Interlude 53 Man

The legend, aged into velvet. Interlude 53 Man by Amouage (2020) is the Exceptional Extrait version of the legendary Interlude Man. Rather than simply increasing the perfume oil concentration, Amouage reformulated and aged the fragrance to reveal greater depth, smoothness and complexity, with an extraordinary 53% perfume oil concentration that gives it its name. The Story The fragrance rests for 24 weeks at Amouage's Muscat factory: 16 weeks of maceration followed by 8 weeks of maturation. It shares the note pyramid of the original Interlude Man, created by perfumer Pierre Negrin, and the House of Amouage, High Perfumery from the Sultanate of Oman founded in 1983, presents it as a deeper, more refined expression of that classic. How It Smells Opening The oregano and pimento opening is smoother and less aggressive than in the original, brightened by bergamot. Heart The incense feels richer, darker and more natural, while amber and resins are creamier and more luxurious. Dry Down Leather, oud and sandalwood blend seamlessly into an elegant, velvety dry-down. Instead of projecting raw power, Interlude 53 emphasises depth, richness and sophistication.
