Amouage Epic 56 (2021) Vs. Epic Woman EDP (2009) COMPARISON Episode  

Your review is fantastic Ramsey. Enjoying your posts , big thanks .

and as almost always ram, I completely agree with you, your video does not have too many or too few descriptions. thank you ! absolutely agree!! ☝️

I don’t understand how some collectors refuse to use their collection… you are never promised tomorrow… the existence of perfume is to be worn and enjoyed♥️

Omg perfect review Ram 🔥 have all Epic’s ( men , women and 56 ) I got 56 for $220 in older packaging and I absolutely love it 💚 I have hard time to wear other ones 🙈

Epic review as usual 🐏!!! You’d make a fantastic creative director of a perfume brand. Perhaps in your future 🔮

Nice work! This is the best comparison video for these 2. I ordered the EDP a few days ago after wanting it for years. This morning I came across a 56 for only $10 more than I paid for the EDP so I ordered that too. I've never smelled 56 before. Now which one to keep 🤔

Interested on your thoughts on Amouage overture women. Great video as always!

Interesting comparison. I wonder how the 56 stands up next to the original Extrait that I've experienced 🤔. Talk about a niche inside of a niche question that is lol. Thanks for the work on this Ramsey ✌🏻

Thank you Ramsey, i just picked up a LLC version 100ml bottle of Epic woman :)

I love epic woman. Still up there as one of my favourite from the house. It's supposed to emulate the sense of silk, and it does. The box is cool as it has written on the side, in traditional Chinese, 史詩 (Shǐshī) which means Epic. Each character 史 = History and 詩 = poetry, put together literally means historical poem, i.e. epic. I think the story and execution of this perfume and it's reference to the silk road is amazing. Thanks 🐏🌹

Your brain is amazing Ramsey. I admire your aproach, a very unique way in educating us fragrance lovers. I can say you stand out way up on the top with all fragrance reviewers out there on youtube. Your work continue to inspire us and I truly appreciate your efforts.

Hey Rams. I love me some Amouage. My favorite house. 👍👍. I actually have my bottle of Journey coming tomorrow. Your thoughts on it ?

I went to Neiman Marcus today and wore Epic 56 today to give it another shot. It’s very nice and it’s fairly affordable on the secondary now. I’m either picking this up or Overture Man, one I also like after a few tests. Hmm. 🤔

Oh Only got Epic Man regular Joe so to speak ,so this comparison I feel I cannot really chime in on ,however on the basis of Oil content,projection and longevity,which I have some little experience,mostly though with my attar collection,which I find Attar users and lovers are into the lower projection and longevity with enjoyment coming from their personal bubble and probably don’t like an initial slap in the face blast that atomizer fragrances can deliver off the bat ,but rather let the attar in its own time work its way to the olfactory senses in it own sweet time (or not sweet lol)pardon my semi pun haha, anyways I found this video on point and interesting because it holds true for the concept of all high oil bases V edt.edp.etc cheers Rams fascinating stuff 🙏👍✌️

Torn between Lyric Man and Epic Man Im a fan of warm spicy scents but I want something fairly versatile, I do also want to try the acclaimed masculine rose though. Any thoughts/advice?

Thanks for review, I love Epic. Try Ubar Amouage it’s a masterpiece.

Well said brother.this is exactly what I think of the new concentrations.gorgeous video

Having bought epic 56 and interlude 53on its realeased they are definitely formulated well above their counterparts. Now waiting for gifts of kings from them but I know I should be hunting vintages more 🕵..epic woman worth the hunt mate? Edp or extrait?

I bought Epic W off your recommendation. Amazing fragrance, sent me down a rabbit hole as I didn't really try the womens range before. I now have about 5 arriving in the post next week, and already have Jubi W in hand (Roja's RHDP 15 is similar, but adds a nice buttery Iris note). Anyhow, I got a vial of Epic 56 and compared. Totally agree that if you own one you don't need the other and that the price jump is not worth it even though it is a boosted version. In some ways I prefer the EDP, it has a dustier/drier tone which fits better with the theme.

I really want to try epic and journey they're next on my list. I 've really been enjoying amouage I love interlude man and own black iris but after getting used to the og IM I really like it more than black iris. I went through 2 decants of jubilation man it smells great but the performance is horrible on me but kept hearing about how well it performs maybe it was reformulated

I see what you‘re saying. The problem is if amouage watered the old line down then I better go with the extraits, but only if I find a good deal. I for instance got a tester for 180 bucks. It’s absolutely worth it.

Seems like Amouage has become a brand new house instead of staying with their roots. They put 4 unreleased fragrance decants in their new discovery scent package and it sounds like basic stuff

Another great review. Epic 56 is the best of the high-concentration Amouages. Cécile Zarokian created a faithful and more luxurious version of vintage Epic Woman EDP, it's truly spellbinding. On another note, I sampled current Amouage EDPs this month and the soul of these fragrances is no longer.

I replaced my epic and noticed that the scent is much weaker more shallow. So I then trialled the exceptional extract and was closer to my bottle with Sultan of Oman so agree it feels like a money grab Absolute shame because a beautiful fragrance. Love the review

Very fair review. I purchased epic 56 when it was released - sold on a month later. Yes it’s great - but I’d rather spend the money on backups of the edp or other scents that push boundaries and not spending $$ on a perfume like epic 56 that is living off Amouage’s past

ramsey now i need to choose between Epic 56/ memoir woman / journey man. Which one going into the direction of black iris,overture man , epic man. I love dark, mysterious, frankinsence and classy . pleaae suggest me the best from that 3 option above

The tea note in epic woman blew my mind with how photorealistic it is. It helps to balance out the heavier spices, brilliant work from Cecile. Still looking for a full bottle at a great price 😢

👏 bravo well said. I mean I think it’s cool they did a fragrance at 56% that’s crazy. But they could have used that time and money to put out something new and inspired. Oh wait the inspiration left with Chong.

Would you say this redundant if you already own Epic man? Thanks Ram

Wait until you try the new "attars" 🤣 besides the incense one which to be fair is very good, the rest, specially the vanilla one... is hilarious. They are now clearly targeting a more mass market with money to burn, if it works for them good, but is not for me, not impressed with new ones so far (considering the price tag of course)

Could u do a Interlude 53 vs the regular Interlude?

The Amouage sales associate definitely had a challenge coming up with a reason for me to “upgrade “ my Reflection Man….

I'd love to get a refence to muddisar. Where can i fing him?

For me; I only have one Amouage- Original Version and that's all that has wowed me , maybe I need to get my nose on more of their older versions. From the samples I've tried they are just an easy like for anyone. Not for the discerning, my excitement is elsewhere. Great comparison, great content that's not available elsewhere... could you do a Not a top ten for fragrance lovers with allergies, cough cough?!😉

Out of curiousity...was your daughter having a dream about the future of Amouage? 😆 ♫ Affffter these messages... ♫ ♪ ♫ We'll be riiiiiiight back. ♫ 👱‍♀This was a great comparison Ramsey. Completly agree about the price. And although I know where you're coming from with the inverse correlation of concentration/longevity to projection, it's more about the innate properties of the materials themselves and how they're blended. For instance, if you increase the concentration of certain woody ambers even just a bit, you're likely to get super-duper-exploding-pooper projection and longevity....of the woody amber molecules. Not necessarily of the other materials. Certain oils (essentially alcohol-free) are beastmode too. And I don't just mean my farts. 😬 As far as I know, it's difficult (or impossible) to change the innate volatility/diffusivity of any olfactory compound without changing its molecular structure; but you can go heavy on the fixatives or blend in certain ways...and there are concentration limits to abide by, blah blah blah. That's why many fragrances that boast higher longevity are often mid-to-base heavy, sometimes resulting in less initial projection (again, depending on the compounds) and not necessarily due to the alcohol content, which realistically evaporates in a matter of seconds. You generally don't increase the projection of heavy molecules by decreasing their concentration - it's actually closer to the opposite. But you can blend a musk like elthylene brassylate with hedione and iso-e to give your stuff more diffusion. Bit of trial and error, but it's all about the balance and blending of materials. Highly confusing topic on the internet and I'm not sure why. Is the debate about whether or not denatured ethanol gets trapped between the oil molecules and lifts them like balloons lifting the house in "Up"? Because if that was true...think about how much alcohol we'd be smelling with each sniff. Feedback welcome!

So is Epic Man better then both these then?

Speaking of royal tobacco, journey man is the better tobacco scent than royal tobacco 🤷🏻‍♂️

🙏🏼

This video was Epic ( just had to)

I’m not sure if the new epic woman is good.. I’m trying to buy a bottle really not sure:(

I'M BLESSED 2 OWN SUM OF THEIR OLDER RENDITIONZ OR MASTERPIECES EYE SHOULD SAY...EYE STILL HAVE A WARRANT OUT 4 OVERTURE MAN'S ARREST...ONCE EYE GETT IT I'LL HANG UP MY HAT... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ CONTENT MY G

I have epic man bought this year. I'm disappointed it. No longevity and the scent is fleeting on my skin.

Amouage the newly christened flanker house. I’m still down.

🍷🍷🍷🍷❤

Fish Man also said in an interview that Amouage won’t be “artsy fartsy” anymore. How utterly disrespectful to the legacy of Christopher Chong and unbelievably unprofessional. I hate him. He’s definitely arrogant and likely a narcissist with delusions of grandeur.
