Amouage - Interlude Woman Eau de Parfum
A rooftop in Paris. Three dancers prepare for an unknown performance on a film set. The camera rolls. We watch as they compose themselves for their individual roles, refining physical movement, entirely introspective and focused. As they begin to rehearse, they dance for each other, unaware of the unseen audience. We witness the antithesis of dancer as extrovert performer, capturing on film the intimate moments in which their artistry is born.
Momentarily muted; the city continues its chaotic rhythm below them; the metaphoric eyes of the audience from which the are fleetingly released. This is the Interlude. The pause that punctuates the continuum of narrative.
And so we find a pause in the grand narrative devised for Amouage by Christopher Chong. The characters which have defined each of his earlier fragrances are briefly at rest. The mysterious olfactory layers of his creations are disclosed, revealing the quiet artistry of his work. As the piano echoes, the beguiling heart of Interlude is revealed; a serene, harmonious heart is unveiled in a challenging universe of contradiction and disorder.
In the heart of chaos and disorder this floral chypre reveals an interlude moment of unity and sentiment.
Amouage – Royal Gifts from the King of Oman
Since ancient times, the fabled land of Oman has been famous for its unique exotic incense and perfumes. But the trade in this precious product, as well as the entire perfume industry, was marked by highs and lows and, at one stage, was almost lost to the sands of time. Luckily this came to an end in 1983 as the Omani royal family, under His Majesty Sultan Qaboos, commissioned his Highness Sayyid Hamad bin Hamoud al bu Said, also a member of the royal family, to revive the old Arabic culture of perfumery. This event marked the birth of the brand Amouage as a luxurious, internationally oriented fragrance house with oriental roots. To realize his vision Sayyid Hamand spared neither cost nor effort and the first fragrance of the house was the classic "Gold". The fragrance was introduced under the applause of the world press and the perfume became an instant success.
The name Amouage has been carefully selected. Although it sounds French, it is a purely conceptual term consisting, first, from the Arabic term "Amwaj", which means wave, and on the other from the French word for love, "amour". So Amouage means in a broader sense "the waves of emotions." The unique name reflects the spirit of the fragrances: their grace, their luster and their feeling - a very special gift for all those you love!
