Epiphany, from Reinvented was released in 2023. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Lime, and Saffron, middle notes of Cananga, Cardamom, Orris Root, Pepper, and Rose, and base notes of Benzoin, Birch, Cedarwood, Incense, Licorice, Musk, and Patchouli.
Epiphany is a big no-no for me, matter of fact it gave me the instant epiphany that I don’t like this fragrance. There’s no denying this is a very unique scent profile, but there doesn’t seem to be any harmony or balance to make this wearable in any way. It’s got this extremely prominent note of a bitter and zesty lime, coupled with enough black pepper to make you sneeze about 30 times in a row. From here you start to notice a very sour and sticky liquorice contrasted by the smoky, earthy woodiness of incense, birch, cedar and patchouli. It starts to improve a bit as it dries down but to be completely honest I don’t find any enjoyment from this scent. As I said earlier it could do with being a bit softened round the edges.
