WoodyWhat does Spirit of the Brave smell like?
It opens with galbanum and bergamot, giving a green, citrus freshness. In the heart, fir balsam and cypress add a woody, resinous note; in the base, tonka bean and labdanum sweeten and soften that dryness. Fruity and spicy touches run through the accords, along with a slightly synthetic sheen.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with winter the least chosen season. It works best for leisure and daily wear, and can also be worn in the office. Voters call it masculine and modern. Jovoy 21 Conduit St and David Beckham Botanical Resin have a close profile.
