How long Interlude stays on skin
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 9 to 12 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last.

Interlude price per bottle size
In Europe it costs about €283, depending on the bottle size and the shop. That puts it on the expensive side. It costs more than Juliette Has A Gun Midnight Oud and Lattafa Velvet Oud but less than The Spirit Of Dubai Turath.

Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its amber side feels cosy and rich after dark.
