    Real talk

    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
    Smoky, spicy, and unapologetically bold. If you've been wearing fragrances that whisper, this one speaks. The warm amber and oud base give it a presence that holds its own in any room. Not subtle.Ethic
