To me this is a muted spicy fragrance, it’s not an in your face oriental. On first application I get the toasted caraway and pencil shavings, not my style of fragrance so I wasn’t impressed at the start. It develops into a quiet and discreet woody amber which I definitely prefer to the opening. Lasted about 4 hours on my skin.
toreto12 – :
It’s mesmerizing. Soft, slightly powdery but not overly so, soft subdued spices amber with a touch of vanilla. The incense really come through in the middle and then fade but not completely disappear in the background.
It reminds me of Georgia by Robin McGraw. They are very similar in how they smell to my nose. The longevity is incredible 12+ hours. Silage is arms length easy for 4 hours. It’s inoffensive,just quality and very well done.

I got a sample of this along with a bottle of Memoir and it makes sense why I fell in love with this. Both were made by Daniel Maurel. Now I need to get a bottle of this as well! Absolutely beautiful and versatile.
AlisaBustik – :
This is The Perfume for me, of which I’ve never had a bottle due to its price. I buy samples every now and then to experience it – it’s deep and complex, very long lasting on my skin (and near forever on clothes – it survives washing), oriental, feminine but not girly. The spices, flowers and woods together create something unique – I have yet to find a similar scent. I highly recommend to try a sample – it’s a revelation.

Swapped, DC/Rose Poivree’ for this…very smart of me. Beautiful stuff, here…wow.

Also, luckily for me, I am not getting stellar performance. It was a skinscent by hour 4. For that much a bottle, as gorgeous as the scent is, I want it to project for a long time.

@nuitdenoel
I have to ask….what is Fafnir?
di9m9a9 – :
A dear Fragrantica scent me a sample of this almost a year ago and I never opened it because I was afraid I would fall in love and a bottle is just so expensive. I opened it today.
Damnit.
It is gorgeous. Roses and spice. I’m going to hoard my sample like Fafnir.
alisk – :
I bought this as a sample along with a sample of Fate and a bottle of Memoir. I truly love all three but Epic was a blind buy based on reviews and I was truly knocked out by how wonderful it is! It is a great fragrance for those who like the spicy, woody smells of winter but may not want a more stereotypical spring/summer scent. It still exudes this warmness that is great in the day and night that I think works not just in spring/summer but also in the fall/winter! I am tempted to buy a bottle now after this or at least a bigger size because of how gorgeous this scent is.
skandaererS – :
I want this perfume so badly!
Amazing oriental with a hint of rose, longlasting, sexy, pure seduction in a bottle.
karloff22 – :
It’s amazing! maybe it is my FAVORITE perfume in summer.
First,you can taste the mixed delightful smell of tea and cinnamon , it smell like petrol for me , quickly it charges into a smell like herbs in softy(yeah,Pogostemon cablin with caraway really like chinese herbs):0.
Then, flowers are wandering : rose is the queen, geranium is following, jasmine is vague.
Finally, the end is incense and olibanum (smell like plum candy, hh ). I really love wood!
For most Chinese, our choice is lite smell. But Epic women give me enjoyment that female can be both elegant and brave. Wearing it , I can see that an heroine holding a sword head to desert. It really make me thrilled.

The best ever for me, my ultimate perfume, I love it, the pink pepper corn drives me crazy.
Unfortunately my husband doesn’t feel the same, at all…
Dobdromiimmat – :
When I tried Epic Woman I’ll never forget how underwhelmed I was at the first spray, which for some reason with my chemistry was a muted pink pepper melange. I thought I was anosmic to what I expected to be a symphonic opening of notes. Something really amazing happened though, as this fragrance warmed and took hold on my skin- it suddenly cracked open like a flower bursting into bloom. This is one of those cleverly crafted perfumes that is a joy to wear, it takes hours to reveal facet after facet and just when you think it’s over you still haven’t reached the final form. It isn’t something I say lightly considering the full bottle cost but this is well worth the pricetag.

*******
Amazing oriental perfume which truely emblems background atmosphere of middle East along history.
all the elements in this perfume (such as caraway, rose, oud ,insence…)which are arranged in an epic manner fantastically exhibiting battles,conquests and all of the interactions between kingdoms and religions emerges from this region along the time.
So the scent and the value of this perfume is further more than what you may see and smell on a glance or be labeled for example “for woman” or etc… ,as a male I feel it is incomparable and far beyond than that amouage epic man (however that one is also a respectful one).I think this must be considered treasured.
*******
This is a real treasure of middle eastern’s history.
NAKLS – :
Epic is spot on! The opening is all caraway, rose, incense and tea with oud as the backdrop. Woah! It’s breath takingly intense and I love it.
It settles and now you start to detect the cinnamon, other spices and resins. I don’t know if it’s the geranium and it’s affect on the other notes but there is an almost menthol feeling.
I feel like I’m walking through the spice market in Istanbul and then I come across a florists that’s full of dark red opulent roses. The spices are so intense that they just won’t leave my olfactory senses and so the rose fragrance melts into that spicey memory.
Further along the timeline and the Amber, vanilla and orris root just about surfaces. The sillage retracts to moderate after half an hour.
I love in your face scents so it’s definitely my bag. Approach cautiously if you don’t normally go for spicebombs. I think a fella could very comfortably wear this. This is definitely a cold weather or evening scent.
Mr.k1nn – :
Got this based on reviews, as much as it is not a bad scent, its not for me. On me it smells of flowers full stop, no incense whatsoever, not long lasting for some reason i had to keep reapplying as i was tired of sniffing my skin just to smell it. Gave it away in the end. not my cup of tea! I love incense and amber, this was just flowers and nothing more on me.
knv55 – :
This fragrance was named perfectly! Very much a compliment getter.
jcdnhomep – :
My first encounter with Epic was on holiday in Oman. Whenever I wear this perfume I feel like I’m in movie The Jumper and I’m transported back in a zouk in Muscat where the air is filled with frankincense smell. Epic is epic indeed. It’s very unique.and mysterious. I can’t stop sniffing my wrist when I’m wearing it. It lasts very long. But need to be careful not to overspray. Once, I sprayed too much and a person sat next to me in subway look faint and she had to cover her nose with tissue. Sorry for that.
Being careful not to suffocate someone next to me (LOL) makes 30ml lasts for 2 years now. Two tiny sprays are enough for entire day especially I live in hot country in Asia.
ZeMMa – :
You’re in Egypt on one of the hottest days of the year, near the desert, standing around in some tall grass that seems to only help you boil under the sun. You’re part of your brother’s wedding party and you’re getting ready to pose for some wedding photos, taking a smoke break. You’re reminded of how his bride is obsessed with roses when the florist arrives and starts unpacking them. She hands the rose boutonnieres to you so you can pin them to your suits and she hands the rose bouquets to the bridesmaids, who begin smelling them and breathing in their chilled freshness, hoping it will help them cool down in the heat. Once you’re all situated, the photos begin, and you all do your poses for the photographer, trying to stay as still as possible. In that stillness, you notice that there’s no breeze, just the heat of the desert, the steaming grass, your uncomfortable sweaty suits, the light cigarette smoke lingering in the air above them, the roses perspiring on them.. but you also notice the sweetness convecting off of the bridesmaids, and you smile. Epic Woman by Amouage.
kurva – :
I think this is one of best in the whole ‘woman’ line.
Has a lovely smoky note which takes a little time to develop.
I had a sample of this for a year but only now have discovered it’s beauty.
Really nice deep, cosy floral.
Best for the months I’d say.
vlasov_ude – :
Full of spices, dark red rose, geranium, a wonderful light vanillated incense I didn’t smell in a perfume before.
A scent full of life, strong and long lasting, gorgeously blended. For colder seasons.
Really, it is so alive….I don’t get the “coffin issues”, yet :))
zzzxzzx – :
I have to say this is my least favourite of the Amouages, along with Fate (moth balls) and I have a full 100ml bottles of both of them which are never going to get used !
It smells of cumin , it smells of cardamom , it smells of cinnamon – it smells of rank wild garlic and sweat – its nauseating to be around .
Its one of those scents where even I find that there is far too much spice that is cooked into a kind of sweaty curry ,by the heat of a body and it absolutely nothing else to recommend it because nothing can bring it back from the brink of it smelling like stale Indian food . People mention rose – but its not a rose I recognise – I cant detect any rose at all .
I rarely , if ever , would give a scent a wholly negative review , so , I like the bottle , but then, its identical to all the other Amouage bottles but in a different colour .
Sorry , not nice on me or anyone else I’ve smelled it on .
An Epic “fail” for me .
Sever33 – :
I have really been enjoying my sample of this. I get lots of spice, incense and dark rose. There is something sticky and ambery about it wihthout getting anywhere close to sweet.
Very nice indeed. This would be one for cooler weather or evenings, I would think. This is not an everyday scent (which absolutely did not stop me – nor should it stop anyone – from wearing this to do housework) but, it is high impact!
Still testing and getting a feel for this but it is probably my favourite of the Amouage scents I have tried.
Whilst I wouldn’t normally comment on this, the emerald green bottle colour is well chosen. There is something fresh and herbal about the scent, resinous, but also dark and velvety green – like a green velvet dress for Christmas.
rfkbnf – :
A contradiction: tart + green, powder + rose. Epic is a fascinating combination of an almost medicinal astringency squeezing the soft, sweet, Habanita-like powdered rose. Also, the oud here is wonderful, adding a peppery bitterness that harmonizes with the tartness and adds interest to the powdery softness. Despite this green astringency I’d classify this as a big, sweet, powdery rose oriental with a twist. If you’re bored of rose + oud check this out for an interesting and beautifully done take on the genre.
vladivlad – :
Strange, pink pepper used to be listed. Somebody goofed.
qaan – :
Why isn’t pink pepper listed in the notes? It is certainly there. Also, it’s cumin that is in this not caraway. Anyway…this is absolutely beautiful! IMHO the best oud, rose combo that I have tried, but so much more than that. It’s green, incense (frankincense dominant incense), lots of spice, beautiful rose, oud (of the nonskanky variety), geranium, musk, the tea note is quite prominent in the opening, as is the pink pepper, the softer, sweeter notes like orris and vanilla peek out behind the rose in the dry down…it’s a stunner. When my husband complemented me on it over and over, I knew I would be getting a FB. This is a must try, but not a safe blind buy (if there is such s thing). The reviewer a couple before mine, ouch! has a YouTube channel ouch110 fragrance reviews…his review of this one is spot on.
FlemyNelo – :
Really spicy caraway cinnamon, the intense spiciness lasts for about 30 minutes on my skin, but then leads to a rosy oudh sprinkled with pink pepper that does a bit of dance back and forth on who takes the lead – pink pepper or oudh?
Definitely unusual, and not something to wear if you want to be warm and cuddly, but rather when you want to command attention and respect like at a board meeting.
I asked my husband for his opinion on this and he tends to prefer floral fragrances on me, but not rosy big vintage fragrances that he describes as “old.” I was surprised to find that he really liked this one!
8/10
Pravoslavnaja – :
Breathtaking! What an absolutely wonderful assault on the senses. This is the epicenter of Amouage and it’s what they stand for. If you only ever smelled one Amouage and it was this? You would have an immediate feel for what their aesthetic is. This is an oriental of the highest degree!
This opens as an extremely complex rush of green/resinous incense, dry spices, roasted wood and crisp rosy florals.
There is a a deep freshness (if that’s even a thing). Dry cumin that never turns to body odour mingled with ancient wind and whiff of smoke in the distance.
I’m not sure why Caraway is listed as a note as there is no mention of it on Amouage’s website. There is a plethora of spicy notes in here however that feel old, kinda dry and a bit minty. SO many aromas that your nose needs 10 nostrils haha.
The drier stages see this fragrance turn sharper yet rosier still. Geranium and damascus rose team up to make a green rosey aroma (especially in the air)
The spices calm down after a while and simmer in the background which let the florals take over. It continuously stays on the cusp of fresh/spicy/resinous.
The fact of the matter is, it’s so beautifully complex and spectacular that there are a million ways to describe it. You just gotta smell it.
xxxmozg – :
All I can feel is just a lot of caraway, no roses or tea. After a long waiting there are more flowers. But the beginning is very intensive and for me unpleasant. I wanted some cinnamon which I love, but no.
katinazis – :
Epic Woman is outta this world in creativity and enjoyability – for the right person. I never would have though that caraway and rose would have such an enchanting pull on me. The drydown is sweet, piquant, and incensy, and combined with the rosy caraway the effect is much like cleansing your palate with candied caraway seeds after a delectable meal in a dimly lit, softly incensed room. It comes just short of smelling like a stale spice cabinet on my skin; I’m always wary of heavy coriander, cardamom, or caraway doing this, but it remains light and true on my skin chemistry. Epic can be intimidating, enveloping, somewhere in between, or everything at once depending on the individual. It is for the daring woman who is aware of her sensuality and asserts her individuality, inviting few chosen ones into her inner circle but giving them a warm welcome and a safe haven. Epic is not for the faint of heart, but for wearers of Coco, Opium, and Shalimar. It is one of the top 5 femme fatale fragrances as far as I’m concerned.
djalexvvtpk – :
I was never interested in testing Amouage epic as I saw couple of my most hated notes in it:oud,incense,olibanum but after trying and loving memoir with dozens of even more hated notes,I decided to give fair chances to all Amouages,a right decision.
Amouage epic opens sharp and spicy,too much caraway and pink pepper for me to like and something like menthol,I can detect tea from the first second which is one of my favorite perfume notes but caraway explusion doesn’t let me to really enjoy it.give it some time and you will be rewarded with a super gorgeous aura of velvety rose softly spiced by cinnamon,wrapped up in a subtle dark green scent of tea and patchouli
As time passes amber,vanilla and a hint of subtle woody notes start to take over the scent and round sharp edges of spices and tea/patchouli leaves.incense shows up in drydown and it’s more subtle that what I had expected but still,I wish it wasn’t there
Thanks goodness I can’t detect oud at all.olibanum and patchouli are also too smooth to bother me so I find myself liking middle stage and drydown of epic.a real oriental rose with some spices,green earthy notes,incense and woods to give it Amouage complexity
I also admire this perfume’s character:It’s memorable without being loud or showy.smells rich and sophisticated but at the same time feels soothing and humble
I expected to hate this fragrance but I don’t.I even like it a lot but I have to try it more before deciding whether I need it in my collection or not as it’s really expensive and I need to love a perfume to justify spending this much on it and I’m also scared of the incense which sometimes really stands out to my nose But if you’re into real orientals you have to give it a try.you don’t need to be a rose or oud lover to like it
pashakantor – :
It’a all about incense, deep, pleasant, relaxing incense. Top noes are quite intense but after a while it’s soft, oriental, warm fragrance, perfect for cold season.
Green-wm – :
I really like this scent even though I normally dislike spicy scent.
I definitely smell Caraway and Rose which surprisingly a nice combination, and the incense is prominent and smooth. I don’t detect any Oud is this, fortunately, since I really dislike Oud. The spiciness isn’t harsh in this, it’s starts out a little sharp but mellows down very nicely.
It’s strong, but not as strong (in terms of sillage and projection) as other fragrances from the brand such as Myths or Memoir.
rhgjcuesvqg – :
One of the few amouages I like, a beautiful spicy rose. But if you’re willing to spend the money, there are much better spicy oud rose fragrances on the market! To name a few- Kilian Oud Rose, Guerlain Rose Nacree, or for far less money- EL Amber Mystique or Al Haramain Al Kaaba. After trying these other perfumes I wouldn’t buy this, but would wear it if I got it as a gift.
trckr62 – :
I love this! I Usually hate arab perfume, despite me being an arab, but this one is an exception! It so lovely and smoky and floral and beautiful. I wouldn’t recommend to blind buy, but it is lovely if you give it a chance. It’s relationship with you could go positive or negative depending on who you are. For me it’s kinda like a forbidden love, like Romeo and Juliette. I love it! But my sensitive nose will not let me enjoy this beautiful fragrance. Sigh…
ibra.ibrahimov – :
Opulent oriental onslaught….the opening of Epic Woman is possibly even more densely-packed, intense and complex than Epic Man’s! It is hard for the mind to work out exactly what is going on. It’s a heady whirl-wind of oriental spices, roses, and god knows what else.
I do get the famous pickle/gherkin note in the opening minutes, although it is relatively fleeting. Yes it can be distracting. Personally I think the Tea note (in combination with Guaiac Wood, etc) is at least partly responsible. Provides another point of interest though.
Overall, the tart piquancy of this fragrance intrigues me and appeals to me. This quality really helps to balance out the sweeter notes.
It’s not a fragrance that really screams “I am a woman’s perfume.” It’s too sour and woody for that. Definitely unisex. The drydown especially.
I think I prefer the drydown of Epic Woman and the opening of Epic Man. However they are both incredible – and yes, Epic – fragrances.
shurikin – :
For lovers of dark, woody roses like Lancome Magnifique, Dior Midnight Poison (both discontinued), JHAG Lady Vengeance, and Montale Red Aoud, Amouage Epic will surely ensnare you.
Epic is a dense, rose-oud beauty warmed with sweet incense, radiant amber and velvety patchouli.
Rose is beautifully present and soft oud is secondary along with incense, but balanced with rose in good measure. So for those of you who typically don’t like oud, don’t shy away from Epic.
I clearly recogize geranium, a softer, herbal iteration of deep red roses, steeped in a humbling vanilla and plush sandalwood.
Caraway is gorgeous and brings a very soft, spicy, anise-like breeze. No body-funk cumin here! Just clean layers of deep aromatics.
If you have one of the fragrances aforementioned, you probably won’t need Epic. But if you don’t and are seeking a beautifully balanced rose/wood/oud aura to bathe in, add this gorgeous emerald bottle to your collection without hesitation.
Dialogs – :
What a pleasant smoky, spicy, woody fragrance! This version of Epic also got that familiar bitter note similar to the one I find in Journey Man.
Almost all floral notes dissipate within 1 hour, the remaining vibe is mostly precious wood, a very tiny pinch of cumin and a hint of geranium.
The reason why so many women here are neutral about this supposed-to-be-for-women creation from Amouage, is because it is actually a unisex fragrance. Getting my bottle without any hesitation, as I couldn’t care less about its non-Man bottle design.
ANATOLY777 – :
It’s not reformulated, you just shouldn’t buy the almost-real-looking replica from the internet for the half of the price of the authentic.
ROLAND – :
This juice is in complete juxtaposition. It’s smoky yet fresh yet spicy yet oriental yet very floral. It is a complete headfuck of a fragrance and yet oh-so right at the same time.
It’s extremely hard to describe. I absolutely love it and yet my best male friend says it smells like “old lady potpourri, a bit minty and burning… something”.
I would emphatially suggest not to blind buy but to obtain a sample if you can.
Regardless of what my friend said, I love it.
maltsev_alexey-88 – :
I hesitated a Long time before I decided to write this review. How can I put into words a scent that moves me so, captures my heart and transports my soul? I first came across Epic Woman in an upmarket perfume store 4 years ago. I was already ‘initiated’ into the niche perfume industry by then with a few bottles of Annick Goutal. Amouage Memoir and Epic caught my intense interest but I never made the plunge to buy a full bottle because of the price. A $300plus fragrance was just not within my reach at that time.
Fast forward 4 years later, I casually picked up an old sample vial of Epic W from Luckyscent that I had suppressed from my memory and took a desultory sniff. The strange obsessive desire to have it gripped me once again. Within a few days, I had bought my full bottle. And it was a matter of walking into the same store, going right up to the Amouage section, and pointing it out, “I’m here to buy THAT.”
After sniffing so many niche scents, Amouage Epic W still remains my absolute favourite fragrance. On my skin, this is Creamy Caraway with very good quality Oud. The oud here is of the same deep herbaceous medicinal quality as Mona di Orio’s Oudh Osmanthus. And the caraway here is NOTHING like cumin. There is no curry sweaty note here. Just the most beautiful Caraway. I used to use a very expensive shampoo from an exclusive Shu Uemura Art of Hair series called Shusu Sleek. That has the same Caraway note and left my hair emitting an aura of ethereal fragrance after wash.
If our signature and favorite perfumes are links to our past lives, Epic definitely bridges my soul to a heartbreakingly sweet episode in a bygone era. One which tells of a great sacrificial love, forgotten by time but relived in a scent.
DOWMEN57 – :
Oh my what a beauty! Just received my first Amouage. I deliberated for a week (blind buy!! – mad I know considering but it was a special offer and I do get a kick out of frag roulette). I’m extremely happy with my choice – Epic is divine. Whilst I wear heavy perfumes at any time of the day and really don’t care if I ‘knock out’ my work colleagues – Epic is a perfect day / night creation. Whilst it’s a strong smell, it’s not overbearing or cloying, certainly not headache creating. I’m loving it, I’m sat here enjoying being enveloped in what is to my mind everso slightly medicinal fragrance yet extremely comforting. The initial pepper spray I don’t like, but it’s gone in a few seconds, then it becomes everso Perles de Lalique but with staying power!!! Plus you definitely detect the Oudh undertone. As I run my nose up and down my arm (my work colleagues are giving me funny looks), I’m marveling at how beautifully blended this perfume is – woodsy, slightly spicey, rose and oudh. I cannot get my beloved Midnight Poison anymore, PDL was an attempt at filling that gap in my collection but it has zero staying power. This is PDL moving to MP – smooth, beautiful, divine – I’m in love.
hqk588JeomiWogkig – :
Epic is beautiful and versatile, some call it polarizing but I see it as a crowd pleaser. The sillage is not disappointing (contrary, I think it’s perfect for this fragrance) but it’s not strong either. Longevity is great. I wasn’t sure if I loved this or just liked it at first, but I found myself craving it until I used up my sample (within a few days), so I now think it’s worth buying a full bottle despite the exorbitant price. Epic is not challenging if you like spicy rose perfumes, it’s smooth and full-bodied, on the dry side, and unique within the spicy rose category. I don’t get much oud, so I really do mean spicy rose, and not oudy rose. Overall though, the rose stands out on me more than anything. Epic got me compliments, my boyfriend loves it, and it’s a perfume I could see myself wearing very frequently. I really like Amouage, but if I’m being honest, I don’t think all of their perfumes reflect their price tag. Epic does though, it’s very, very well done. I don’t usually find myself missing a sample as much as I’m missing this one. Kudos Amouage, my hard earned $300 will probably be yours at some point soon. I still kind of hate the price a LOT but I want to smell like this, often.

“EPIC WOMAN”
اپیک زنونه هم یکی دیگه از شاهکارهای امواج هست.
ترکیب رایحه گل خرزهره، ادویه ها ، چوب عود، زیبایی خاصی به این عطر عطا کرده.
مرحله میانی عطر ترکیب رایحه رُز با ادویه ها رو دارید، کسانی که به رُز اسپایسی علاقه مند هستند قطعا از این عطر لذت میبرن.
برای من شباهت های زیادی بین این عطر و عطر رُز 31 از برند لُ لِبو وجود داره، ولی کیفیت مواد اولیه امواج رو حس میکنم بهتره.

Does anybody know whether it has any similarities to Le Labo Rose 31?
Ilanatess – :
I see some complaints about suspicious reformulation here, basically for poor longevity and weak sillage, well, what I can tell is my 15 batch(with magnetic cap) is very long lasting and a heavy scent, a little goes a long way(2 sprays last whole day). Plus, on my perfume-eating skin. I have no idea of so-called “old formula” since I don’t have one, maybe they smell different, but to be objective and intuitive, this scent is stronger and more long-lasting than my most other non-magnetic cap Amouages, such as Lyric, Jubilation, Dia. It stands near Ubar the floriental bomb, definitely a compliments getter, though not a sillage monster.
While I do find current version of Gold is watered down, both longevity and sillage are not satisfing, and there are many discussions of Amouage reformulations, but nothing is absolutely right. Just give it a try.

I was wondering around an Australian department store called David Jones, in Australia it’s one of the nicer ones. I came upon this wee table with nichè perfumes. At first I smelt Black Jade by Lubin and then I came across the Amouage range.
I smelt a few and very quickly put them down, then I came across this dark green bottle, i held it up to my nose and was instantly intrigued….So i sprayed a little bit on my wrist. At first I smelt a very heavy smell of pine and thought, I’d made a mistake in trying this one. Then about 3 minutes later, I put my nose to my wrist again and this hypnotic, warm, woody and sensuous smell came to me. I was hooked!
I found out the price and thought, it was too much and walked away.
All day, I found myself drawn to my wrist and this beautiful warm smell that intoxicated me everytime I smelt it.
For months I have gone and smelt other perfumes and even Chanel smells ‘cheap’ and ‘common’.
Today I went to Libertine and perfumery boutique in Brisbane. I took my husband with me…. I told the lady I think I am in love with epic woman and she proceeded to tell me that I have fallen in love with one of the best perfumes in the world.
She also told me each bottles perfume takes years to make and is 33% real oils. So, not only is it beautiful but it’s also pure and not full of chemicals.
My husband and I spent over an hour on a journey to our senses and she introduced me to other perfumes … oriental and beautiful, yet as far as skin chemistry goes. Nothing hit the mark for me as much as Epic. It makes me feel amazing just wearing it, sexy, womanly and unique.
Even my husband, who never would ever spend that much on a ‘smell’ was converted – although it was a Creed that he fell in love with. For myself, he loved the Epic woman too and is purchasing my bottle this week 🙂
I am 100% converted to the world of niche fragrance and I simple adore Epic woman. It is definitely for a woman who likes her woody, orientals… A woman who knows herself and is confident to go out and wear something different. But be prepared for people to ask you what you are wearing and it’s up to you if you want to tell them 🙂
tractorist64 – :
Nothing Epic, at least about my 2014 batch.
Top notes are great as I remember from the old formula, but 20 minutes later – no sillage, no longevity, nothing really except maybe a faint trail of what it used to be once upon a time…
Such a tragedy, really. This used to be such a spectacular perfume, breathtaking. Back then I couldn’t afford it, now it’s not worth getting.
I’m heartbroken.
Then again, it’s really grotesque to think about how Amouage percieves EPIC – 20 min max.
Edit: Got myself an older batch 😉 yay!
gvozd – :
I suppose it sounds more PC to call it Epic Woman than Oriental Woman. This fragrance is a beauitful green Oriental oud fragrance. Lots of oud. The kind of oud I like. It smells like the kind of scents I’ve been wearing lately in winter time like Rose Taif, Persian Rose Mystic Oud, etc. This is a smoky rose. The incense and rose combination is very well done. It opens with spices of caraway pepper and cinnamon. The jasmine and tea are in the heart along with the rose note. Floral enough to be a woman’s perfume but these are not sweet florals. They’re spiced up and on fire with incense and olibanum, warm and perfumy in the Oriental sense. Smells luxurious and super expensive especially when it dries down to that agar wood which dominates the scent. There is a light touch of vanilla but it’s mostly woods that you wear for days. I love it and wished they had also added a musk note or leather. But this is more on the feminine side as it is the equivalent to Epic Man. This smells wonderful elegant and seductive. Very aromatic and amorous. I can only wear this in cold weather but also to get someone hot for me.

blaxphill – :
Epic Woman is one of my favorite Amouage, it feels like all a very soothing, warm and almost minty eucalyptus similar to Oriental rich but drier, semi-linear, always near the border with the medicinal but never surpass.
Spices are responsible for providing a very hot point although note tea and rich and opulent woods are the trendsetters of the odor of Epic: Oud, guaiac, sandalwood and patchouli mark the thickness of the fragrance that joined the smoky note of an excellent incense modulates assembled a rich aroma background and pink.
Drying, fantastic, leaves you wanting more, is topped with amber, vanilla and musk and acts as a catalyst that purifies all this amalgam becoming
