Real talk
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 and lavender is a known path. The mint flips it. Not into something sharp, into something that feels like the hour after a long day when everything finally exhales.Unexpected Orris
