Great review Steven. I also love the original Interlude, it was my very first niche fragrance. Something about it just clicked seriously with me. This is an amazing flanker, much more wearable. I feel that the transition to the mid notes is better accomplished and that buttery iris note is to die for.
Amouage for me is like the quote "simplicity is the ultimate sophistication"! An amazing niche company with unique solid releases! Great video as always Steven! 👌🏻
I’m a woman who loves mostly gourmands and rarely likes masculine leaning fragrances. I was testing a bunch of vanilla and rose frags at a niche fragrance shop and the shop owner told me about this new one she loved and it was Black Iris. Not something I would normally go for, but I fell in love and now I want a bottle. Ive never smelled the original, but it sounds like this version is softer/creamier then the original from what I’ve read, so I don’t need to!
It's very nice to watch such a rich review, you've come with details that make me want to buy just for the history, unfortunatley here in Brazil Amouage it's hard to find and incredible expensive. Thanks for to video :)
I've never tried the original but I just received a sample of black iris and I love it! Very creamy, leathery with a little oud. Right up my alley, the creamy light floralness of black iris reminds me of reflection man but much stronger.
Ay man, just stopping by here to let you know I received the samples of 3 of your fragrances today. I ordered 2, and got an extra. The Navus smells good, and is just like Elyisum to me👍🏻 I haven't smelled the Absolute one yet, but that Intimus smells AMAZING. I was Smelling it as soon as I opened the box. I believe I'll eventually get a full bottle of that one. Good work.
Ah, so cool from Amouage to be so hospitable. It is surely in the spirit of Sultan Qaboos and his large. I hope the new sultan carries on the path of his predecessor. The first time I came across a boswellia tree in the middle of desert in Oman, it mesmerized me and I was only ten years old.
Incredible review Steven! Very thorough, balanced and insightful. My current favourite from Amouage is Jubilation 25, I found Interlude man to be just too powerful to wear comfortably- and although I love deep and dark fragrances I tend to enjoy smoother and/or slightly sweeter scents. I am really interested to sample Interlude Black Iris as, from your description, I might find it much more to my taste...
Great Video, I’m actually from Oman but wasn’t into fragrances till I was much older (18). The only Amouage I own is Myths which I really don’t like and have never worn. I’m looking at purchasing Amouage fragrances in the near future, but it’s a bit expensive for a student like me. Keep up the vids
blackknightdl have over 20 but some of my favourites are: JPG Ultramale, Coach platinum, DandG the one edp, Halloween man x, boss bottled intense, JV Artisan pure
Loved the video!!! Many thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to check it out in the store. Which one is your favorite from amouage women line for summer? Any suggestion? 😁
Is the next video going to be "I Wore 36 Sprays Of Interlude Black Iris!"? 😂 Great review bro... I'm glad the oregano is gone. I could never get past it!
Great analysis, Steven. As always, your reviews are very thorough. I am Niche Parfume Junkie so I may get Interlude Man and Interlude Man Black Irish as I to the point I collect fragrances now.
Hi Steven. What are your 5 favorite amouages perfumes for men for a persons who want to try amouage for the first time? And also your take on dia and Portrayal man?
Great video Steven as always, I'm wondering if you have smelled Amouage "Interlude 53" the similarity and Interlude DNA are there, however, it has its own identity and the performance, I believe, is better than Black Iris and the original Interlude. I would love to know what are your thoughts on this! All the best! 👏🏻
In music you can clean up the tone of your instrument by decreasing the mid-range frequency. Do you feel that's essentially what they've done here? And added a little iris in the process?
Can you please talk about projection and sillage? Is it up there or not.. I'm really hoping that people would smell me even from far away whenever I buy this one lol
I had decided to pick the beast(Interlude Black Iris) Instead, I opted for the beast slayer(Epic). I'm sure each one has a different preference, but a guy with no nose would agree that Epic is better than Interlude Black Iris.
Interesting, I bought Black Iris Man aswell and had an extra box like you, however it contained a travel candle, shower gel sample and two perfume samples, Interlude Man + Interlude Woman (instead of miniature bottle Silver). I thought it makes sense to include samples of Interlude products, since this is an Interlude flanker. Their customer service is excellent because of the extra gift and refunding of shipping service, but it makes sense because personally I had to wait longer than a week for the order to finally start processing.
Omg wanna try everything from amouage currently own 2 fate man and imitation man I’m hunting reflection but interlude is one that I wanna put my nose on
I love this fragrance, it has a leather note that reminds me of Tuscan leather a bit, even though they are both very different, they share that one similar note, so If you love leather notes like Tuscan leather from Tom Ford, you should love this one. this goes in a woody, smokey vanilla direction, where the tuscan leather is rasberry fruity so they are quite different but both have leathery smells. which i like a lot.
Hello. Hope you are doing well. Could you please tell me about the longevity , projection, and silage because I am about to blind buy it soon and I'm trying to get that information. Thanks.
Hello! Thank you so much for the comment. I hope you're doing well. The performance of the fragrance is well above average. It's a very strong fragrance, and I get more than 12 hours of longevity from it on my skin. I hope this helps!
After releasing a flanker I'll be interested to see where the brand goes from here. I have the original and this doesn't seem like the dna I'd want from interlude so the collector in me wants it but the practical side of me doesn't need it. Appreciate your thoughts on this one :)
I just hot my bottle yesterday I love it I blind bought it so I was a bit nervous about but at first but to my nose it’s a safe fragrance I don’t know why to my nose it kind of smells like Tom ford black orchard Parfum
Hey Steven, so if we purchase from the Amouage website, will we always get the Oman formulations? Or is it only for this frag and the first release only?
Hey! Well, to be technical, the perfumer is Pierre Negrin, and he works for the company Firmenich. He joined the New York Firmenich team back in 2008. If he's still with them, then technically, the fragrance is made in New York. Amouage works with perfumers from all around the world (Lukas Sieuzac - Spain, Bertrand Duchaufour - France, Alberto Morillas - Switzerland). The company is based out of Oman, but their fragrances are made from all around the world. The "made in" label rarely means "fragrance composed in." I hope this helps!
@@Redolessence thanks Steven! Yes that does clear it up. I was under the impression that there were IFRA-compliant (non-Oman-made) and non-IFRA-compliant (Oman-made) versions.
Man you talk a lot 😜 saying this in a positive way, those details on the history of black iris and incorporating the name to the fragrance, amazing! Would you please share your views on Journey Man, letting me know about the projection, silage and longevity? Some say it's the best Amouage!
I got to try this I love the original probably got to be one of my favorite fragerance made so far but I had bad experiences with iris with dior homme I hate that fragerance with a passion dont like the lipstick smell lol hope this not work that
Black Iris Man does not smell like lipstick. I own a bottle AND I hate lipstick smelling perfumes, lol. The iris is powdery in a very airy fresh way, not lipsticky.
Redolessence only 4 minutes in and youre already talking about art and history 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 your research is crazy! It shows youre in the education industry! Keep up the good work
Love your reviews. Not sure the ghastly muzak in the background does anythng to improve the videos. Its actually off putting. sounds like an elevator in the 1970s

Well reviewed Steven. Love that deep blue and gunmetal grey. Literally my favourite colour scheme.
This has to be one of the most beautiful bottle in the game 😊

Is the next video going to be "I Wore 36 Sprays Of Interlude Black Iris!"? 😂 Great review bro... I'm glad the oregano is gone. I could never get past it!
Very solid and complete review. A positive and honest perspective. I do think that AMOUAGE have managed to make it MORE VERSATILE than the original.
Thank you so much, Jamal!
Great review. Demi Rawling said it reminds her a bit of Dior Homme Parfum. Would you agree?
Demi has no knowledge of perfume!
I don't agree with that, unfortunately. The two fragrances are complete opposites.
Wouter Bakker At ease, Sir. I was just asking a question...not assessing Ms. Rawling.
Redolessence Ok thanks
Iam Love agreed. Doesnt smell like dhi but i wish it was a combo of original interlude with dhi
Great analysis, Steven. As always, your reviews are very thorough. I am Niche Parfume Junkie so I may get Interlude Man and Interlude Man Black Irish as I to the point I collect fragrances now.

Thanks for watching!
Redolessence well, i have a very simple taste: “only the best.” And in YT, in regards to frags, that’s you. Ill always be here.
Love this juice. Had a decant, bought a full bottle

I also ordered at 12 noon...2 bottles....I got the gift set box bonus....but they never refunded the shipping charge for me...
Nice review, great to watch, but very very eclxpensive too. For 100 ml sunshine or jubi i paid 125 €, wont pay more for this.
I completely understand.
Another overspray video coming😊?
Cant wait to get it g job bro

Thank you so much for sharing!
When you smell this, do you associate the smell with the color of the bottle ?
Great looking bottle. Almost want it just for that. Gotta sample first for sure. Thanks for the info.
Could you later this with the original. Or would that come off weird?
Is it oriental woody ? Or woody spicy ?
Cause I don’t like oriental fragrance and prefer woody fragrances.
Excellent review...
Maybe it's me but I smell origano on Herod too, strage thing is I really hate origano but I love Herod and Interlude
That's awesome! It's all subjective! Thanks for sharing.

Will do!

Which do you prefer as I have Tuscan leather but not this YET 😅
@@realtalk9195 i like Tuscan Leather a bit more because its easier to use for me. Although people have said they prefer Interlude on me.
Is this like expensive version bleu de Chanel or Dior sauvage? Does it have that type of vibe? I’d like to know before I blind buy
It smells nothing like those fragrances, and this one is much darker and more mysterious.
Would it be good for a first niche fragrance?
Great take Steven
Thank you, friend!
I would love a video about good Amouages for women- I don’t have any yet!
Excelente Video para una Excelente Fragancia! Saludos desde Mexico 🇲🇽
Thank you so much! All the best!

I can't find Interlude Black Iris anywhere, can anyone help? I live in Atlanta Georgia
www.amouage.com/interlude_black_iris_man
Cant wait for my decant to be her to try it
After releasing a flanker I'll be interested to see where the brand goes from here.
I have the original and this doesn't seem like the dna I'd want from interlude so the collector in me wants it but the practical side of me doesn't need it.
Appreciate your thoughts on this one :)
I completely understand what you mean! Thanks for watching, Robert!
I probably be adding this as well now I got 4 more amouage scents to get lol I got 6 at this moment my favorite house
Do all amouage fragrance smell last as long as interlude man?
Nope
Thanks for the great review. Can’t wait to try this.
Would you liken this release to either Dior Homme Intense/Parfum or Valentino Uomo Intense?
I wouldn't. I still find this one to be a bit on the strong side with the smoky appeal the same way the original is smoky. I hope this helps.
@@Redolessence Carlisle vs Black Iris..which you prefer
I just hot my bottle yesterday I love it I blind bought it so I was a bit nervous about but at first but to my nose it’s a safe fragrance I don’t know why to my nose it kind of smells like Tom ford black orchard Parfum
I have this. I ordered it the day it was released :)
I like it, but wouldn't say its beastly though.

How about beast mode fragrances for women?
How much it costs and any website to shop?
Hey there! I have a link to where you can buy the fragrances in the description of the video!
@@Redolessence thanks 🙏
Great review as usual. Did I hear you correctly? You say it is priced $250 but whereas $350 is popping up in the video.
I made a mistake in the video. I meant to say $360.
Man you talk a lot 😜 saying this in a positive way, those details on the history of black iris and incorporating the name to the fragrance, amazing! Would you please share your views on Journey Man, letting me know about the projection, silage and longevity? Some say it's the best Amouage!
Whats your top 3 Amouge Steven?
I would say Jubilation XXV, Interlude, and Reflection.

Someone just gifted me a ton of carded samples...and i love this...my wife doesn't like it as much...so... she'll just have to deal
The bottle itself looks magnificent
Definitely
Can't wait to sniff this amazing stuff 😍
I hope you love it!
Can Imagine that Iris goes Well with the old blend...
I wasn't expecting the combination either.
Hi brother Steven
Black Iris
I love it
Thanks for watching, Patrick!
Very good review I have the blue beast will give this a try
Thanks Steven! Since Iris just hasn't landed for me just yet, I'll pass on this until my nose comes around. 👃🏼👃🏼👃🏼
I completely understand, Mike!
I love amouage fragrance sir
I'm glad!
Thank you sir
Yes pls do comparison
Will do!
I was/am really excited for this one. I feel as though iris can only improve the composition.
Can amouage expired????
All fragrances have an expiration date, but as long as they're stored properly, they can last a very long time.
I'd probably like this more than interlude! sounds easier for me to experience lol. The blue beast returns XD
Nice vid, please edit a bit and put the notes on screen. Very long.
Unfortunately the drydown is to sweat and creamy for me :/
