    Real talk

    The galbanum opening isn't polite. It's sharp, green, almost confrontational, and that's exactly why it works. Bergamot and mandarin bring brightness, but they don't soften the galbanum so much as.Noir Gabardine
    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
