Our take

Brazen opens with a contradiction that some will love and others will find off-putting. The blueberry note arrives with a thick, syrupy quality that leans heavily into the sweet side of the accords, while the choya loban tries to pull it toward something darker and more resinous. For those who prefer airy, subtle compositions, this clash of sticky fruit and smoky incense will feel messy. The anise adds a sharp, herbal bite at the start, but it cannot fully tame the sugar.

Once the initial fruit settles, the amber and rosemary create a warm, aromatic heart that feels more cohesive. The rosemary brings a clean, green edge that cuts through the density, preventing the amber from becoming too heavy. As it develops, the honey and musk in the base take over, emphasizing the animalic and powdery facets found in the profile. It smells like a deliberate attempt to merge a gourmand treat with a traditional masculine scent, resulting in a texture that is both soft and loud.

The final impression is a warm, golden haze of honey and musk that lingers on the skin. It is a bold choice for a man who enjoys standing out in a crowd and does not mind a scent that announces its presence with a sugary, floral punch. Wear it during a night out in autumn when the air is cool, letting the spicy and sweet notes provide a contrast to the dark atmosphere.
