“I have a bottle of Epic from the early 2010's and received a sample recently. I'm afraid to confirm it's been reformulated, as indicated by some other reviews. The sillage is weaker and longevity is an hour at best, whereas Epic used to be epic by nature and lasted for at least 24 hours (even after showering). It also seems to missing the lush, herbaceous, balsamic opening of the original formulation. I'm so disappointed and like others, will be seeking out vintage formulations or consider other brands, which isn't good for Amouage's business.”
“An incredible perfume - my partner says it’s an ecclesiastical scent.. reminds him of all the beautiful aromas of history coming through in one indelible hit. He LOVES it.For me it’s more a winter fragrance to spice up the cold weather. When I wear it in summer two sprays last for 48 hours or so. Longevity is huge!”
“Epic Woman is an amazingly long lasting perfume--over 12 hours and still going strong! Projection is pretty wide. This is mainly a frankincense/rose/patchouli bomb on my skin. It smells like wealth and opulence, without the ostentatiousness that so often can accompany those traits. I like it and have enjoyed it wafting around me all day, but ever since about the 6-8 hour mark, I'm starting to get a little tired of it. A great value, though, if this type of perfume is your thing; a bottle will last a lifetime.”

Sillage
The clone emphasizes the oud component more prominently in the opening, creating a darker first impression, while Amouage Epic unfolds more gradually with a complex spice and rose introduction. Killer Oud's drydown is creamier and sweeter, lacking some of the original's nuanced incense and amber complexity.

Sillage
Icon lacks the sophisticated balance and depth of Epic's oud accord, presenting a more linear and less nuanced development. The clone also shows reduced longevity (6-7 hours vs 8-10 hours) and slightly softer projection.

Sillage
The clone generally delivers comparable performance in longevity and sillage but falls short on the refined blending and subtle development of the original. Dua's interpretation emphasizes the floral and citrus elements while the oud and base notes read as more straightforward and less intricate than Amouage's composition.
