Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Interlude Black Iris EDP
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 - Opus VII Reckless Leather EDP
Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it punch to the senses. This one's an acquired taste, divisive as they come, and unapologetically bold. If you can handle the intensity, you're in for a complex, masterful journey.

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.

Formal
Also Works:
Date

With its powerful projection and challenging, heavy spice and animalic accords, this is utterly unsuitable for an office or casual daytime wear. It's best reserved for formal evening occasions or intimate date nights where its luxurious and bold nature can shine without overwhelming.
