Incense Smoke Inspired by Interlude 53

Interlude 53 is Amouage’s own extrait rendition of Interlude Man, aged six months at the Muscat factory to reach 53% perfume oil concentration. Incense Smoke by Code Indra follows that same note pyramid, in its own extrait de parfum concentration built for a 12+ hour wear time in Indian conditions.

Fragrance Notes

• Top Notes: Oregano, Bergamot, Pimento — spiced, herbal, bright
• Heart Notes: Amber, Incense, Opoponax, Labdanum — resinous, smoky, warm
• Base Notes: Smoke, Agarwood (Oud), Leather, Patchouli, Sandalwood — deep, smoky, woody

How It Compares to the Original

This is the closest match in the whole collection: Interlude 53’s published pyramid — oregano, pimento, bergamot up top; incense, amber, opoponax, labdanum at the heart; smoke, agarwood, leather, patchouli, sandalwood at the base — lines up note-for-note with Incense Smoke. The real difference isn’t in the notes chosen, it’s in the making: Amouage ages Interlude 53 for six months at 53% oil concentration in Muscat, a specific process Code Indra doesn’t replicate. What you’re getting here is the same accord structure at Code Indra’s own extrait strength, not a maturation-matched clone.
