What do reviewers say about Epic Man and Refreshing?
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
Citrus that gets under your skin. Bergamot and mandarin arrive crisp, then the musk settles in and stays close. Some find that grounding. Others wish it would clear off.Refreshing
Good to know
