Diesel Only The Brave Extreme is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2016, created by Aliénor Massenet. Only The Brave Extreme opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Apple, settles into a heart of Leather, Rose, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Tonka Bean, Labdanum, and Styrax. Diesel's Only The Brave Extreme carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a mixed bag, to put it mildly. Some folks rave about its 'beastly' performance and sweet, masculine allure, calling it a 'compliment monster'. Others find it a 'synthetic mess', cloying and even 'cheap smelling'. If you're after a loud, youthful leather-fruit scent that likes to make an entrance, give it a sniff. Just be prepared for a bit of a love-hate reaction.

About

Only The Brave Extreme kicks off with a sharp, sweet burst of apple and citrus, quickly transitioning to a dominant blend of warm, leathery amber. A phantom rose note flits in and out, adding a touch of subtle floralcy before settling into a syrupy, tonka-rich dry-down with hints of styrax and labdanum for a resinous finish. It's a sweet, gourmand take on the original, with the leather accord dialled up.
