What do reviewers say about Epic Man and Magnetic Blend 8?
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
Some fragrances want to be liked. This one wants to be remembered. The smoke is dense, the resin is warm, and what you are left with feels less like a perfume and more like a signature.Magnetic Blend 8
