Where to buy

My collection

Epic Woman was released in 2009 by Amouage, at the same time as Epic Man, under the artistic direction of Christopher Chong. Three perfumers signed it: Cécile Zarokian, Daniel Maurel and Angeline Leporini. The house now ranks it among its ambery and spicy eaux de parfum.

The legends of the Silk Road

Amouage presents Epic Woman as a spicy oriental inspired by the eternal legends of the ancient Silk Road, from China to Arabia. Its story features a woman who, in the twilight and the desert wind, searches for a long-lost aria.

Twenty-three percent perfume oils

According to the house, the eau de parfum contains 23 percent perfume oils and ages for six weeks, three of maceration and three of maturation. Launched in 50 and 100 ml, it is now offered by the house only in a 100 ml bottle.
