What do reviewers say about Only The Brave Tattoo and Black XS?
Diesel went for the apple-tobacco pairing that most brands play safe around. The result is sweet enough to pull people in, but the tobacco keeps it from being a flattering gesture.Only The Brave Tattoo
This one divides. Some find the praline sweetness too much; others spray it every morning like their alarm. That citrus opening doesn't play it safe, it's the bridge to something richer.Black XS
