Thread: Amouage Epic Man

Anyone wear this? I love the arabian style attar's and scents. Very animalistic and containing a trendous amount of "morphing" as it drys down.

I've tried it but I don't own any Amouage fragrances.

They are a well known brand for changing through various phases and notes during the idea. Quite unique in that sense; mind you the bottles are unique too!

As little as I need to use, I buy them in decants. They last forever. Plus I get to try out multiple scents. Perfumed court is a great way to sample them. Currently I have about 14 different ones from amouage, arabian oud, and ajmal. Any attar lasts sooooo long.

I have a few samples of Amouage Frags, including Epic Man. I find it to be one of the better ones (along with Julilation XXV, Memoir Man and Lyric Man). I just wore it Saturday. I also enjoy the woody resins and Frankincense, and it's not overly cloying or stifling like some incense frags are.

I just checked the price of this stuff and it REALLY EXPENSIVE! Is it THAT good?

The short answer is yes! OUD oils and such are very powerful scents. These are actually oils and are dabbed on in 1-2 drops. A little goes a long way with them. Look for Attar's. Epic man is an EDP and while sprayed on also very strong. I go very gentle with it's application as it's so easy to overkill. If your interested in rich animalistic scents such as oud's, check out the perfumed court as they sell in decants.

I have the Dia Man, and I find it a very nice scent for me.
Lasts all day, and you'd definitely don't run into others wearing it in the elevator

Wether or not it is worth the price of around $300 for a 100ml bottle, that is a question everyone must answer for themselves, but it was for me..

Is that an EDP or an attar?

Heh, I don't even know what an attar is..
What I have is a 100ml Eau de Perfum

The Homage attar and, especially, the Tribute attar are truly sublime and sufficiently concentrated to make them "worth" their price IMO. I bought 1 ml decants, and the smallest dab is enough for an all-day application.

The Amouage EdPs are a different story. While the natural ingredients are of high quality, neither the strength nor the quality of the execution justify their premium price over many other niche houses. The Jubilation XXV is a possible exception and Epic, Memoir and Lyric are also pretty good and IMO the best of their offerings.
