What do reviewers say about Interlude Black Iris and Spiritual?
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
Spiritual isn't for everyone, and that's the point. If you want a fragrance that announces itself across the room, look elsewhere. But if you want something that sits close to the skin and rewards.Spiritual
