By the editors · 2 min readInterlude Woman opens with a brief flash of citrus and ginger before plunging into dense, resinous darkness. Within minutes, the composition becomes a study in contrasts: incense smoke threading through creamy sandalwood, honeyed florals pushed against bitter coffee and leather. The effect is disorienting rather than pretty, with opoponax lending an almost medicinal sharpness that refuses conventional beauty.
As it settles, the base reveals amber and tonka smoothing the edges without softening the core. Oakmoss adds an animalic dryness that keeps the vanilla and benzoin from turning sweet. This is baroque maximalism, deliberately challenging, built for those who find comfort in complexity.
Interlude Woman suits someone drawn to statement fragrances that don't flatter so much as command attention. It wears heavy, projecting forcefully for hours, better suited to cool weather and evening wear. Not an easy scent, but memorable for those willing to meet it on its own terms.
