This one's a proper spicy amber floral that splits the room; some swear by its classic elegance, others find it too 'old-school' or 'medicinal'. Definitely not for everyone, so sample first.

Heroic chases Amouage's Epic Woman - that spiced rose and tea over a base of incense, guaiac wood, oud and vanilla. The bold, spicy-oriental mood comes through, but it renders flatter with softer projection, sketching the niche original's exquisite spice-to-wood arc rather than fully matching it.
