From your scent profile
Amouage Epic 56 Woman is a floral heart wrapped in spice, smoke and resin, pulled towards a dark, woody finish.
Skunky's take: Comes alive when it gets cold; fall and winter are its seasons.

It opens with cumin, pink pepper and cinnamon for a spicy start. In the heart, jasmine tea, geranium and rose bring a green, floral softness. The base leans on vanilla, amber, sandalwood, patchouli, frankincense and oud, settling into a warm, resinous, smoky oriental.
Longevity is rated very strong and sillage strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions. Feminine edges ahead in the votes, but masculine is close behind, so it sits between the two. Amouage Epic Woman (Eau de Parfum) and Dr. Vranjes Leather Oud have a close profile.
