    Real talk

    Smoky, spicy, and unapologetically bold. If you've been wearing fragrances that whisper, this one speaks. The warm amber and oud base give it a presence that holds its own in any room. Not subtle.Ethic
    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
