What wearers say

“I've bought this multiple times. I'm buying another bottle later today as a gift to myself. I get compliments all the time from both men and women. The projection is moderate, and it last all day for me sometimes tou need a touch up through out the day. Just 1 or 2 sprays.. it's very masculine and I can wear it day, night, and all 4 seasons. It's way worth the price!”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“My last review was pretty harsh mainly because of the reformulation and it was frustrating. But if you look past the fact that is only lasts 4 hours the smell is good, you get a nice citrus in the opening but in the dry down I get a dry vanilla which is not listed which is nice, if you can get a 50-75ml on offer from NOTINO for around 25-30$ just blind buy it.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“To my nose the opening on this and mid smell very close, like criminally close to AHSEE. Maybe my nose is messed up but it’s like 90% to 95% similar. Then the dry down it changes a bit more but still some similarities.”

Sillage

The clone achieves comparable note structure but falls short on projection and the refined blending that gives Only The Brave its signature character; longevity is typically 4-6 hours versus the designer's 6-8+ hours.
