Epona (Flanker)
EDPUnisex
The Story
Epona is a bold, animalic floral that captures the wild spirit of the horse goddess. This flanker deepens the original with a darker, more leathery character. It opens with a burst of bitter orange and davana, then settles into a rich heart of jasmine and rose over a base of castoreum, leather, and oakmoss. It's a fragrance that demands attention and rewards patience.
