What do reviewers say about The Green Carnation and Epic Man?
The carnation is the tell. It doesn't behave, goes green, almost raw, before softening. That contradiction either pulls you in or leaves you cold. Worth the trip either way.The Green Carnation
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
