Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Solo Eau de Toilette
This one's a divisive dark horse. Some reckon it's a classy, unique leather-tea blend, a more serious take on the original Solo. Others find it an absolute scrubber, akin to 'toilet spray' or a 'dusty gymnasium'. Try before you buy, unless you're a gambling man.

Our Verdict - Interlude Black Iris Eau de Parfum
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.

Season and Occasion Fit

Solo Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

With its moderate performance and elegant leather-tea profile, this scent is ideal for office and formal wear, where refinement is key. It's also well-suited for dates due to its sensual character, but its richer accords make it less versatile for casual daytime or sport.

Interlude Black Iris Eau de Parfum

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.
