Amouage Overture 41 Woman Extrait

Description

Overture 41 Woman is Annick Ménardo's own creation, reimagined at Extrait strength. Part of Amouage's 2026 Exceptional Extraits collection, it's a concentrated 41% reworking of Ménardo's original Overture Woman. Calvados-like boozy fruit, saffron, frankincense, and cinnamon open with spiced warmth, before geranium, benzoin, rose, and sandalwood take the heart. The base settles into leather, patchouli, labdanum, and vanilla for a rich, ambery finish.

Scent Character

A boozy, spiced amber-woody Extrait: brandy-like fruit and saffron at the top, a rose-sandalwood heart, and a leathery, resinous vanilla-labdanum base.

Translation: a warm, boozy spiced amber, closer to a rich amber-leather than a floral.
