    What do reviewers say about Interlude 53 Man and Interlude Black Iris?

    This is not a fragrance for those who play it safe. The oregano opener is jarring, the smoke never fully disappears, and the oud will follow you into the next room.Interlude 53 Man
    If Interlude Man is a controlled burn, Black Iris is the smoldering aftermath, cooler and more refined. The iris adds a powdery sophistication that makes this one of Amouage's most wearable orientals.Interlude Black Iris
