Amouage Overture Man EDP

Description

Overture Man is Amouage's dramatic answer to the cognac-and-spice amber, an eau de parfum built by perfumer Karine Vinchon-Spehner around solitude and smoke. It opens with a boozy cognac accord layered over cumin, cardamom, nutmeg, saffron, and ginger, then moves into a resinous heart of myrrh, cinnamon, benzoin, labdanum, and mastic before settling into a smoky, animalic base of frankincense, smoked leather, and sandalwood. Released in 2019, it's a bold, mature composition built for a man who wants his fragrance to feel ceremonial rather than casual.
