Diesel Only the Brave Tattoo Eau de Toilette 50ml is a warm, smoky flanker to the iconic Only The Brave for men, launched in 2012 and signed by perfumers Alberto Morillas and Honorine Blanc. A bright, slightly fruity opening of red apple and mandarin leads into a peppery sage heart, before settling into a long-wearing, distinctive base of tobacco, benzoin, patchouli and warm woods.
About Only The Brave
Diesel was founded in 1978 by Renzo Rosso in Molvena, northern Italy. The brand's fragrances, produced under licence by L'Oréal, channel that rebellious denim-and-attitude sensibility into perfumery; Only The Brave launched in 2009 with the now-iconic fist-shaped flacon, and Tattoo was conceived as a more rugged, body-art-inspired chapter in the line, presented in a fist-and-knuckle bottle decorated with stylised tattoo motifs.

Who it's for
Only the Brave Tattoo suits men looking for a confident evening-leaning daily signature with a smoky, slightly sweet drydown. The composition is at its best in autumn and winter, ideal for date-night, dinner and casual evening contexts, and pairs naturally with smart-casual or leather-jacket dressing. Anyone drawn to fragrances such as Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille (lighter chapter) or Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme will recognise the territory.
How to wear it
Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Two to three sprays balance well; the tobacco-and-benzoin drydown develops over the first hour and rewards a moderate, considered hand.
