What do reviewers say about Epic Man and Sandstorm?
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
This fragrance does something most won't attempt, it puts white florals at the heart of a smoky, leather-adjacent base and makes it feel inevitable rather than strange.Sandstorm
