    Real talk

    The animalic note here is a conversation starter, not a warning. Civet and Siberian deer musk give this a warmth that sits close to skin, the kind of scent someone leans in to catch.Kyoto Klassique
    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
