Crafted as an overpainting, Interlude Black Iris uses a refined palette to smoothen the facets of the original creation. A complex interplay of dark stoic serenity and buried vibrant power bursting upwards, into the light.

I was a little worried it'd be too heavy, but the "overpainting" idea really works—it softens the harsh edges while keeping that dark, brooding vibe underneath. The dry-down lasted a solid eight hours on my skin, and I kept catching subtle whiffs of that buried vibrancy all day.
The dry-down is where this one truly shines—that dark, stoic serenity wraps around you without ever feeling heavy, while the buried spark underneath keeps it alive all day. I sprayed it at 8am and could still catch the refined iris and smoky depth on my collar after a ten-hour workday.
The iris note sits quietly in the background, letting the dark, stoic vibe carry the whole composition—it feels like wearing a calm storm. I keep catching whiffs of that buried vibrancy hours later, and the way it smooths out the original's edges makes it perfect for daily wear.
