Courageous Living

Name: Courageous Living Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Courageous Living is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Courageous Living opens with Grapefruit, Pepper, and Citronella, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Coconut. Perfume Parlour's Courageous Living carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A budget take on Diesel Only The Brave Wild. The citrusy citronella-grapefruit opening drying into aromatic lavender and a rare creamy coconut captures the original's beachy fresh fougère; this dupe tames the loud synthetic coconut and gives up a little of the original's marathon longevity.

About

Courageous Living chases Diesel's Only The Brave Wild, a fresh, beachy fougère in the Virgin Island Water vein. It opens clear and vegetal - peppery black pepper, sharp citronella and bright grapefruit - crisp and citrusy. The heart turns aromatic and a touch sweet with lavender, green geranium and a flick of nutmeg, settling into a coumarinic fougère shape. The drydown is its unusual signature - a smooth, creamy coconut accord (rare in a masculine) wrapped around earthy vetiver and dry cedar. Where the original is famous for both its big creamy coconut and near-relentless longevity, this dupe keeps the citrus-lavender-coconut story but reads a touch flatter, tames the sometimes-shrill synthetic coconut and projects more modestly, fading sooner. It remains a fresh, easygoing summer fougère - clean, beachy and confident - that shines in warm weather, an affordable budget stand-in for the Diesel.
