AMOUAGE Epic 56 Woman

Product Information

Amouage Epic 56 Woman is an Exceptional Extrait that pushes the limits of concentration and craftsmanship, offering a richer, deeper, and more enduring interpretation of the acclaimed Epic Woman Eau de Parfum. Launched in 2021 and composed by Cécile Zarokian, this fragrance is inspired by the historical grandeur of the Silk Road, symbolizing the mysterious twilight between China and Arabia.✨ The Exceptional Extrait DifferenceThe number 56 is the key feature: it denotes an exceptional 56% concentration of pure perfume oil. This is one of the highest concentrations available in the luxury market, creating a scent of unparalleled density and longevity.Concentration: 56% Perfume Oil.Aging Process: The blend is aged for an extended period—close to five months (including maturation and maceration)—allowing the potent materials to fully integrate, resulting in a smoother, more complex, and harmonized final aroma.Character: Oriental Spicy Woody Floral. It is described as a synthesis of contradictions, where "cold vibrancy meets golden warmth."???? Olfactory Profile: The Quintessence of Spices, Rose, and IncenseEpic 56 accentuates the signature notes of Rose, Spices, Frankincense, and Woods, setting them over a deeper and more complex ambery base.Scent LayerKey NotesOlfactory ImpressionTop Notes (The Silk Road Spices)Cumin, Pink Peppercorn, CinnamonA fiery, vibrant, and highly aromatic opening. The pungent, warm Cumin is perfectly balanced by the sweet, zesty edge of Pink Peppercorn and the rich heat of Cinnamon, evoking an ancient spice market.Heart Notes (The Luminous Rose)Centifolia Rose, Geranium, Jasmine TeaThe spices settle into a sophisticated floral core. The majestic, velvety Centifolia Rose is lifted by the aromatic, slightly green facet of Geranium and a luminous, soothing Jasmine Tea accord, which provides an unusual, cooling balance.Base Notes (The Arabian Tapestry)Frankincense (Olibanum), Amber, Oud, Patchouli, Orris, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, Vanilla, MuskThis foundation is dense, resinous, and deeply sensual. The classic Omani Frankincense and deep Oud are smoothed by the powdery elegance of Orris (Iris root) and the creamy, sweet warmth of Vanilla, Amber, and Sandalwood. The result is a long-lasting, sophisticated amber-wood scent.???? The Scent Journey and ExperienceEpic 56 Woman is praised for its silky texture despite the heavy notes. The initial burst of warm, exotic spices is potent but rapidly integrates with the magnificent Rose heart. The elevated concentration ensures that the base notes—the Oud, Frankincense, and Amber—are profoundly enriched, creating a continuous, regal, and comforting trail.This fragrance is a statement of luxury and drama, often considered unisex despite its name, and is a scent of immense longevity and moderate, yet ever-present, sillage. It leaves an impression of profound sophistication and opulence.
