Interlude Black Iris for less: Yves Saint Laurent M7 Oud Absolu
Yves Saint Laurent M7 Oud Absolu shares 6 published notes with Amouage Interlude Black Iris (rosemary, bergamot, myrrh, amber, patchouli, oud), and both lean smoky woods. It is a department-store price option.
A strong overlap on paper. Shared notes don't guarantee the same smell on skin; try samples of both side by side.
