    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
    Simple doesn't mean forgettable. Classic offers clean lines and quiet warmth, the kind of scent that shows up, does its job, and belongs. It's present without being pushy.Classic
