Amouage | Epic 56 Woman | Extrait de Parfum
With an exceptional 56% perfume oil concentration, Epic 56 Woman revisits the legends of the Silk Road, uncovering a deeper story of the critically-acclaimed Epic Eau de Parfum. After close to five months of ageing, the quality of its signature notes - Rose, Spices, Frankincense and Woods - is accentuated by a deeper and more complex ambery construction, leaving a lasting impression on the senses.
What makes Epic 56 Woman an Exceptional Extrait?
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer-lasting scent), but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.

A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers, or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
