Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Only The Brave Eau de Toilette

Only The Brave is a crowd-pleasing blend of citrus and leather, radiating youthful confidence with its punchy opening and smooth, ambery base. A modern masculine that's easy to wear yet memorable.

Statement

Our Verdict - Brooklyn Eau de Parfum

This citrus and amber fragrance gets a very mixed bag of reviews. Some love its unique, uplifting lemon candy and powdery warmth, while others find it annoyingly synthetic or boring. Definitely one to sample before you buy, it's not a crowd-pleaser for everyone.

Season and Occasion Fit

Only The Brave Eau de Toilette

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Autumn

Also Works:

Winter

The warm amber-leather base and prominent citrus top make this scent versatile, but it shines in spring and fall when both freshness and warmth are appreciated. The richness and powdery undertone also lend it some winter suitability, while the heavier resins can feel a bit much in peak summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Office

Its moderate projection and sweet-woody base make it ideal for dates or casual outings, while the boldness and powdery leather are a bit too assertive for sport or strict formal settings. Office use is possible with a light hand.

Brooklyn Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its moderate projection and fresh, clean profile make it suitable for office wear and casual outings, though some find it light, needing extra sprays. The citrus and soft amber combination isn't quite right for formal events or a standout date night, but the underlying freshness could work for daytime sport.
