What do reviewers say about DEV #2: The Main Act and Epic Man?
Animalic. Smoky. Resinous. Unapologetic. This is the fragrance for people who want to be felt before they're seen, a bold, resinous warmth that turns cold nights into intimate spaces.DEV #2: The Main Act
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
