A chypre floral with dramatic poise, Interlude Woman moves from the sparkle of bergamot and grapefruit with a prickle of ginger and marigold into an intricate heart where frankincense meets rose absolute, orange blossom, jasmine, and immortelle, brushed with opoponax and sandalwood. The finish turns sumptuous with vanilla, benzoin, and amber over oud, oakmoss, leather, tonka, and musk, creating a plush, smouldering aura that lingers with confident grace.

Story and Positioning
Amouage frames Interlude Woman as harmony found inside turbulence, a moment of calm within chaos. The composition is presented at twenty-six percent perfume oils and aged for six weeks, three weeks of maceration followed by three weeks of maturation, giving the scent its luxurious density and polished diffusion. Within the house, it stands as a richly textured counterpart to Interlude Man, ideal for statement evenings and cool weather elegance.
Bottle and Design
The feminine Amouage flacon appears in a deep midnight blue that lets the golden liquid glow. The square profile has softened edges and a weighty foot, so it feels balanced when held. A sculpted crown sits firmly over a bright metal collar, while a sunburst crest and discreet lettering give the face a clean, gallery-style look. The atomizer emits a soft, uniform plume for precise wear, and the presentation box cradles the bottle securely for an elegant reveal.
