Overture Woman

Signed by Annick Ménardo, Overture Woman was released in 2020 as the feminine counterpart to Overture Man. Amouage pays tribute to the modern woman and to the emotion of the opera: bergamot, saffron and a calvados accord with apple give way to centifolia rose, myrrh, geranium and cinnamon, over incense, labdanum and leather.

Where to buy

My collection

Overture Woman arrived in 2020, twelve months after Overture Man, as its feminine counterpart. Annick Ménardo signed the fragrance that Amouage dedicates to the modern woman, bold, cultured and full of mystique, and to the once-in-a-lifetime moment when nothing else matters.

An evening at the opera

The fragrance borrows its elegance, grandeur and emotion from the opera. According to Amouage, a spritz or two should be enough to give the simplest occasions the fanfare of an evening at the opera, with the confidence and glamour of a self-assured beauty.

Towards Overture 41

Dosed at 25 percent, the juice rests three weeks in maceration and three in maturation, six weeks of ageing in all; it is sold in 100 ml. In 2026 Amouage derived Overture 41 from it, an extrait de parfum signed once again by Annick Ménardo.

What critics say

Persolaise sees a strange and unfathomable creature; Lauryn Beer, for ÇaFleurBon, a smoky bombshell fuelled by calvados, the most overtly boozy of Amouage’s fragrances.
