Hello Beautiful !
Piquant sparks of Pink Pepper join the spicy warmth of Cinnamon and Cumin to lift a heart wherein shines a mystical and mythical Rose.
Between its incarnate petals curls up the lemony scent of Geranium. The spices grow quiet and the intoxicating Jasmine appears, amplifying the Rose with floral and fruity nuances while the Tea spreads its damp freshness like bubbles of sheer light.
On a pedestal of dry notes, of Iris, Guaiacwood and Patchouli, Frankincense unfolds its mineral light laced with dusty Oud. Warm Sandalwood, Babylonian Amber and Madagascar Vanilla wash them at last with a golden glow prolonged by the power of snow-white Musks.
Inspired by the legends of the Silk Road, Epic Woman is the spicy, ambery fragrance that blooms under the mystical twilight stretching between China and Arabia.
The Story
The legends of the ancient Silk Road that wove its way from the Middle East to China, Puccini’s Turandot princess, the grandeur of the Forbidden City and the Dragon Empress’ Summer Palace, a veil of frankincense, and a dry desert wind that swirls spices around the lushness of a velvet red rose — those are a few of the things at the heart of Epic for Women from Amouage.
Epic Woman is an eau de parfum that was released in 2009. The inspiration was Puccini’s Turandot opera which is set in China, but which was based on an ancient tale involving a Persian princess and a deadly riddle.

The last act of the opera, it is said, was an incomparable aria, which could not possibly be sung by a human voice…
