Diesel Only The Brave Street is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2018, created by Nelly Hachem-Ruiz.

This one's a proper sweet shop meets the herb garden, and it's certainly got people talking. Don't let the marketing fool you; it's a versatile beast with a surprising amount of sophistication tucked into that licorice-vanilla punch. It's divisive, but fans absolutely adore its uniqueness.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Only The Brave Street kicks off with a fresh, slightly green burst of basil and apple, sharpened by bergamot. It quickly dives into a spicy-sweet heart where licorice and cardamom play a leading role, creating an almost 'spiced cookie' effect. The dry down is a cosy, masculine blend of vanilla and amberwood, underpinned by earthy vetiver and patchouli, offering warmth without veering too heavy.
