Our verdict on Interlude Black Iris: Acquired

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:

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

Best 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.

About

This is a seriously deep and complex scent that opens with a green, almost vegetal burst of violet leaf and rosemary, quickly giving way to a rich, buttery orris heart. What follows is a smoky, resinous journey through frankincense, myrrh, and a smooth amber, all wrapped in a subtle yet potent leather base. It's a dark, commanding aroma with an undeniable luxurious edge.
