Interlude Black Iris by Amouage is a dark, resinous iris released in 2020 and worn mostly by men who like some weight in a scent. It opens cool and green with rosemary, bergamot and violet leaf. The heart gathers orris, olibanum, amber, labdanum and vanilla, powdery and cool but rounded into something rich rather than austere. Agarwood, sandalwood, cedar, patchouli and leather make up the base notes, a dark, balsamic close that lingers on skin. For all that depth, the iris stops it turning heavy-handed. Winter and autumn are when voters wear it, at night and in the evening, and it suits going out. The longevity vote leans eternal, and the sillage vote is clearly strong, so use it sparingly. Wear a 3ml decant for a few cold weeks to learn whether it belongs in your season.

The community verdict
For a mysterious, dressed-up mood, Interlude Black Iris brings powdery orris into warm amber and woods. Staying power divides between long and exceptionally long; most find its projection strong. It favours winter nights, though autumn evenings work too, and its strength calls for restraint.

Amouage Interlude Black Iris in plain words
