Interlude

Afnan

Supremacy Incense

82%accuracy

Supremacy Incense leans heavier into incense smokiness compared to Interlude's more balanced incense-oud interplay. The original offers superior longevity and sillage, while the clone's performance is good but noticeably more moderate after 6-8 hours.

Paris Corner

Killer Oud

78%accuracy

Paris Corner's version performs adequately in projection and longevity but exhibits a less refined oud character and slightly less nuanced amber-musk blend. The original maintains better composure and elegance throughout its development, while the clone can feel more one-dimensional in the dry-down.

Fragrance World

Abraaj Valour

78%accuracy

The original Interlude has greater depth and sillage, with a more prominent and refined oud presence in the base. Abraaj Valour's longevity is adequate but trails behind the designer version, and the overall composition feels slightly flattened in comparison.

Zimaya

Evolution

78%accuracy

Zimaya's Evolution has marginally shorter longevity (4-5 hours vs 6+ hours) and softer sillage compared to Interlude. The original possesses a more nuanced interplay between the floral and woody notes, while the clone reads slightly more linear.

Maison Alhambra

Ethnic Oud

76%accuracy

The clone misses some of the delicate jasmine florality and exhibits slightly shorter longevity compared to the designer version. Ethnic Oud presents a more straightforward oud-forward interpretation rather than the sophisticated balance of spice, florals, and woody elements in Interlude.

Shaghaf

Oud Abyad Swiss Arabian

76%accuracy

The clone lacks the creamy vanilla sweetness and depth in the dry-down that makes Interlude distinctive. Swiss Arabian's version is brighter but thinner overall, with reduced longevity and a less luxurious feel despite starting similarly.

Ard Al Zaafaran

Midnight Oud

72%accuracy

Midnight Oud emphasizes oud more prominently in the heart, whereas Interlude maintains better balance between florals and woods. The clone also tends to have slightly less longevity and a closer sillage compared to the original's broader projection.

Fragrance World

Abraaj Velour Night Iris

72%accuracy

The clone introduces a noticeable iris note in the heart that wasn't present in the original, creating a softer, more traditionally 'perfumey' middle note. Interlude's ambroxan is either absent or severely diminished in the clone, resulting in less enveloping warmth and a slightly thinner overall performance.

Dua

Sanctuary

78%accuracy

Sanctuary tends to perform shorter on skin with less sophisticated note separation, while the original's amber and musk create a more luxurious, creamy finish. The clone's incense and oud reads slightly more synthetic compared to Amouage's refined composition.
