What does Spirit of the Brave Intense smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend fall and winter, with spring not far behind, and it is chosen mostly for evenings, leisure time and nights out. It reads as masculine and modern.
It opens with apple and bergamot, a fresh and fruity start. In the heart, sage and cypress pull that freshness in a greener, drier direction. The base of patchouli, vanilla and amber brings out the sweetness and a spicy, oriental warmth, while the gourmand and synthetic accords sharpen the sweet side. Lattafa Ramz Lattafa (Silver) and Joop! Joop! Thrill Man have a close profile.
