What wearers say
“The opening just kind off ruins the fragrance for me. It just smells like cleaning soap and it gives me a headache. When it dries down that smell mostly fades away and it comes more bearable. If you're really into VERY citrus like fragrances this one might be for you. Longevity isn't great, on my skin it fades after around 3 hours. But for this price you really can't complain.”
“Great value for the price, and smells very similar to Invictus. Me personally i am not a fan of Invictus, which leads me to not like Brave man eitherBut if you like Invictus you will probably like this.”
“Opens with Tangerine, Grape and Sea Water (Salt + Seaweed).Nice fantasy note there, you can actually smell the salty water and the iodine of the seaweeds.The drydown is very feminine, I smell mostly Jasmine and the sweet reminiscent of the Tangerine.Plus the sea notes it smells pretty much like clothes softner, nice for clothes but not for a man.A sweet fresh fragrance that could easily be used by women at the gym or summer or very young men.For $10 it's a great fragrance but not for a man.”
