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 green-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.

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.

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.
