Interlude Black Iris
About
Smoky-spicy Interlude Black Iris opens with bergamot, rosemary, and violet leaf, then moves into a dense incense-myrrh heart softened by velvety orris. Leather, oud, sandalwood, and patchouli build a dark woody trail with confident longevity.
Amouage Interlude Black Iris opens with dry bergamot, cool violet leaf, and herbal rosemary. In the heart, dense incense and myrrh rise quickly, while orris adds a velvety, slightly powdery texture. Vanilla and amber soften the composition without turning it sugary; the effect is warm resin and soft shadow. In the base, leather, oud, sandalwood, patchouli, and cedar leave a dark woody trail with strong persistence. The character is smoky-spicy and controlled, with clear depth. Projection feels above average, and the scent holds firmly through the day. It performs best in the evening and in cooler weather, when a strict, rich woody-incense profile feels right.
