What does Overture 41 smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick evenings and nights out, though some wear it for leisure or the office. Votes for feminine and masculine character sit close together, so the scent doesn't lean clearly to one side.

It opens with frankincense, saffron, calvados and cinnamon, spicy and resinous. The heart of sandalwood, benzoin, Rosa centifolia and geranium adds a floral, creamy softness. It dries down to labdanum, vanilla, leather and patchouli, sweet, leathery and woody. Amouage Overture Woman and Penhaligon's Cairo have a close profile.
