just eats incense fragrances, as I have this same problem with several similar bottles.


I've tried Journey Man with better results. 5 sprays made the profile lean feminine, but 2-3 is the perfect amount to get wafts throughout a 10-hour (indoor) workday.

My only Amouage to date is Opus VII, so another vote for this one.

I love it, but I would not recommend it as a blind buy if you don't dig sexy, stanky, skanky beasts --"reckless leather" is exactly right, and then add sweaty, raunchy sex, plus a nuclear blast of spices.

 

[Andy the frenchy]

Opus VII, by a mile.

Then also:
Journey
Epic
Bracken
Myths

The most recent releases I tried (Royal Tobacco, Boundless, Meander, Overture) were good, but not Amouage-prices good.

 

[Pheusinger]

Amouage is a pretty amazing house. I've yet to try any of the Opus, but at this point my favorites are:

Interlude Black Iris
Gold
Bracken
Imitation
Beach Hut
Jubilation XXV
Myths
Epic

Quality, performance and originality are all top notch.

I'm glad you like this one!

After spending some quality time with a decant, I bought a full bottle. (Not at full price, thankfully.)

Quick, thankfully not OT question: Is there a difference between the black bottle and the "Reckless Leather" cream-colored one? (I sampled and bought the first.)
