    Real talk

    Some fragrances want you to like them. This one doesn't care about want. The animalic presence, the resinous weight, the oud that lingers on your skin for hours.Ishraaq
    Epic Man is not subtle. This is a fragrance that announces itself, and the frankincense upfront is unmissable. If you want something for the boardroom, look elsewhere.Epic Man
