Which Should You Buy?

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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Only the Brave - 296 EDP
No. 296 follows Diesel Only The Brave's lemon-leather-cedar contrast reasonably well, though the citrus opening is brighter and more generic than Only The Brave's tarragon-tinged freshness, and the leather-tobacco heart feels thinner and less smoky than the designer version.
