Sound Of The Brave

Smells like the new Scandal Pour homme by Jean Paul Gaultier. It's sweet and warm very nice! I think it will be very popular. I definitely recommend sampling! It's a mass appealing sweet designer, not much to dislike here really

Diesel Sound of the Brave is an obvious flanker of Only the Brave. Not just in bottle design, but with the smell. Both fragrances have lemon in the open and amber in the base. Granted Sound of the Brave made it amberwood which does smell similar. I got this when it was on sale on Macy's around the Christmas shopping time. Sound of the Brave has some lemon and juniper on the open. Now when i say lemon, know it is more a citrus but not super distinctly lemon. In the mid, I get some cumarin like smelling sweet grass. The base is full of amberwood. I want to say there maybe more going on with Sound of the Brave, but it is synthetic similar to what it is a flanker of it. It seems rather stripped down compared to Only the Brave. Sound of the Brave is kind of a modernized Only the Brave. Only the Brave came out in a time when fragrances were going into a sweet direction, but they were not as common. Not that Only the Brave isn't modern, it was released when 1 Million was still new and influenced some fragrances like Invictus. I feel Sound of the Brave is a bit more modern though. It has some Only the Brave to it along with Ultra Male or more closely, Zara Gourmand Leather. Sound of the Brave I feel is more unique than most. This sounds a bit counter-intuitive since it smells similar to a fragrance or two. But remember, Ultra Male isn't really as common even if it is a fragcom favorite. Sound of the Brave isn't anywhere near as strong as Ultra Male and is about Gourmand Leather strength at its best. Honestly I think Sound of the Brave is a better Ultra Male. That is because it is reigned in. Sound of the Brave will work at work because it isn't as strong as Ultra Male. It can also work for dates. Now yes, the bottle is tacky like most Diesel but nobody will see it except your date if they stay over. Sound of the Brave IMHO is a really nice scent but the only knock is it isn't as strong of a performer as Only the Brave. Does it smell better, yes. That said Only the Brave was influential even if itself was lampooned for the bottle design. Sound of the Brave is even less groundbreaking as it is a safe sweet smelling modern synthetic. For this reason I rate Sound of the Brave a 7.2 out 10. It does quite a few things well but it will be in the shadow of Only the Brave and ultimately UltraMale.

This is quite nice. It's fresh and citrusy on opening and as it dries down it becomes a sweet, warm amber and vanillic scent. It was sweeter than I anticipated. Although it's masculine, it's not on the end of the spectrum. Good for warmer weather but it could go anytime of year. I think it would be a good causal night out fragrance.

Whoever think this is not long lasting must live in hot countries, easy 8-10hours on me and projects loudly. Great fragrance, pretty similar to Only The Brave with a bit more sweetness and woods. For the price you reaply cant complain.

This is a nice scent that reminds me more of the designer scents from the mid to late 2000s. It has a nostalgic vibe from that time period. I'm glad I picked up this cheapie for casual wear.
