Interlude 53

Interlude 53, a Smoky Incense Leather

Amouage Interlude 53 is a smoky incense leather scent. Our version keeps that feel, opening with bergamot, oregano, and pimento before an amber, frankincense, and opoponax heart settles over leather, agarwood, and patchouli.

The Story Behind the Scent

Amouage built Interlude 53 around the idea of chaos and order, all smoky incense and warm resins over a leathery base. The idea was a bold, complex depth.

That smoky complexity is its appeal. The bergamot and pimento give it a bright, spicy lift, the frankincense and opoponax add a warm, resinous heart, and the leather and agarwood give it a smoky base. Our interpretation follows that same bold path.
