This summer the legendary superhero, Captain America joins forces with fashion house Diesel to celebrate the dual release of the movie, Captain America: The First Avenger, and the launch of ‘Only The Brave’- the new powerful fragrance from Diesel.

The comic strip limited edition packaging introducing this masculine new Diesel fragrance is the work of world-famous illustrator Bryan Hitch, original creator of Captain America.   The vibrant and funky illustration unveils our superhero’s first encounter with the ‘Only The Brave’ fragrance as he stands in full action pose wielding the iconic Captain America shield – strong, fun, arty and above all HEROIC!.

The stylish and highly unique fragrance bottle is extremely eye-catching – a metallic blue (Diesel call this stratosphere blue) clenched fist adorned with the Captain America shield – this signature colour is said to represent courage, freedom and strength!   And as one might expect from a superhero, the packaging speaks of masculinity, power, and sexual energy to drive your partner wild!

A Brave New World

For me the first tones I experience are those of violet and leather – quite a sexy aroma it is too.  Other scents Diesel have incorporated here are Amber (smoky), Cedar (woody), Lemon (fresh and fruity), which one can also smell immediately, and Styrax (a highly fragrant balsamic resin harvested from Snowbell or Storax).  Let the fragrance calm down from the initial spray and you’ll enjoy a subtle fresh fragrance that’ll last the whole day.

Sweeter fragrances do not generally appeal to me but this is different, yes there is a sweet element to it, but also something quite different. Did it make me want to save the universe, well no!  However, it did add a feeling of a sense of power and put a spring in my step!
