Epic Man Amouage 2009

Due to the purchase of another fragrance, I was able to enjoy a 2ml sample. First of all, I can't understand the hype here. The longevity is the only positive thing about the fragrance. At the beginning, oud accord, slightly dirty, with earthy notes. After about 15 minutes, the final phase begins for me, the fragrance smells like this until the end, namely soapy, dusty probably due to a pepper accord, concrete-like, earthy, also slightly menthol-like. The soapiness with the, I'll call it concrete, comes across as old school and doesn't seem particularly attractive or even embracing to me, so that I can simply feel comfortable with the fragrance. The scent repels me. I don't want to smell like this, I miss something sweet and if not, then not this cool, dry scent. It may be that it's well made, I don't find it particularly complex, just vintage vibes made more modern, whether that comes across as oriental, well. In my opinion, there are much nicer fragrances. It's a matter of taste, of course, but if you like this fragrance, have fun with it.
