Amouage Interlude Black Iris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Pierre Negrin. Interlude Black Iris opens with Bergamot, Violet Leaf, and Rosemary, settles into a heart of Amber, Orris, Vanilla, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Leather. Amouage's Interlude Black Iris carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

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.

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.
