What does Epic Man smell like?

Saffron, cardamom, cumin and pink pepper open it hard and spicy, while frankincense and myrrh add a resinous weight. The base leans on patchouli, oud, leather and cedarwood, with castoreum and musk finishing it in an animalic, earthy warmth.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and evening and night out are the occasions named most often. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Zimaya Icon and Amouage Opus VII - Reckless Leather have a close profile.
