Epic 56 Woman is a deeply resonant, unisex fragrance that transforms from a bold, spicy opening into a luxuriously smooth and complex base. It announces itself with sharp, aromatic notes of pink pepper, cinnamon, cumin, and geranium—creating a momentarily intense, almost vinegary sensation that settles into a rich, woody-ambered heart. After 15-30 minutes, a graceful evolution occurs: rose and orris emerge softly, mingling with guaiac wood, patchouli, sandalwood, and vanilla in a tapestry of powdery, resinous warmth. The dry down reveals a serene, incense-like depth, where frankincense, oud, and musk interweave into a velvety, dusted texture, evoking both desert solitude and refined elegance. Its performance is exceptional—lasting well beyond 12 hours, with moderate to strong sillage that lingers beautifully through daytime and nighttime wear. The fragrance feels elevated, almost aged in quality, echoing vintage Amouage craftsmanship with a refined, deliberate artistry that feels more luxurious than the original. It defies gender marketing, appealing equally to men and women alike through its restrained sophistication and emotional depth.
