Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Unforgivable EDP
Divisive and plagued by reformulations, Unforgivable is a faded classic. Its original magic is now a whisper, with current batches offering a fleeting, if pleasant, citrus-woody opening before vanishing entirely. Get a clone instead.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Only The Brave EDP
If you're after a loud, sweet leather for a night out, this will probably tickle your fancy. Some reckon it's a bit 'been there, smelled that', but others love its mass appeal. Definitely one for the younger crowd or those who embrace the sweet side of life.

Season and Occasion Fit

Unforgivable

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

The fresh and clean accords make it suitable for casual wear and the gym, though its weak performance means frequent reapplication. It's too subtle and fleeting for formal events, and just passable for a casual date, given its intimate projection.

Only The Brave

Seasons

Best For:
Summer Autumn
Also Works:
Spring Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Its sweet and aromatic leanings, combined with moderate longevity and sillage, make it suitable for casual wear and nights out. The sweetness and potential for synthetic notes might be too much for a formal or office setting, as noted by some reviewers.
