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.
This one's a proper marmite scent - you'll either love its edgy, raw leather charm or find it an absolute scrubber. It's a journey from industrial grit to soft, hay-infused leather, but be warned: this isn't for the faint-hearted or those who prefer boring, safe scents. A bold, divisive statement piece.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.
Occasions
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.
Seasons
An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.
Occasions
Its distinctive and intense opening, often described as industrial or automotive, might be too much for a professional office setting. However, its bold leather-hay drydown makes it suitable for casual wear and unique date nights, appealing to those who appreciate a rebellious edge, but less so for formal events.
