The announcement of something big - Overture
The name, as noble as it may sound and fit the fragrance itself, was unfortunately anything but accurate, at least for Amouage.
This masterpiece was one of the last (many think the very last, but that was Love Mimosa and not Overture) under the direction of Christopher Chong.
Unfortunately, the fragrances that followed were nothing major for Amouage but hopefully for Chong.
What can I say ? Simply an incredible masterpiece. I dismissed it at the beginning as "quite pleasant but not worth buying", I couldn't have been more wrong.
A literal symphony of a woody-spicy fragrance. Rarely have I smelled smoke, caraway, cognac AND animalic notes so clearly and yet so smoothly in harmony. Overture seems so ruthless and yet is incredibly smooth and light on the nose, not in the performance, which is monstrous. It all fits together, note for note, chord for chord, from start to finish.
Many thanks for this creation to Christopher Chong, perfumer Karine Vinchon Spehner and my absolute favorite house, Amouage. 10/10 - On my MUST HAVE list !
