Which Should You Buy?
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.
A budget take on Amouage's Interlude Black Iris, a resinous, incense-heavy fragrance from a house famed for its uncompromising ingredient quality. The cool violet leaf and vanilla opening into orris-myrrh is a fair likeness, but the frankincense-amber base here is noticeably lighter and less smouldering than Amouage's original.
