Black Iris work of art
The Black Iris from Amouage can be considered a work of art and does not sit at all in the shadow of its older brother Interlude.
My first date with Amoage Interlude was not a friendship. Maybe it's because I didn't have a trained nose. Since then, I admit, I haven't tried it because of the opening tones that practically pierced my senses. After many years in which I became a fan iris, Valentino and Dior giving me that lipstick feeling, which I see more as a real wax, because when you smell iris petals with this feeling you stay, I said to try a niche variant.
Black Iris Interlude scared in the first place when I saw that it was a flanker of the first blue beast but I thought that the iris would tame it. Aaaand yes. He was still a beast, but this time he has reached maturity, reaching the point where he no longer has to put flames in his mouth to make his presence felt.
It is a sensual perfume that from my point of view starts from the middle of the olfactory pyramid. This Iris has almost no opening. Balsamic, heavy, smoky. Iris, myrrh, sandalwood and lambdamum go hand in hand to create a glorious oriental floral sensation. It is a story in a bottle, a journey of the senses, a purple dream. Unisex? I wouldn't put my hand in the fire. It seems so, but the balsamic wood tones draw a well-defined boundary line. The longevity and projection of the perfume is bestial. You feel good on your skin after 24 hours and on your clothes ... for days. About the presentation ... royal, a typical Amouage jewel.
