A lighter and more versatile version of Interlude. If it’s true that at the start the violet leaves of Portrayal are perceived, moving to the dry-down where the middle and base phases are exactly the same as the original. Although it’s not a novel aroma, it’s appreciated to be able to use this attenuated version of the blue beast on more occasions. Regarding its quality, there’s not much to say about this EXTRAORDINARY house.
This fragrance is like a good musician who has matured. It doesn’t need to play at full volume or impress with a thousand notes per second. It’s more subtle and does what it has to do. It’s exactly what the scent needed. If you love Interlude, here it is. Slightly more subtle, more restrained, more proper. It knows how to behave in any occasion. It knows it’s powerful, but it doesn’t have to announce it all the time. It retains all the virtues and refines them. Without a doubt, a magical evolution.
I start by saying I like the original Interlude a lot; it seems to me a great example of niche perfumery. I have the magnetic cap bottle, manufactured in Oman in a 2019 batch, and for me it’s not the top 1 for projection/longevity nor a fragrance as difficult to wear as its fame suggests. Now, regarding Black Iris (comparisons are inevitable and reasonable). The opening is quite fresher than the original (though it remains heavy); the classic myrrh is noticeable but camouflaged by a clean violet and the freshness of bergamot. It’s curious that the opening seems similar despite the different notes; it’s slightly sweeter due to the frankincense and amber. The opening seemed more muted (less projection and character) than the original, with less grace, though more wearable thanks to the sweet notes and being less oriental. The first impression regarding composition and quality is that it falls into the niche range of ~150€ instead of ~250€. At 20 minutes, the rosemary is felt, and what seemed a nonsensical version gains charm, giving it a great herbal touch; along with that note, the iris joins; this duo gives it all the character. We don’t have the typical Prada-style makeup iris; it has a strong touch, more natural, something real and refined, not a fine distillation; it suits it perfectly. Pity that currently the base is too sweet and I don’t like the combination. At 45 minutes, everything integrates and becomes pleasant; the iris note is excellent, with many nuances and depth; of this type of non-powdery iris, it’s the best I’ve tried. The main problem is maintaining a base that is too creamy and sweet, despite the quality of the fresh notes and the oud, and the excellent presence of the iris, but the ensemble doesn’t stand out entirely. I qualify the longevity: until I sought it, it lasted 10 hours, but from the seventh hour onwards, only the oud is felt (of very good quality, nothing synthetic or chocolate-like). I wouldn’t include it as longevity and would leave it at 7 hours. Scent: 6.9/10, Longevity: 7.5/10, Projection: 7.4/10, Emotional: No, Originality: 6.5/10, Price: 300€ (100ml), Recommended: Low-Medium
I’ve never tried the original, so I can’t compare them. It’s a fragrance for experienced noses, balanced, playing between light and darkness with a very smoky opening that will likely turn away those approaching for the first time. The oud and a rough leather are the protagonists; the oud is noticeable, without being heavy, invasive, or metallic as often happens, allowing the incense to become more carnal. I admit it’s beautiful when the iris appears, mitigating the power of the dark notes and resulting in a very suitable scent for a man. It evokes gothic or noir atmospheres, dark and dangerous places. The iris here is bright but also dirty, very daring and overwhelming at first. There’s a phase where the iris temporarily devours the smokiness, which reminds me of ash. After a few hours, on my skin, it changes: a smoky and woody sweetness comes to life, surprising me; surely it’s the cedar along with the sandalwood and vanilla, transforming the composition into a pampered panther after the threatening beginning. It’s a fragrance in its own right; better to try it before buying as it walks different paths from the usual.
What if we made an interlude for an audience under 35? If Interlude is Darth Vader, this Interlude Iris would be Kylo Ren. It has the ‘medicinal’ properties of its older brother but with notes that rejuvenate it. For those who want to wear something to make a mark, different and wearable without ‘intoxicating’ (in a good sense) those around you so much.
I love it. It’s an elegant fragrance perfect for autumn and winter. If you’re looking for compliments, perhaps it’s not the ideal choice, but if what you want is to make a presence with your scent, it definitely achieves that.
I must clarify that these are personal impressions. Black Iris shares the same DNA as Interlude Man, nothing new. It starts very similarly to the original: strident, potent, almost pyrotechnic. But once that combustion subsides, smoky and incense notes emerge, revealing an aromatic layer of amber, vanilla, myrrh, and a hint of violet, all contained to finish on a woody base where the oud, with hints of burnt wood, shines. It’s Interlude with 80% of the volume but more aromatic notes. Ultimately, vanilla, oud, and a touch of chocolate predominate, creating a pleasant and warm scent. It’s elegant, like Interlude but more refined and formal. Ideal for mature men who appreciate opulent oriental compositions. I don’t see it as cheaper, but rather more versatile. Use it to leave an unforgettable mark. Formal and special occasions, best in cold climates. Scent 8.5/10, Sillage 10/10, Longevity 9/10, Projection 9/10
This fragrance could certainly replace Interlude in my collection; it’s more wearable, less ‘aggressive’, and shares the same DNA with excellent longevity. The iris stands out particularly at the start, softening the original’s explosiveness and making the dry-down almost identical. Plus, the bottle is gorgeous. If Interlude Man proved difficult to wear for you, this is your option. 10/10

Interlude Black Iris seems to me an excellent flanker in a world where this idea does not always work out well. It seems more buttery, luminous and curiously more spicy/pungent. The Interlude DNA is noticeable, well-resinous and incensed, but as many have said, more usable in climates that are not so cold. Regarding the pungency I find, it is probably due to the rosemary, violet and cedar, but every time I try it, I like it more and see it within its wave, super original. It is true that it brings small reminiscences of Ferragamo Oud, but that one goes more towards leather and woods. Personally, I prefer the original Interlude because that sweetness of the resins and the spicy part of oregano and cumin I like a bit more because, despite how beastly it is, it seems balanced to me and a bit more “mysterious”, if I can qualify it in some way. Brutal performance, unisex, a bit more versatile as I said, and it is worth trying and even betting on it, as I do not see it as redundant compared to its mother fragrance. Note: 7.5/10
It’s an Interlude where the iris makes it friendlier than the original; a modern, superior gem for those who can’t handle the first. It adds elegance but isn’t a beast; it’s lighter and doesn’t project as much on my skin. It’s super versatile, day or night, in cold or heat (though in intense heat it can sometimes be too much). Apologies for the comparisons with Interlude, they’re inevitable. Very interesting; if you’re a fan of the other, give it a try and you’ll surely like it.
We are faced with an Interlude where the difference is the iris note, which makes it friendlier than its predecessor, more bearable for people who cannot stand Interlude. For me, it is an absolute jewel of modern perfumery and unsurpassed. This addition of the iris note also adds a touch of elegance and sophistication. However, do not expect it to be a beast like Interlude; for me, this is much less heavy and does not project as much as its homonym; at least on my skin, I do not feel it as much. For use both day and night and for me, much more versatile, for cold and hot climates without any problem, although in the heat, perhaps some people might find it a bit too much. And forgive my constant comparisons with Interlude, but it is inevitable. A very interesting perfume, and if you are a fan of Interlude, you must try it; you will surely like it.
This flanker is a Light version of the Blue Beast. This makes it much more versatile (but definitely not for informal wear or in the heat), good work by Amouage. It lasts and projects less than the Blue Beast, but it is still very much worth it. To the Blue Beast, I give a 9.9 (the highest rating I have ever given a perfume); to this perfume, I give a 9.0.
I will save you from reading the rest of the comments, and by the way, a few dollars. It smells like a garbage bag; it is completely unpleasant for any Westerner, despite what the snobs of the community say who have a certain passion for bad smells. It lasts a long time, though.
I had the opportunity to smell this and the normal Interlude, and compare it with my Midnight Oud to see if the similarity was true: it smells identical to the MO, only sweeter in the dry-down, but the opening seemed the same to me, which makes this version more wearable (perhaps?) and versatile. Another one for the shopping list.
An incredible fragrance. Mysterious and sophisticated. It mixes the sharpness of the various herbs with the creaminess of the iris. A perfume that pleases others and oneself, with beastly longevity and projection. In my opinion, it is the best of the brand. I am completely in love.

A first-class fragrance. I totally agree with ViceCity990; you can practically distinguish the scents one by one; each one has remained very defined.
A first-class fragrance; I fully agree with ViceCity990; the scents are distinct, one by one, and each note has settled very clearly.
Smells expensive, smells opulent. Masculine, more docile than the normal Interlude version, but also a bit more enjoyable in my opinion. I love it for going elegantly or simply formally.
Wonderful. A light Interlude, an olfactory delight. Much more versatile than its Hard version, a pleasure for day and night and all seasons included, spring and summer, since the original is super-wintery. With this, you can go anywhere all day; you feel it always with you, there accompanying you like a warm embrace. A great success worth every penny.
A work of art; the best of the Interlude range, and I will continue to think so of this beautiful fragrance. If Interlude and Interlude 53 were already something incredible, this is another level for me. It is far more elegant and versatile, slightly sweeter with that touch of iris and violet, aldehydic and lightly creamy, while maintaining the authentic incense base of Interlude, with leather and oud that give it a mature, serious yet sophisticated feel. One of my favourite perfumes of all time 💙 10/10
