Papillon Artisan Perfumes Epona is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Epona opens with Soap, settles into a heart of Leather, Violet, and Hay, and dries down to a base of Opoponax. Papillon Artisan Perfumes's Epona carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. For some, it's a nostalgic journey back to the stables, all warm horsehide and saddle soap. For others? Well, they're calling it urine and old people. Definitely not a blind buy.

While some find it wearable for professional settings, its unique animalic and leathery profile makes it a bit much for a typical office. It leans more towards intimate dates or relaxed, everyday wear for those who embrace its distinctive character. The divisiveness in reviews makes it risky for broad appeal in formal or office environments.

About

Epona opens with a smooth, leathery embrace, quickly softened by a clean, almost carbolic soapiness. As it settles, warm, sun-dried hay emerges, intertwined with delicate, powdery violets. A subtle, naturalistic animalic quality, reminiscent of horse skin, weaves through the composition, grounded by balsamic opoponax and earthy undertones.
