About This Perfume

Amouage Epic 56 Woman smells like spiced rose with smoky incense and creamy wood. Cumin, pink pepper and cinnamon make a warm, spicy entrance. Geranium, jasmine tea and rose form the heart, and the base is deep and layered: frankincense, sandalwood, amber, gaiac wood, musk, orris root, vanilla, oud and patchouli. It leans feminine and wears spicy and confident.

It is a night scent for spring, fall and winter, and the community reaches for it on nights out. Performance, honestly: it holds on for a long wear and projects enough to fill a room. Be patient with a fresh bottle, since wearers report it improves with maceration.

Is it right for you?

  • Best for: lovers of spiced, incense-rich roses who want serious staying power.
  • Sample first if: cumin is a note you are unsure about, or the price gives you pause.
  • Skip if: you want something light, fresh or office-quiet.

What you see here reflects what 37 different wearers have said across the communities Scendira tracks.

Around $550.

The Brand

Amouage

Amouage has 151 perfumes indexed on Scendira, spanning launches from 1983 to 2026, the longest history of any brand in our catalogue. Across that same mapped set, woody is the top accord (47%), followed by amber (37%), warm-spiced (25%), fresh-spicy (19%), and aromatic (19%), giving the house a rich, resinous, woody-amber signature typical of niche luxury perfumery. Sandalwood, rose, and patchouli lead on notes, with frankincense and labdanum close behind. Prices run $80 to $590, with a $395 median, the highest of any brand on Scendira and well above mass-market Arabic houses. The range leans unisex (52%), with feminine (27%) and masculine (21%) behind. By community mentions, Guidance leads with 284 mentions, ahead of Reflection Man (111) and Outlands (110).

Is Amouage Right for You?

Best for: shoppers who want niche, prestige-tier Arabic perfumery, with a resinous woody-amber-incense signature and a $395 median price. Sample first if: you're new to niche pricing; Amouage sits well above mass-market Arabic houses, so a decant or sample is the lower-risk way in. Skip if: you're working with a budget under $80; Amouage's entire catalogue starts above that floor.

Most-Discussed Amouage Perfumes on Scendira
