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 - Agar Wood
This is a seriously slick, sophisticated leather offering from Dunhill. It's an absolute steal given its quality, delivering a smooth, dark, and utterly masculine scent that punches well above its price point. Skip it if you're not into intense leather, though.

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.

Agar Wood

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its rich, dark, and intense leather character, with decent projection, means it might be a bit much for a conservative office setting. However, its elegance and smooth delivery make it perfect for dates and evening formal events, especially in cooler weather. It's too heavy for sport.
