Note: Only for the Brave
By Ying Lam, March 30th, 2010
Diesel’s Only the Brave fragrance is known for its masculine, sexy and bold scent, so it would only make sense to create an exclusive version with the anticipation of Iron Man 2. But will the limited-edition scent live up to the boundless charisma that is Robert Downey Jr.?
Super hero fans will just have to find out for themselves. Only the Brave Iron Man comes in a kitschy red and gold bottle clenched into an enormous fist. It can’t get any more comic book than that. The scent itself has high notes of lemon blossom, mandarin and coriander leaves, while the body of the fragrance features hints of black rose and lavender. Touches of amber and wood also abound. Put together, the elements attempt to bottle the Iron Man spirit.
Retailing at $67.50, the scent can be purchased at Diesel stores and major department stores. If it’s good enough for RDJ, we say it’s good enough for anyone.
