Overdose

by Philippe Paparella-Paris

Omanluxury Overdose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Philippe Paparella-Paris. The fragrance opens with Saffron, Cardamom, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Fig, Sage, Orris, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Musk.

Our verdict on Overdose: Acquired

Divisive, to put it mildly. Overdose is a true love-it-or-hate-it fragrance, with its bold, effervescent citrus opening setting the stage for a much-debated, challenging, and often off-putting ambergris drydown. Definitely not a blind buy.

Given its strong performance and often overwhelming character, Overdose isn't ideal for office settings where subtlety is key. Its 'challenging' drydown could be problematic for formal events, but it shines in casual and active hot weather scenarios where its bold freshness can cut through the heat.

About

An explosive burst of zesty grapefruit, bergamot, and orange kicks things off, sharpened by a hint of peppery spice and saffron. This vibrant citrus freshness eases into a surprisingly rich heart of white florals and green fig, before settling into a polarising base. Here, the salty, oceanic depth of ambergris clashes with warm tonka, earthy vetiver, and robust woods, creating an unusual, mineralic musk that lingers with tenacious strength.
