Eden Perfumes No.242 Epic Man is a Parfum. No.242 Epic Man opens with Pink Pepper, Cardamom, Nutmeg, and Saffron, settles into a heart of Geranium and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oud, and Incense. Eden Perfumes's No.242 Epic Man carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

No.242 opens with a bold spice rush of pink pepper and saffron, backed by cardamom and nutmeg - a clear reference to the exotic, powerhouse opening that made Amouage's Epic Man a cult favourite. Myrrh and geranium carry the heart, adding a resinous, slightly green depth that keeps the spice from feeling one-note. The base leans on oud, incense and sandalwood, aiming for the rich, earthy, quietly luxurious finish the original is best known for. The gap between the two shows up quickly on skin - Amouage's version is a genuine heavyweight that projects strongly for hours and lingers well into the next day, while this dupe is comparatively restrained, with the spice and oud settling into a soft, warm base note far sooner. It's still an accessible way to sample the spiced-oud-oriental style without the designer price tag, and suits cooler evenings, formal occasions or anywhere a confident, exotic scent feels called for, even if it won't fill a room the way the original does.
