    What do reviewers say about Interlude Black Iris and Midnight Oud?

    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
    Midnight Oud earns its name. The incense doesn't whisper, it arrives like a statement. If you've been burned by aggressive oud, this one softens at the end. That twist is the whole point.Midnight Oud
