Epic Woman is an eau de parfum by Amouage launched in 2009, composed by Cécile Zarokian, Daniel Maurel and Angeline Leporini under the direction of Christopher Chong. Inspired by the Silk Road, this spicy oriental opens on cumin, pink pepper and cinnamon, before a Damask rose blended with jasmine and tea, set on oud, olibanum and amber.
Angela, writing for Now Smell This, sees Epic Woman as a warm, comforting fragrance, so silkily blended that it can be worn every day; Ida Meister, writing for ÇaFleurBon, finds it overwhelmingly beautiful and calls it regal.
What critics say
Angela, Now Smell This, January 12, 2010
Angela describes a fragrance that is “warm, thick, and fuzzy with smooth edges,” in which rose and sweet sandalwood balance the oud and olibanum. She compares it with Lyric Woman, colder in her eyes, and sums up the difference: “Lyric broods, and Epic comforts.”
She sees it as the ideal everyday fragrance for the Amouage lover, one that lasts a good, long day and would also make a terrific masculine, while finding it possibly overwhelming in hot weather.
Ida Meister, ÇaFleurBon, February 8, 2022
Ida Meister writes: “Above all things, Epic is overwhelmingly beautiful, intoxicating as the first flush of passion.” She finds it tenacious and imperious, to the point that a heavy hand might seem antisocial, and concludes: “Regal is an accurate descriptor, I think.”
