Amouage Interlude 53 is an extrait‑de‑parfum version of the iconic Interlude Man, launched in 2020. It delivers a dense, smoky, and resinous opening of oregano, pimento and bergamot, before settling into an amber‑rich heart of incense and opoponax. The dry‑down is a sophisticated blend of smoke, oud, leather, patchouli and sandalwood that gives the fragrance its hallmark depth and longevity.
