OVERTURE 41 – Extrait De Parfum – 100 ML – Women
By Amouage
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
DESCRIPTION
Overture 41 by Amouage is an extraordinarily concentrated interpretation of the original Overture Woman, transforming its operatic elegance into an even richer, more dramatic composition. Created by renowned perfumer Annick Ménardo at a monumental 41% concentration, the fragrance intensifies saffron, Calvados, rose, precious woods, and resins into a powerful and sophisticated feminine signature.
The fragrance opens with frankincense, saffron, Calvados, and cinnamon, creating a dramatic and opulent introduction. Frankincense provides smoky resinous depth, while saffron adds luxurious warmth. Cinnamon reinforces the spicy character, contrasted by the distinctive fruity-boozy richness of Calvados.
At its heart, benzoin, Rose Centifolia, geranium, and Sandalwood Drèches create a sumptuous floral-woody composition. Rose Centifolia takes center stage with its rich and sophisticated floral character, while geranium provides aromatic freshness. Benzoin adds balsamic warmth, and Sandalwood Drèches — produced through a precise re-distillation process — introduces an exceptionally smooth and refined woody texture.
As it settles, vanilla, labdanum, patchouli, and leather create a deep and commanding foundation. Vanilla brings smooth sweetness, while labdanum provides rich ambery-resinous warmth. Earthy patchouli adds structure and depth, while leather gives the drydown a darker, more authoritative character.
With a 41% fragrance concentration and a 6-week ageing process — two weeks of maceration followed by four weeks of maturation — Overture 41 delivers extraordinary richness, intensity, and depth.
Opulent, dramatic, and uncompromising — Overture 41 takes the theatrical personality of Overture Woman and amplifies it into an exceptionally concentrated expression of rose, saffron, woods, resins, and leather.
