"Continuing to offer timeless fragrances to those who seek the extraordinary, every day, Amouageis pleased to announce that Overture Man, which was previously available exclusively in Harrods, London, is now available at selected Amouage boutiques around the world as well as for order on its website. With an instantly arresting woody scent, Overtureis inspired by man’s solitude in theworld; dramatic, bold and confident. Created by renowned perfumer Karine Vinchon, OvertureMan is an operatic portrayal of a gentleman’s mystique encapsulated in potent notes of Myrrh, Sandalwood and smoky Frankincense. "Created in 2019, Overture Man’s sophisticated and sensual tone has made it extremely popular andit’s a pleasure to be offering it to discerning clients around the world," said Renaud Salmon,Amouage’s Chief Experience Officer. "The fragrance tells the story of that one moment when youknow you have witnessed something extraordinary. It’s a mélange of emotive ingredients; potent, yet fresh, strong yet graceful, loud, but not overpowering.”Amouage’s fragrances draw inspiration from music, travels and life experiences, that unfold as captivating olfactory narratives.As such, OvertureMan conjures a tale of a gentleman, poised for an elegant evening at the opera dressed in a dinner jacket accented by a moiré silk cummerbundand bow tie. He takes his seat in the audience of the opera house with great poise and eagerly waitsfor the performance to begin, but before the orchestra finishes the overture, a mysterious strangergently taps his shoulder. He rises from his seat and disappears into the darkness with nothing leftof him but his bow tie and lingering scent, a heady reminder of the exhilarating moment the velvetcurtains draw open.The fragrance opens to bold Cognac notes that are starkly contrasted by the citrusy, spicy and aromatic freshness of Grapefruit, Saffron, Cardamom, Cumin, Ginger, Nutmeg and Saffron. As it evolves, it reveals a softer heart of resinous floral notes crowned by Myrrh and Geranium, giving this creation a sophisticated edge, but as it matures, Overture Man unveils a truly timeless essenceof smoky woodiness from Frankincense that engulfs its wearer in mystery. Vinchon explained, "When I created Overture Man, I envisioned the strong emotions the audienceof the opera feels when hearing the opening and the debut of a young opera singer. It’s a piecethat alternates slow and fast rhythms to set you in the mood of what follows. That’s why I usedsome contrasted raw materials, to reflect this alternation of rhythms. Here, the bitterness of thegrapefruit lies against the warmness of woods and resins. I also played with the spices: the coldspices like cardamom, nutmeg, and ginger are opposed to the warm ones like cumin and cinnamon. Just like the unique and intense moment before something extraordinary happens, it is breathtaking, leaving all who smell it surprised and fascinated." - a note from the brand.
