What do reviewers say about I-Ristretto and Interlude Black Iris?
Not a coffee fragrance for people who want to smell like a coffee shop. The bean is there, filtered through iris powder, rendered almost abstract. If you've ever wanted the ritual without the literal.I-Ristretto
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
