Diesel Only The Brave Wild is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014, created by Antoine Maisondieu and Shyamala Maisondieu. Only The Brave Wild opens with Grapefruit, Lemongrass, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, Nutmeg, and Coumarin, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Coconut. Diesel's Only The Brave Wild carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

Diesel Wild is a properly divisive scent, adored by some for its tropical coconut and spice, reviled by others as a 'pickle-juice' disaster. Definitely one to try before you buy, but if it works for you, expect compliments.

About

This opens with a fresh, peppery kick from grapefruit and lemongrass, immediately grabbing attention. The heart then settles into an aromatic blend of lavender and nutmeg, underpinned by a creamy, slightly sweet coconut. The dry down is a woody affair, with vetiver and cedar, rounded out by subtle oakmoss. It manages to balance a fresh start with a richer, more unique finish.
