Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Interlude Black Iris
Interlude Black Iris is a beast, plain and simple. It's a challenging, polarising beast with massive sillage and longevity. You'll either love its dark, smoky, buttery iris or you'll be running for the hills. Definitely not a blind buy.

Our Verdict - Aromatic Conflict Black
This one's a bit of a bruiser. While some adore its bold, smoky vanilla, others find it overwhelmingly sweet and a guaranteed headache. You'll either love its intense sillage or run a mile.

Season and Occasion Fit

Interlude Black Iris

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Given its nuclear performance and intense, dark character, Black Iris is far too strong for most office environments or casual daytime wear. It truly shines for formal evening events or dates where its mysterious aura can make a powerful impression.

Aromatic Conflict Black

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its enormous sillage and longevity make it inappropriate for an office setting where it could overpower. However, the bold and luxurious accords, especially the vanilla and iris, lend themselves well to making a statement on a night out or at a formal event.
