    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for someone who's done searching for 'the one.' The frankincense and balsam open like a door left deliberately ajar, herbal, slightly medicinal, unmistakably present.Gurjun Balsam
    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
