WoodyWhat does Only The Brave Wild smell like?
It opens with lemon grass, grapefruit and black pepper, where the citrus freshness meets a spicy edge. In the heart, nutmeg, coumarin, geranium and lavender add a green, slightly sweet softness. The base of musk, coconut water, vetiver and cedarwood settles into a woody, lightly sweet finish. Fresh, citrus and green accords lead, while fruity and synthetic tones stay in the background.
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. Most pick spring, summer and fall, and few choose winter. Leisure and daily wear lead the occasions, and it reads masculine and modern. Dunhill Icon Racing and s.Oliver Outstanding Men (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
