It marked the end of a 12-year journey during which Amouage grew from a relatively unknown Omani brand to the international recognition it enjoys today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDuring the transition period, it was important for the company to take its time and not rush into a first new creation in order to properly define the next era of Amouage. Amouage therefore considers the period from mid-2019 to mid-2020 as a creative interlude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSince summer 2020: a new creative era\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe overall story will continue to evolve, as it has become quite autobiographical in recent years. It will encompass the different perspectives of a creative collective pursuing a powerful vision. For most people, the fragrances in this work go back to the roots of the brand in a way: rich, structured and intense compositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe have seen that Ouverture and Rose Incense are very well received, and they have that artisanal patina that gave Amouage some of its uniqueness. We are also bringing back some of the inspiration (and ingredient directions) from Oman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOverpainting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInterlude Black Iris Man was approached as a kind of overpainting of the original fragrance creation. This gives the fragrance a new context in which the notes of iris and other ingredients become more resonant and powerful. The creative intention was to reveal different facets of Interlude Man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBlack Iris III\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eO'Keeffe's large close-up of an iris flower was intended to ‘make busy New Yorkers take the time to see what I see in flowers.’ People who often didn't take the time to engage with nature as she did. This detail of a black iris reveals a subtle colour palette that explores the subtleties of the petals and their contrasting tones.

The fragrance evokes a hint of disorder while maintaining a sense of balance and calm through the inventive use of iris, incense and myrrh. An orchestrated blend of technical skill and creative integrity, the fragrance takes a moment for self-reflection and personal discovery to compose inner harmony from outer chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cb data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTop notes:\u003c\/b\u003e bergamot, rosemary, violet leaves.

A complex interplay of dark stoic serenity and buried vibrant energy that rushes upwards into the light. Compared to its predecessor, Interlude, released in 2012, Black Iris has a few differences:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e3 significant differences\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTop notes: The oregano and rosemary notes have been toned down, resulting in a slightly more tingling and moist opening thanks to the use of violet leaf notes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeart notes: Iris adds an extra layer of buttery smoothness to the heart of the fragrance, complementing the vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBase: The overall woodiness of Interlude Black Iris emerges more quickly in the composition than in the classic Interlude.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBoth fragrance creations are Eaux de Parfum, created by perfumer Pierre Negrin in a concentration of 25% fragrance oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe bottle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe crystal glass bottle, bearing the signature of a man from Amouage, is introduced in a rich and intriguing midnight blue and black hue with gunmetal details accentuated by a sapphire blue Swarovski crystal.
