What do reviewers say about Key of Life and Epic Man?
This fragrance doesn't ask permission. The artemisia cuts sharp, herbal, assertive, unexpected, before the florals take over completely. Rose and jasmine saturate everything.Key of Life
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
