What does Brave smell like?

Brave lasts moderately long and projects moderately. Most voters pick spring and summer; daily wear, leisure and sport lead, with office use not far behind. It reads masculine and modern.

It opens with mandarin orange, grapefruit and marine notes, giving an aquatic, fruity freshness. In the heart, laurel and jasmine soften it. The base of oakmoss, ambergris, gaiac wood and patchouli settles into a woody, slightly spicy footing. Rabanne Invictus (Eau de Toilette) and Sober Mercury No̱ 80 have a close profile.
