Interlude 53

The opening of Interlude 53 by Amouage belongs to sandalwood, the mellow grain of madagascar sandal. Below, amber turns to golden resin warmed to a glow while patchouli settles as a leafy dark note after rain. Leather weaves in — supple hide warmed by the hand — while oud settles as smoke and resin in lacquered darkness. The overall effect is dry and grounded, a woody, earthy core weighted with leather and balsamic resins.
