What do reviewers say about Epic Man and DEV #2: The Main Act?
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
Animalic. Smoky. Resinous. Unapologetic. This is the fragrance for people who want to be felt before they're seen, a bold, resinous warmth that turns cold nights into intimate spaces.DEV #2: The Main Act
