What does Interlude 53 smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated very strong, and most voters pick fall and winter, with summer rarely chosen. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and sits in the background for office or daily wear. Around half of voters call it masculine, and very few call it feminine.

Bergamot gives a brief freshness at the top before pimento and oregano turn it spicy. In the heart, frankincense, amber, opoponax and cistus build a resinous, smoky warmth, while oud, patchouli, leather and sandalwood leave a woody, leathery weight underneath. Amouage Interlude Man and Monkoku Amber Incense have a close profile.
