Which Should You Buy?
No.242 draws on Amouage's Epic Man spice-and-oud blueprint - pink pepper, saffron and cardamom over an oud-incense base - but arrives noticeably tamer, missing the original's intense, long-haul projection.
A rich and bold fragrance that strikes a perfect balance between warmth and intrigue, ideal for making a statement in cooler weather.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The spiced oud-incense base suits cooler Fall and Winter wear, when a rich, warming scent feels most fitting.
Occasions
The bold, exotic spice-and-oud character suits evening and formal occasions rather than casual or office wear.
Seasons
The warm spicy and resinous notes make Black Dragon suitable for cooler weather in fall and winter, while the smoky and herbal accords work well in spring. Its intensity may be overpowering for summer heat.
Occasions
This scent's moderate projection and warm accords are versatile but better suited for evening or colder weather settings such as casual outings and date nights. It might be too intense for sports activities.
