A scent DNA that certainly changed the norms in perfume world. But please give us a full review of Interlude Black Iris, for me that is the best interlude. Rich, dense transformative Iris that balances the whole scent profile in a fine way.

@@ra.j7210 Incense is totally their thing and I do agree, it’s great.

I must say I felt repelled by this scent when I first tried it, as a sample. And the second time. And probably the next few attempts I had @ wearing it. But then, it slowly got to the point it clicked, and now both me and my wife absolutely love it. I love it's uniqueness, as well as how versatile it is, despite the rather heavy profile. All year round perfume for me. I currently own 4 Amouage bottles, and Interlude is one of those. One of my absolute favorite perfumes with Royal Tobacco fighting for the first spot.

@@SeldomlyOften Fully agree, wore My vintage bottle of Interlude Man two hours before Sunset on a warm summer day (86°F) today with 10 sprays while underestimating its sheer potency. It was mandatory to be outside for the first two hours, then the fragrance dried down to the most glorious smoky amber, resinous incense with light wafts of vanilla goodness hinted in the background. Stunning!

My favorite Amouage is Interlude 53, immediately fell in love with it. So funny to hear someone have the same 'problems' I have regarding aesthetics. I am so annoyed that my Reflection Man has the old font and Reflection 45 has the newer, square font. Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only one, glad to know I'm not 😊.

@SeldomlyOften

Ай бұрын

Yeah it's especially annoying because for some time you could actually get some bottles with the old font in the new boxes (with the new font). I learned to look at batch codes now (if it starts with H it's probably fine).

I enjoy Interlude, but personally prefer the Black Iris flanker. There's just something about that boost of iris and incense that speaks to me a bit more. I am curious about Interlude 53, however, as I haven't tried it yet.

@SeldomlyOften

Ай бұрын

As a new Interlude 53 owner I can say it’s pretty much like the normal Interlude, just a bitch richer and smoother. Black Iris is good but it lacks some excitement.

I was all about the oregano note when I was first introduced to it. Oregano itself is more of a woody-cedar smelling leaf anyway (ditto with thyme), but I've been using the herb in cooking for a long time before then. Unfortunately after getting a decant of Black Iris....😬 I kinda prefer Black Iris. By a hair though. Still a legend of a fragrance and probably always will be at this point. Very surprised at how many brands duped it tbh. Not exactly a super mass appealing scent.

@SeldomlyOften

Ай бұрын

Black Iris is objectively an easier wear. I respect that this has a huge impact on personal preference as you actually get to experience the fragrance more. I’m still partial to the weird fresh oregano opening 😬

Do you own or have tried Lyric Man?, would like your thoughts on that fragrance, keep up the good work👍

@SeldomlyOften thx for writing back to me. And I understand ur viewpoints... Honestly, "Interlude" gives me earthy, Christmas, and Thanksgiving vibes, including the holidays, colors green and red, drinking eggnogs, and camping. This is a good frangence for guys who hunts in the wild and that enjoy the outdoors smells of grass, bugs, and the crackling sound of wood fires and fishing, etc I like to pair my frangence with my aesthetic so Here are two ways I would pair "Interlude" for men: 1) I would wear it with my Palm Angels sunglasses, modern-day oversized wide-leg blue jeans, with a slim fit white blazer 2) Use it as a car air freshener
