What does Interlude Black Iris smell like?

It opens with rosemary, violet leaf and bergamot, a light green and fresh start. In the heart, Florentine iris absolute and orris butter lay a powdery base, while amber, frankincense, myrrh and vanilla fill it with sweet, resinous warmth. The base of smoked leather, oud, patchouli, cedarwood and sandalwood leaves a smoky, woody weight.

Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads masculine and classic. Amouage Interlude Man and Amouage Interlude 53 have a close profile.
