What do reviewers say about Interlude Black Iris and Fresh Iris?
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
Iris is usually the quiet one. Powdery, restrained, the supporting cast. Fresh Iris puts it center stage, surrounds it with chocolate, saffron, and tonka that turn it warm.Fresh Iris
