Amouage has launched Decision 42 and Overture 41, two new fragrances in the Exceptional Extraits collection.

Decision 42 ~ "The question at the heart of the original Decision Eau de Parfum is centred on a bolt of lightning – will it destroy the juniper tree upon which it has inflicted its electric energy, or prompt it to seek a deeper, more enduring life? In Decision 42, Quentin Bisch makes the scenario even more urgent. With a staggering 42% concentration, the composition now features a sharper evocation of the lightning, thanks to the use of Neroli, Cardamom and Cinnamon. The Juniper has been combined with Javanol, Patchouli and Rectified Pine Tar to make it darker, smokier, and more far-reaching. Finally, the base of the scent has been rendered more life-affirming with the addition of Vanilla and Labdanum. These grandiose elements combine to make perfume’s existential exploration even more piercing and insightful. Fierce, uncompromising, and dazzling, Decision 42 cuts to the heart of the most vital of questions."

Overture 41 ~ The original Overture Woman Eau de Parfum is a diva – an uncompromising presentation of operatic elegance. Dosed at a monumental 41% concentration, Overture 41 sees Annick Ménardo take her creation to even grander heights, expanding the Saffron, Calvados and Rose to unprecedented dimensions. Enriching the charms of the Rose and intensifying its beauty is Sandalwood Drèches, a smoothly sophisticated material expertly crafted through a precise re-distillation process. In the base, a seamless harmony of Amber and Patchouli grounds these rich excesses and acts as an anchor to the more tempestuous elements, lending the whole an air of gravitas, authority and profundity. In Overture 41, the diva returns to tell her tale once again, with an entirely new passion and vibrancy.

Amouage Decision 42 and Overture 41 are $550 each for 100 ml.
