Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Or Black Eau de Toilette

A brooding, vintage chypre-leather that radiates gravitas and complexity far above its budget price. Not for the faint of heart, Or Black is a moody, mossy statement piece for those who appreciate the old school.

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

Or Black Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn Winter

Or Black's resinous, leathery and mossy character is ideal for cooler weather, making it excel in fall and winter. Its aromatic and spicy nuances also make it suitable for brisk spring days, but it can feel heavy for the heat of summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office Formal

With moderate projection and a bold, complex profile, Or Black stands out for casual and evening wear, and works for confident date nights or formal events. Its vintage fougere-leather aura is too intense for sports or light situations, but can fit in a refined office setting with discretion.

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.
