Exceptional Extraits Interlude 53

Interlude 53 from the Exceptional Extraits Collection by Amouage is a deeper exploration of the iconic Interlude Man, revealing how exceptional concentration and extended ageing can transform a familiar composition.

Formulated at a remarkable 53% perfume oil concentration and aged for six months at Amouage’s factory in Muscat, Interlude 53 reveals greater depth and harmony within the original fragrance. The composition opens with luminous bergamot, contrasted by aromatic oregano and the warmth of pimento.

At the heart, frankincense takes centre stage alongside amber, cistus labdanum and opoponax, creating a rich and deeply resinous character. Leather and oud bring darkness and texture to the base, while earthy patchouli and smooth sandalwood complete its substantial woody foundation.

Where Interlude Man explores contrast and complexity, Interlude 53 offers a more mature interpretation shaped by time. Rich, intricate and deeply considered, it reveals another dimension of one of Amouage’s most iconic creations.
