Thankyou for your 5 star service! The delivery was quick and thankyou for the samples, they are lovely and very fun to experiment with.
Epic is a very very complex scent. To achieve its complex layers it moves through some rather challenging musky low animalistic notes, before the rest emerges with its sensuous spicy top notes.
I've found it needs 1/2 hour to mature to something splendid.
Layering it through the day works well, even though it is strong, because the settling musk with your own body chemistry/scent is what gives this perfume its powerful kick. It is a dark sensual. The epitome of a spicy oriental perfume.
I am still not used to it yet, so I have found layering it with Amouage Gold (which is a classic. You could also use chanel no.5?) Works too.
It is in the end a beautiful perfume, its like an echo from ancient and exotic places.
