Fabergé Brut is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1968, created by Karl Mann. Brut opens with Anise, Bergamot, Lemon, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Fabergé's Brut carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Brut by Fabergé is a divisive classic. Some find it a 'masterpiece' and an essential expression of masculinity, while others dismiss it as 'putrid crap' or an 'old man's scent'. It's a barbershop fougère that evokes strong nostalgia, whether for better or worse.

About

Brut opens with a vibrant, clean burst of lavender and lemon, underscored by the intriguing, almost medicinal spice of anise and herbaceous basil. This fresh start gives way to a soft floral heart of jasmine, geranium, and ylang-ylang, adding a touch of powdery smoothness. The base grounds the fragrance in a traditional masculine blend of earthy vetiver, woody sandalwood and patchouli, with the subtle sweetness of tonka bean and vanilla, all enriched by the timeless depth of oakmoss. Expect a classic, aromatic, green journey.
