"Standing on stageacross from Overture Man, Overture Woman is a timeless performance of elegance and grandeur immortalised in scent. At its heart is a sophisticated, confident and well-travelled discerning woman who seeks something compellingly precious, and personal." Completing the Overture narrative, Overture Woman tells the story of a confident young operaunderstudy who is given an opportunity of a lifetime, jumping in on a few hours' notice for an ailing principal. Standing in wait for the orchestra to finish playing the overture, setting the mood for her debut, she checks her gown. Wearing hundreds of layers of silk organza, with a structuredpearls and beads-embellished harness, she has chosen to match it with long, dramatic, greigeleather gloves, completing her dreamy ensemble. She takes a breath; she won’t shy away from theweight of the very high-profile role she's inherited. Overture Woman opens to vibrant Calvados, Bergamot and Saffron notes which are contrasted by the softne ss of Rose Centifolia, Geranium and Myrrh at its heart. As the fragrance matures,Frankincense, together with Labdanum and leather at its base, bring a timeless sophistication to Overture Woman. Menardo explained, "When creating a perfume, I believe the inspiration behind it is every bit as important as the ingredients. A fragrance is good when the accord surprises me. The pillars arethere, they answer one another, I see the pattern, I feel the melody. And it’s this melody, this ideaof an operatic infusion, that inspired Overture Woman. The saffron brings warmth and lift to a composition, while bergamot has a refreshing and sparkling effect. Apple adds volume, while rosecentifolia brings the characteristic rosy facet. Like instruments, the individual notes are dissonant,but when they are composed, they offer a lyrical harmony." - a note from the brand.

THE DELICATE STRENGTH OF FEMININITY An ivory tower wreathed in shreds of clouds, dewy mists of fragile Pear, inviting Almond Milk and beads of Frankincense draw the outlines of a dreamful haven. A princess whispers you in and leads the way to a lush garden where Osmanthus blossoms diffuse their heady apricot scent. A fountain gleams in the centre, its marble edge covered in scarlet roses whose voluptuous scent meets that of leathery Saffron threads laid on the floor. Through Jasmine screens, sultry and spent, the woman walks and there comes with her a scent of dark Vanilla and skinlike Sandalwood, of ambery Labdanum and purring hints of regal Orientalgris: who are you, she asks, and you feel seen. A spellbinding and novel interpretation of the Amouage triad of Rose, Frankincense and Orientalgris, Guidance reads like a poem, smells like an embrace, and feels like a word of wisdom.
