Diesel Only The Brave Eau de Toilette

Introduction Although I do try to spend wisely when it comes to fragrances I usually find I end up spending more than I intend to. I find a lot of scents are overpriced, but I don't wish to compromise on quality, and for that you must pay a higher price, something which makes sense really. Occasionally you will find a fragrance that you really like and it won't cost the earth, though this is probably due to it coming from one of the lesser known brands, or it is simply from a past season. Diesel is a very well-known and popular brand as far as I am concerned, and though the brand is quite ... more

Are You Brave Enough I have more than enough aftershaves and really am not in the market to be buying any more until I have got through the bottles I already have. However when I receive a bottle as a gift I am not going to say no to it. I received a bottle of Diesel only the brave as a gift from my sister when she visited New York. I like Diesel clothing and own a few of their jeans and tops but I had never until then actually smelt any of their fragrances and my first impressions were quite good.

**Introduction** I received a bottle of this as one of my Christmas Presents last year and although not much of a fan of previous Diesel fragrances I was interested in this one as I had heard some good things about it's scent.

"Only The Brave" is available in 35ml, 50ml and 75ml bottles. You can also purchase a 200ml bottle of the fragrance' shower gel for around £21 which is rather ... more

Why did I buy it: I liked the design of the bottle – a large man-shaped fist. Nice one! I also liked the name – Only the Brave. It sounded butch, masculine and my mother was standing by my side at the time encouraging me, saying those immortal words, “get your a**e into gear and buy it before we miss the bus”. I bought it and now I love it! It now stands proudly on my windowsill. I love the knuckle-duster ring on this bottle design – it looks so gangster-like and macho. It sums up everything I aspire to be. I love Iron Man from the Marvel comics and the design of this bottle takes its ... more

I had never previously fancied the Diesel brand much until this Christmas when I was given the gift of this particular fragrance from my mother and have to say it has entirely changed my opinion of the brand and I might consider switching my aftershave allegiance in the near future. The first thing that hits you about the only for the Brave range is the stylish bottle it comes in. As you can see in the above picture the product comes in a fist shaped bottle with the brand name across the knuckles. It looks very stylish, especially on a cabinet or such like and gives the brand a well made feel ... more
