What do reviewers say about Epic and Duro?
A fragrance that demands 8-10 hours of commitment. Not because it's difficult, because it won't let go. The opening announces itself with Saffron's metallic warmth.Epic
This doesn't want to be liked. It wants to be respected. The animalic edge isn't a flaw, it's the whole point. It's the perfect entry point to their bold world.Duro
