    Real talk

    Not a safe blind buy. The chamomile is the pivot point, herbal, almost medicinal in the opening, before the warmth takes over. If that sounds interesting, this is worth the risk.Shaima
    Epic Woman is not a polite fragrance. The cumin in the opening makes it polarizing by design. Once you survive the first twenty minutes, what remains is a regal, incense-laden Oriental that performs.Epic Woman
