If this sounds like a description of Lyric Woman, the two fragrances do share common ground. Epic starts not with perfume's traditional tickle of citrus, but with pepper and geranium, before settling into a rose-inflected blend of frankincense and rose, tinged with oud. Rose and sweet sandalwood balance Epic's sour oud and frankincense, and a dusting of peppery spices makes sure the fragrance never strays into olfactory tranquilizer territory. Amouage's website characterizes Epic Woman as a "spicy floral oriental" and lists its top notes as cumin, pink bay, cinnamon its heart as Damascene rose, tea, geranium, jasmine and its base as amber, musk, guaiac wood, orris, frankincense, oud, patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla.Įpic is warm, thick, and fuzzy with smooth edges. But instead of embodying a particular mood, Epic could be the Amouage lover's daily go-to scent. Ingénues should look elsewhere.Īmouage's latest release for women, Epic, doesn't disappoint.

Amouage fragrances smell expensive, lush, and carefully crafted, and the house seems to ignore trends in favor of making perfume to suit the seasoned person. Ubar is summer light and laughter Jubilation 25 is carnal pleasure Gold is glamour slashed with femininity and Lyric Woman is passionate and a little bit moody. Its perfumes aren't likely to surprise or tantalize conceptually.
