Spices, resins and incense notes reveal their fullest and most authentic expression in the hands of Amouage, who create powerful yet elegant fragrances unlike anyone else.

Overture feels like a return to form, with its masterful interpretation of a striking myrrh note that is astringent, bright, and spicy - it is the beginning and the end of Overture, as it persists long into the deep and smouldering drydown. But what happens between these two points is a glorious story of transformation and expression, gathering scent along its course. Overture is rich but not dense; it is a sort of compote of delectable spices – including cumin, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and saffron – radiating a humid feeling brushed with floral, almost herbal tones, finishing on glorious wood, leather, and mature Cognac notes. It is a scintillating sensation, many parts that refuse to assimilate into a whole but appear to coexist. Overture is brilliant in weight, texture, tone, style - every aspect is considered. Even more, it develops without losing its remarkable clarity. Fantastic work from a master perfumer.
