Amouage Epic Woman ~ fragrance review
I wouldn’t call Amouage an “edgy” house. Its perfumes aren’t likely to surprise or tantalize conceptually. Still, Amouage fragrances have presence. 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. 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. Ingénues should look elsewhere.
Amouage’s latest release for women, Epic, doesn’t disappoint. But instead of embodying a particular mood, Epic could be the Amouage lover’s daily go-to scent. 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.
