I love Overture man, it’s a 10/10 for me and my favorite out of my 10 or 11 Amouages. I couldn’t understand when people say fragrances can grow on you, but Overture actually took a few wearing for me to understand and love it.
I bought a decant last fall and picked up a full bottle at $190 earlier this year from FragranceBuy, not normally in stock. With great respect and love for so many Amouage frags: Interlude, Interlude Black Iris, Journey Man, Jubilation, Reflection, Royal Tobacco, Lyric Man...and more---this is my hands down favorite. I agree, the opening is a breathtaking blast with so many notes coming out strong, and it works superbly. I DO pick up the animalic in the opening, and I like it. Dry down is superb as well. It is such a classy scent, I've never smelled it on anyone else, which I love. This was Christopher Chong's last production as the Director at Amouage and, IMHO, he conducted a symphony with this creation.
@@rogerowens7888 Jubilation XXV for year around. Reflection Man for very hot weather. Lyric can be worn all seasons, a lot of guys don't like a strong rose scent. I wear the others in warm weather, but wear them more lightly.
This is the best of what i would call the "newer" amouages. Unfortunately this is a winter scent so in texas means i get to wear this a few times a year. I enjoy the whole journey from the blast of cardamom & cognac & smoke to the sandalwood dry down. The box is supposed to be opera theatre curtains btw. Not wood 😃
Just got a sample of this. 2 sprays on my arm. The whiffs I've been getting as I'm walking through the house are amazing. Performance and protection on this is great. To me it smells more animalic when I put my nose to my arm but when in the air not so much. Very happy with this. Looking to get a full bottle
@@davercountingcigars , it is very strong , if you touch your nose to the sprayer you will smell it all day + . I think it’s stronger than Interlude Man . Resins , musk, incense, animal malic . Myrrh heavy.. spicy on skin
Just the one I was interested in, ingredients look rather promising, but could not find it anywhere. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it, now I want it even more.
Great review Ash, I think this is the best release from the last couple of years. It was love at first sniff for me. I get passionfruit in the opening.
I really like Amouage Jubilation XXV, and I'd like to know how Overture Man compares with that fragrance. Based on the profile notes, they both seem to big resin and incense forward fragrances, but with Overture Man an amped up version. I really want to try this one now.
They aren't similar at all. They both got the myrrh and resin. But jube25 is like being in a regal dining room dressed in velvet as a welcoming host. Overture is a smoky pool hall and you're in a leather jacket in a back vip room and people come to the pool hall to see you but you're not always available. I love overture as there's more versatility in wearing it. Jube is sweet and nice but it is hard other than a special dinner occasion at a palace.
@@bryanryan4504 I finally got a sample of Overture Man, and I agree with you 100%. Overture isn't an amped up version Jube25. Both are powerful fragrances, but completely different. If they were movie stars one would be Pierce Brosnan and the other would be Marlon Brando.
Love at fist sniff, that's all I can say. Maybe I have an underdeveloped nose but to me it also smells like honey in the opening, just a tiny bit...or at least it gives me that honey vibe. It's sublime, Amouage really never disappoints ✌️ Thanks for the review Ash.
Its a fantastic fragrance, and for me shares the top spot tight next to the original Interlude man. Wish I could find somewhere to buy a full bottle without breaking the bank!
I absolutely adore this fragrance! Overture & Alexandria II are my favourite winter niche fragrances. Does remind me a bit of black afghano in the dry down
Just picked this one up! Nice review Ash! Dry down....In the beginning whatever it is its totally awesome this fragrance! One of the best from Amouage in a long time!
I've only tried one Amouage fragrance, Journey Man. It's my scent of the day. Got a decant through Scentbird. I kind of hate it. Not sure if that scent just isn't for me, or if I just don't have the nose for niche. But the opening is harsh and sour.
I bought my bottle of a very reputable website that ive always used but I don't know if I got a dud but mine just smells like straight up grapefruit & BO
Where what you like whenever you want. I wear it year round. Most people don't spray a cologne right when they walk in the office so don't concern yourself with the opening.
So how's thos compared to JXXV. Isn't that smokey/incense like? I wish you would have compared...I have a decant of XXV and im only buying one full bottle haha
I got a sample of this along with a few others. At first it was just OK, I didn't care for it too much but for some reason I put it on last night and it smelled incredible. Now I am on the hunt for it. Great review, as always.
I swear no Amouage fragrance is easy to wear according to reviewers either. None of the ones ive looked at on fragrantica even interest me. Does anyone have recommendations om which ones to try. I know im a little late, as in by 2 days but ive been moving and trying to get settled in. Ill catcg up today
I tried this in Harrods London back when it first came out. Personally not a fan of it nor amouage in general (I do like enclave). Overture smells like you'd imagine a Sheikh to smell like!
Where did you get your bottle from? The one I ordered from Harrods came today and the batch code is towards the right side of the box and the information on the bottom of my bottle is presented very differently from yours. My batch code 25342.

Question, in your opinion, which one is the best year Round scent

I'm in Texas as well. Which one from this house would you recommend for us
@@thezionsohoI would recommend Beach Hut for the hot summer
I own this one, opening is the best. It’s definitely funky and mature smelling. It’s a proper niche fragrance, doesn’t smell like anything else.

RIDÍCULO DE tão bom!uma pequena amostra foi suficiente para pedir um frasco,belo review ASHTON !
Wearing it today , your description was spot on ... had to look up notes to find out where that sweetness was from 👍 I’m really enjoying it
Hey. I read your comment. I’m on the fence with this one. So I was wondering how you like it?
Thanks
@@davercountingcigars , it is very strong , if you touch your nose to the sprayer you will smell it all day + . I think it’s stronger than Interlude Man . Resins , musk, incense, animal malic . Myrrh heavy.. spicy on skin
@@famousyoutuber2375 Thanks. Scale from 1-10 ?
@@davercountingcigars mostly a musky leather after the first 5 hours , I like it , most people wouldn’t though
@@davercountingcigars probably 8.6 ... as a personal like .... 6.8 for public acceptance
Just the one I was interested in, ingredients look rather promising, but could not find it anywhere. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it, now I want it even more.
Couldn't agree more. Brash, bold, evocative, stunning.
Bottle reminds me of cognac cafe with the colour and frosted glass. Looks really nice!
Great review Ash, I think this is the best release from the last couple of years. It was love at first sniff for me. I get passionfruit in the opening.
Opening or drydown doesn't matter to me this is an easy 10/ 10. I put it right up there in the #1 Amouage slot for me with Interlude Black Iris.
I just switched to this from BDK's Gris Charnel. It's INCREDIBLE. Went straight to my all time top spot.
Nice review. I have a decant of Meander and love it.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Bought this fragrance a few months back and can't wait until the colder weather to enjoy and we have a lot of cold weather in Yorkshire thankfully 🥳
Just got a decant of this stuff, amouage never disappoints🤝
I really like Amouage Jubilation XXV, and I'd like to know how Overture Man compares with that fragrance. Based on the profile notes, they both seem to big resin and incense forward fragrances, but with Overture Man an amped up version. I really want to try this one now.
Yeah, with overture man being really animalic and super incense-forward.
Completely different. Overture is smoky, animalic, leathery, much more aggressive. Jubilation is way more chill and smooth.
They aren't similar at all. They both got the myrrh and resin. But jube25 is like being in a regal dining room dressed in velvet as a welcoming host.

@@daithi1966 I Just purchased Jub25. How do you like overture man in comparison?
How about an Amouage Overture Man vs Roja Creation-E/Enigma video?

Wuh ohh😂I was just about to sleep but I guess not😏
Sounds amazing! The only Amouage I currently have is Journey Man and I thinks it’s stunning! Where does everyone else rank JM?
Love the bottle, and i bet thr fragrance smells amazing.
I absolutely adore this fragrance! Overture & Alexandria II are my favourite winter niche fragrances. Does remind me a bit of black afghano in the dry down
🤍🌹
Just picked this one up! Nice review Ash! Dry down....In the beginning whatever it is its totally awesome this fragrance! One of the best from Amouage in a long time!
Awesome viddy Ash! Will have try this one out! 👍
Ash!! Great work! Please review Harry's soap and body wash!!!
I've only tried one Amouage fragrance, Journey Man. It's my scent of the day. Got a decant through Scentbird. I kind of hate it. Not sure if that scent just isn't for me, or if I just don't have the nose for niche. But the opening is harsh and sour.
Absolutely sounds amazing! Thanks for the review...great! Definitely on my list of fragrances to get
I bought my bottle of a very reputable website that ive always used but I don't know if I got a dud but mine just smells like straight up grapefruit & BO
Where what you like whenever you want. I wear it year round. Most people don't spray a cologne right when they walk in the office so don't concern yourself with the opening.
So how's thos compared to JXXV. Isn't that smokey/incense like? I wish you would have compared...I have a decant of XXV and im only buying one full bottle haha
Awesome. I really want to try some amouge
You got an alternative to go with that fragrance? I would like to know what kind of vibe to expect since it's so difficult to acquire. 🤔
You can buy it on the Amouage website. 300 euro + 10 euro for postage. I was surprised at how cheap postage was!
I agree with you. I love it. It's a must have in the Amouage line.
Ash....buddy, that opening is rough. Sooooo aggressive. Once it dries down it's nice but, oooph, that opening.
I got a sample of this along with a few others. At first it was just OK, I didn't care for it too much but for some reason I put it on last night and it smelled incredible. Now I am on the hunt for it. Great review, as always.
SO FAR SO AWESOME. THANKS FOR ASKING. How are you?
Thanks for sharing your details insight 👍👍👍
I have Version from 2021 buy few days ago and it is weak , dan my sample 😊 someone have that experience?
They just same released brand new overture last night ; oh boy the best
I swear no Amouage fragrance is easy to wear according to reviewers either. None of the ones ive looked at on fragrantica even interest me. Does anyone have recommendations om which ones to try.

Ok, I need it 🙈
weather here in California has been high 80’s lol that’s our winter. So many fragrances I wish I could try but this weather stops me
Only u stop u not weather
Wonder If Its Close to YSL Caftan🤔🤔🤔
What does ysl caftan smell like?
@@fthewordofman9580 clean church incens and warm Amber.
Nothing like caftan
Not at all. Caftan is smooth and French like. Overture is incense driven unapologetically.
I love how you describe the opening as an overture from a classical piece, where you get hints of what the whole olfactory experience will be
Which site has this one for the cheapest?
This sounds like an amazing fragrance!
Dude the Brand Amouage is already rare as a brand where I live lol
Where you live ?
I can send them for you
It's actually a year old.Exclusive to Herrods 2019.
I tried this in Harrods London back when it first came out. Personally not a fan of it nor amouage in general (I do like enclave). Overture smells like you'd imagine a Sheikh to smell like!
If it would not be so hella expensive I probably had already picked it up :
Where did you get your bottle from? The one I ordered from Harrods came today and the batch code is towards the right side of the box and the information on the bottom of my bottle is presented very differently from yours. My batch code 25342.
Harrods is legit...no need to worry
Loving the hair.
You really should dedicate a day or two each week for niche videos, people gotta know what’s out there beyond the typical designers.
Got a sample this is crazy animalic folks I had to scrub off
Anyone get an ashtray vibe from this?
Great video
It's a Don Draper kind of scent.
You can get for 200$ all day ..
Man, did you missed the performance part? You gotta re-do it
You don’t find this thing funky?
nice explaination
Related to Armani freeze beside the bottle?
Not at all. They are like day and night.
Jubilation is still the king.
@Umair Tallat send me a bottle and I'll review it and let you know bosshog. Want my postal information?
I have the dua version, and if it's any indication of the smell, it's 🔥one day I'll get the original, great video Ash one again
I have both the mens and the women's and the women's smells better than the mens I get more compliments from the women's ijs
Really not a fan of this one.
To me this smells like BO. Not a huge fan.
👍👍💯💯
cries in poor
Sad here in Greece nowhere to be found
Order it from their online store.
Ash you are buyest guy like all youtubers but dont be so obvies
Why do you sit so close lol. Back up a little. Your pores arent pretty.
Kindly exit stage left to the makeup section of TH-cam...this is a fragrance channel ✌️
@@thezaq8956 Presentation matters. Constructive criticism is ok.
If he sat further away from the camera how could people see the bottle he's holding? You think he has elastic arms? Just stop.
@@TrueNorth1217 Umm maybe do like most reviewers and show the bottle up close in a separate shot 🤷♂️
Newsflash: We all have pores. Some just cover them up with a thick layer of makeup.
