Amouage - Ouverture Man
Inspiration
Ouverture Man is inspired by the theatrical world of opera, where every note tells a story and emotions run high. The fragrance opens with a powerful mix of cognac, cumin, cardamom, grapefruit, saffron and ginger, creating a spicy, boozy and slightly bitter first impression. The heart reveals benzoin, cinnamon, myrrh, patchouli, jasmine and rose — a resinous and opulent blend that feels like the heart of a grand performance. The base of leather, animalic accords, sandalwood, vanilla, frankincense and clary sage creates a smoky, sensual and long-lasting dry-down. This is a perfume for moments when you want to command attention.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Our team sees Ouverture Man as one of the boldest, most theatrical fragrances in the Amouage line. The boozy cognac opening is luxurious and powerful, quickly joined by spices and resins that give it drama and richness. The leather and incense base is commanding and confident, perfect for evenings, formal occasions and cooler weather. This is not a background fragrance — it is a statement piece.
