What it is: Challenging and sophisticated, Overture Man conjures a tale of poise and a sheer sense of mystery. Fragrance story: An outburst of burning cumin and nutmeg introduces a bold and spicy accord of saffron and cardamom enlivened by sparks of grapefruit and ginger. This impressive overture mellows into an elegant heart of fine balsams, wherein the gourmand beauty of benzoin and myrrh contrast a nutty and herbaceous lentisque absolute sitting atop an ambery pedestal of patchouli and labdanum. The theme darkens as it swells, engulfed under somber notes of smoked frankincense and a whiff of dry leather, despite there shining a faint glimmer of sage absolute and the sweet murmur of sandalwood.
