Amouage Epic Man by Amouage

The initial scent comes off as to strong and destroyed my senses. I hated the pink pepper and and saffron. I am note a fan of Amouage scents, the ingredients are world class, if you like incense dominated scents. NOT FOR ME THOUGH. If you like incense scents this might be worth trying. 2/10 rated

Epic Man starts with a burst of nice woody scent and soon it becomes a sensual and comfortable oriental woody, I can smell the nugmet quite well, and it is like a reminiscent of Shalimar by Guerlain, but minus the sweet vanilla part. Somehow I think Epic Man can pair up with Shalimar well at this point.
The overall woody feeling is cool and natural with a touch of myrrh.
The dry down is really close to the skin, and comfortable. The patchouli, incense and leather combo actually smells subtal and kinda like real sandalwood furniture. I normally hate leather in both man and woman's perfume, but in Epic Man, I can't detect any unpleasant leather.

Epic Man is so different from the commercial mass produced man's fragrance you can find from the department stores.
It reminds me of acient Chinese pavilions, corridors along the rivers in the Yangtze River Delta area. I guess it is the epic that Epic Man has brought to me so far, maybe it gives different people different but found memories.

Even though it is a 'men's fragrance', I think it can also be worn by a woman. (On me, it is sweeter and less masculine.)
Worth trying!
