Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Only The Brave EDT

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 - Symbolize EDP

Perfume Parlour's Symbolize chases Maison Francis Kurkdjian L'Homme A La Rose - the fresh, airy masculine rose with grapefruit lift is recognisable, but this dupe loses the crystalline rose-water elegance and radiant clarity that justify the niche original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Only The Brave

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.

Symbolize

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

Also Works:

Autumn

The fresh, airy rose with grapefruit and sage feels brightest in spring and summer, carrying into autumn before the cold mutes it.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Fresh, clean and elegant - well suited to the office, daily wear and dates, with enough polish for a dressed-up occasion; a little soft for heavy sport.
