Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Only The Brave Tattoo
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 - Courageous Ink For Men
Tracks Diesel's Only The Brave Tattoo closely - that signature crisp apple over peppery sage and a tobacco-amber base. Perfume Parlour's take pushes the sweet apple a little louder and lets the smoky tobacco-patchouli depth thin out, so it lands a touch flatter and shorter-lived than the punchy original.
