Overthinking by The Perfume Atelier — a fragrance for reflection
Overthinking is an eau de parfum by The Perfume Atelier, released in 2025.
This is a unisex fragrance with a woody-floral character, created for those who appreciate expressive compositions with an intellectual mood and a noticeable presence.
The Serbian brand The Perfume Atelier offers its own take on modern niche perfumery, releasing fragrances in eau de parfum concentration.
Overthinking fits naturally into this concept: it combines soft gourmand nuances, dry woods, powdery florals and a leather accord, creating a layered scent that is not tied to either a masculine or feminine wardrobe.
Character and development on the skin
Overthinking's main feature is the contrast between comforting warmth and austere texture.
The composition includes the softness of nuts and tonka bean, the cool powderiness of iris and violet, as well as a deeper facet built around leather, musk, oak and vetiver.
The fragrance unfolds with volume and gradually, so its character may change depending on skin temperature, the weather and the amount applied.
It is especially expressive in the cooler seasons: the woody-leather base becomes more pronounced, while the floral and gourmand nuances add flexibility to the composition.
Sillage and wearability
In terms of performance, Overthinking belongs to the category of fragrances with a very strong sillage.
It is noticeable in the surrounding space and can remain present on clothing for a long time, making it suitable for those who enjoy striking, recognizable fragrances and do not seek to go unnoticed.
Overthinking can be considered for evening outings, cool walks, intimate gatherings and occasions where an expressive fragrance image matters.
Exact recommendations for dosage on skin and clothing have not been provided for this release, so it is sensible to begin with a small number of sprays and gradually increase the intensity.
The perfumer and the composition's style
The fragrance was created by Zaga Colovic.
Her work is built around an expressive combination of textures: powdery floral nuances meet dry woody facets, warm tonka-bean softness and leathery depth.
Thanks to its unisex positioning, Overthinking adapts easily to different styles.
On one person, it may emphasize elegance and composure; on another, it may add a softly mysterious quality and sensual depth to the overall look.
This fragrance is less about obvious sweetness or freshness than about mood, details and a beautiful gradual development.
