Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Only The Brave Tattoo EDT
A turbo-charged fruity-tobacco bomb with swagger to spare, Only The Brave Tattoo is a room-filling, youthful statement-maker tailor-made for parties, dates, and nights out. Not for the shy or office-bound.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Fakhar Black EDP
This YSL Y EDP dupe is a bit of a mixed bag. Some think it's a stellar, budget-friendly stand-in, especially after some 'maceration'. Others find it falls flat, lacking the original's depth and often suffering from poor longevity. Definitely a 'try before you buy' due to its divisive synthetic qualities.

Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

This is a bold, attention-grabbing scent best for nights out, dates, clubbing, or casual occasions where you want to stand out. Its strong projection and sweetness can overwhelm in formal or office settings.

Fakhar Black

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and mass-appealing profile makes it a safe bet for casual wear and the office, with many reviewers specifically calling it 'office and gym safe.' However, inconsistent performance reports, with some finding it light after initial projection, mean it might struggle for impact in formal or evening date settings.
