Amouage Interlude Black Iris
“A brooding cathedral in a bottle — formal-only, never office.”
The take
What works
- ●Buttery orris-agarwood-leather accord that's quietly menacing
- ●Smooth, creamy iris done with genuine artistry — not lipstick-iris
- ●Special-occasion wear — elegant and mysterious without trying
Trade-offs
- ●Pungent smoky opening needs 20 minutes to settle
- ●Overwhelming in small rooms or warm weather
