The Cathedral of Smoke

Interlude 53 is not a perfume — it’s a ritual.
A slow-burning incense ceremony where resin, wood and smoke move like shifting light in a cathedral.

The opening strikes instantly: bergamot stripped of its bitterness and a sharp metallic breeze from Triethyl Citrate.
Then the storm gathers. Patchouli Oil, Cedrol and Cedarwood Oil build a powerful, architectural wood structure.

The heart is the fire itself.
Olibanum Absolute, Labdanum and Guaiacwood rise like ribbons of blue smoke.
Ethyl Vanillin, Vanillin Crystal, Exaltolide, and Polysantol melt into the resin, giving the fragrance its signature molten-amber depth.

Secondary notes — Pepper Sichuan, Isoeugenyl Acetate, Butyl Quinoline — ensure the leather-burning effect: dark, mysterious, dramatic.

The drydown is monumental.
Amber Core + Vetiver + Vertofix = a dense, smoky halo that lasts for days on fabric.

✨ The Result

A cathedral of incense and glowing resin.

Majestic.
Medieval.
Unforgettable.
