Interlude Black Iris

Interlude Black Iris by Amouage – launched in 2020, blended by Pierre Negrin, this one’s like the darker, moodier cousin of the original Interlude. It kicks off with a green, slightly spicy opening—violet leaf, rosemary, and bergamot giving it a crisp, herbal vibe that’s fresh but with a dark edge. The heart is where it goes full Amouage: smoky, resinous, and deep—orris, olibanum, myrrh, labdanum, amber, and a touch of bergamot swirling together like incense in an ancient temple. The base? That’s where it really gets smooth and woody—leather, oud, sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar create a smoky, creamy, and slightly dirty dry-down that lingers for hours.

Final Verdict: Interlude Black Iris by Amouage is dark, it’s rich, and it’s got that mysterious stranger in the corner vibe that keeps people guessing. It’s an Oriental Woody scent that both guys and gals can rock, but it’s bold, rich, and not for the faint of heart.
