{"product_id":"amouage-interlude-black-iris-man-eau-de-parfum-sample","title":"Amouage Interlude Black Iris Man Eau de Parfum Sample","description":"\u003cp\u003eInterlude Black Iris Man is Amouage's reworking of Interlude Man. The house compares it to painting over an older canvas with a finer palette, adding orris to amber, resins and vanilla above leather, agarwood smoke and woods. At 25% perfume oil it is a dense, smoky Eau de Parfum, and a 10 ml decant is a measured way to meet it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFragrance notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTop:\u003c\/b\u003e Bergamot, Rosemary, Violet Leaves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eHeart:\u003c\/b\u003e Orris, Amber, Frankincense, Cistus, Myrrh, Vanilla\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eBase:\u003c\/b\u003e Leather, Agarwood Smoke, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Cedarwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen and herbal first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBergamot, rosemary and violet leaves start the scent on a cool, green, slightly bitter note. Violet leaf is crisp rather than sweet, so the first minutes feel tidy and herbal. Dark material is in the formula, but it waits behind this clear opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrris in a resin cloud\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the heart orris sets a powdery, earthy and cool tone, and amber, frankincense, cistus, myrrh and vanilla gather around it. The resins give warmth and the vanilla stays smooth and low in volume. Orris is the note the brand adds to the earlier Interlude pyramid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLeather, smoke, wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeather and agarwood smoke carry the base, with patchouli, sandalwood and cedarwood alongside. The drydown is dark and dry, yet the woods give it shape. Amouage describes a vibrant force buried under calm, and this is the stage where it comes up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to test it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWear the sample on an evening, since that is the setting the brand has in mind, and again on a cool day. Use clean skin and a light hand: with a dense Eau de Parfum a little goes far. Give the drydown time on your own skin before you judge the smoke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWearers who already like smoke, leather and resin and want a cooler floral thread, the orris, running through them. It is listed for men and fits autumn and winter dinners or formal evenings. If you wear mostly light, citrus scents, expect a heavier mood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy try Amouage Interlude Black Iris Man as a sample first\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSmoked leather with orris is a particular taste, and the 25% perfume oil makes the effect concentrated. How the iris sits against the agarwood smoke differs from skin to skin. A decant lets you check that over several evenings before you commit to a large bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat is in the sample?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 10 ml decant of Interlude Black Iris Man, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample and Amouage is not involved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat does the orris change?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrris is the note added in this version of Interlude. It brings a chalky, powdery coolness between the resins and the violet leaves, which is the part worth judging on your skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDoes it work in warmer weather?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe green, cool opening helps in mild weather, but leather, smoke and resin form the core. A sample lets you try it on a spring evening and on a cold day, then see which setting suits you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat did the brand say about its concentration?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmouage gives it 25% perfume oil and six weeks of ageing. A decant of this richness offers many wearings for testing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Amouage","offers":[{"title":"2 ml","offer_id":67693390823578,"sku":"DG-AMO-INTERLUDE-BLACK-IRIS-MAN-002ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"5 ml","offer_id":67693390856346,"sku":"DG-AMO-INTERLUDE-BLACK-IRIS-MAN-005ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"10 ml","offer_id":67693390889114,"sku":"DG-AMO-INTERLUDE-BLACK-IRIS-MAN-010ML","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/5938\/8570\/files\/amouage-interlude-black-iris-man-eau-de-parfum-sample.jpg?v=1791499161","url":"https:\/\/decantgems.eu\/products\/amouage-interlude-black-iris-man-eau-de-parfum-sample","provider":"DecantGems","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
