Episode 96 of Love At First Scent

This was a YouTube Live broadcast streamed on Saturday 30th May 2020. Unscripted. Unedited. Unrehearsed.

In this episode, I covered the brand new Amouage Interlude Black Iris Man (or Interlude Man Black Iris, depending on who you ask) composed by Pierre Negrin.

This release is significant as it is the first perfume from the brand following the departure of their much-loved Creative Director Christopher Chong. In the video, I delve into the context from which this perfume emerges, and I also provide some info on the brand's new "Chief Experience Officer", Renaud Salmon. As it happens, Monsieur Salmon was watching the broadcast and joined the discussion, so make sure you enable 'live chat' if you'd like to see what he wrote.

Here's the blotter update...

As Black Iris reaches its drydown, it becomes more and more similar to the original, displaying that familiar contrast between the furious heat of the agar smoke and the heavier, more tranquil sensibility of the resins. Almost every single time when I smelt the two 'blind', I was able to distinguish one from the other: the original had that roughness, that edginess I mention in the video. But, I confess, there was at least one time when I couldn't tell them apart, which tells you how closely related to each other they are. My final words on Black Iris echo what I said at the end of the broadcast: as a flanker, this is excellent. And I hope it bodes well for the future of the brand.

Thanks again for watching.
