Fortitude

8.0

Robert Graham · 2016

Sweet · Gourmand · Spicy

Robert Graham Fortitude is a sweet, smoky men's fragrance built around tobacco absolute, patchouli and tonka bean. The scent leans sweet and gourmand, with tonka bean adding a creamy, powdery softness. Tobacco absolute and patchouli ground that sweetness in a spicy, woody, earthy base, leaving a smoky trail. The oriental side dominates. Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it suits night-outs and evenings best, with some room for business and daily wear. Most voters read it as masculine. Fortitude has been discontinued. Parfumerie Particulière Tonka Fever and Molinard Vanille Patchouli (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.

Valour

8.0

Robert Graham · 2016

Fresh · Fruity · Sweet

Robert Graham Valour is a men's fragrance built on Brazilian coffee, amberwood and clary sage; it has been discontinued. The notes read as a single whole rather than a top, heart and base sequence. Coffee and clary sage lean on the warmth of amberwood. A sweet, fruity side sits next to a fresh feel, while spicy, woody and resinous accords add an oriental depth, with a faint synthetic edge in the background. Those who rated it find its longevity and sillage good, though the small number of votes makes that a tentative verdict. It is positioned as a masculine scent. David Beckham Bold Instinct and Dolce & Gabbana The One for Men Gold have a close profile.
