Treat Interlude 53 Extrait like a fine spirit. 53 - not quite an age statement, but an indication of maturity and concentration. A refined intensity that is in fact softer, deeper, and infinitely more rewarding in Extrait de Parfum format. At this concentration, Interlude 53 smells pure but never 'raw' - properly nuanced in its aged and natural tones, reminiscent of the glory of an intense Arabic attar. Each note is present but sublimated, metamorphosed to the point where the usual sharp edges meld into one complete entity. Interlude 53 is not 'just' an oud, a smoky incense, nor a resinous fragrance - it is all of this, integrated as one. An impressive and complete symphony in and of itself, each note feeds into the harmonious whole.
