Boots shoppers snap up iconic Diesel fragrance with 1,600 five-star reviews now half price
"My husband has been wearing this on and off for years. He loves it, I love it, and it lasts long on him, which always helps."
Boots shoppers are snapping up a long-lasting eau de toilette that's been slashed down to half price. Diesel Only The Brave Mens Eau de Toilette would usually cost £60 for a 30ml bottle, but has now dropped down to £30.
The fragrance comes in an iconic fist shaped bottle that stands out on any dressing table or shelf. It has a bright opening with citrus notes of Amalfi lemon and mandarin before settling into a masculine heart of cedar, coriander and violet. The base is a well grounded blend of French labdanum, amber styrax, benzoin and leather.
It's proven popular with fans of Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier (£46 for 40ml), although Le Male is much sweeter. Rabanne's 1 Million (£57.99 for 50ml), which is quite spicy, is also a popular choice with fans of Only the Brave.
It's brought in an average rating of 4.6 out of 5 from more than 2,000 reviews, with an impressive 1,888 of shoppers surveyed saying that they would recommend it. One shopper said: "Fantastic fragrance, three people have randomly complimented me on the tube when I've worn Only the Brave. Great brand and awesome smell - love it."
Another was pleased, adding: "My husband has been wearing this on and off for years. He loves it, I love it, and it lasts long on him, which always helps. Great buy."
Some shoppers have found it a little too overpowering, though, with one complaining: "It smells good after you let it air for a couple of hours. At first, it's too strong and makes me dizzy. After a couple of hours, it smells good. The aroma lasted the whole day. I really don't like very strong aroma perfumes."
It's proven a popular option for dads and sons alike, with one writing: "Love this smell, wish it wasn't so pricey, normally buy it for my dad on father's day, he loves it too."
Diesel Only The Brave is now available for £30.

What I Own: We pay £450 per month for our £409,950 mortgage-free Watford flat
Welcome back to What I Own – Metro's property series where we speak to homeowners about getting on the ladder. Roy and Gil Hamilton, both 84, were living in a three-bed flat when, looking to downsize, they began exploring the possibility of living in a retirement village. They eventually settled on a two-bedroom apartment in Watford, down the road from their previous home. They paid £409,950, leaving them mortgage-free. Since the couple completed in 2022, they've found a community, with Gil taking up Pilates and cheerleading, while Roy enjoys watercolour painting. They initially paid a £500 reservation fee, and now their monthly costs total just £450, including all bills and service charges. Here's what Roy had to say about their property journey… You can access completely fee-free mortgage advice with London & Country (L&C) Mortgages, a partner of Metro. Customers benefit from: – Award winning service from the UK's leading mortgage broker – Expert advisors on hand 7 days a week – Access to 1000s of mortgage deals from across the market Unlike many mortgage brokers, L&C won't charge you a fee for their advice. Find out how much you could borrow online Mortgage service provided by London & Country Mortgages (L&C), which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (registered number: 143002). The FCA does not regulate most Buy to Let mortgages. Your home or property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. My wife, Gil and I, are both 84 years old and in September, we'll have been married for 60 years. Gil is French and was working as a translator when we met. I was an engineer before moving into selling high-value computers. We both have separate hobbies, and enjoy socialising too. Our reservation fee was £500, and we bought our property at Mayfield Watford Retirement Village outright two and a half years ago, so we don't have a mortgage. The service charge, including management fee and services, heating, electricity and water, is roughly £450 a month. Our first ever property cost £295,000 when we bought it after we got married, in 1964. It was a three-bedroom semi-detached house in Up Holland, which is a village in Skelmersdale, West Lancashire. I can't quite remember how much the deposit was all those years ago, but we saved up £50 a month until we were able to buy. We've lived in six properties in different parts of the country since then, most recently the two-bedroom apartment in Watford. The proceeds from the sale of the flat were enough to buy our new home outright. We love the area as our previous property was nearby, so we've known it for years. We've got lots of family here, which is one of our favourite things about it. There's a thriving community at Mayfield. There are shops, a riverside park, as well as leisure facilities, such as a pool, sauna, gym, beauty treatment rooms and a café. We completed on September 30 2022, and the apartment cost £409,950. We lived in a flat in Watford with three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. Once we saw what Mayfield had to offer, we were particularly sold on the social aspect. There are many clubs and opportunities to socialise with people. My wife is part of the Mayfield Belles, the village's cheerleaders, who perform at our big events. We received a leaflet in the post and decided to visit. At the time we had no idea what a retirement village offered, but we haven't looked back since. We didn't bring any furniture with us, because it was all too big for our new, smaller, space at Mayfield. All of our furniture was bought to fit the available space, so we don't feel cramped. We both had the opportunity to pick what kind of wallpaper and paint we wanted, which was mainly chosen to go well with our new furniture. We're in the process of redecorating. Our kitchen units are grey, so we've repainted the walls in a deep reddish maroon to contrast. We've also added wallpaper in the lounge at the moment, which is patterned grey and silver. The lounge. It feels like the heart of the home to us. It's just right. Yes. We'd actually already downsized to our previous three-bed flat, as the home we lived in before that was becoming too hard to maintain. Our Mayfield apartment being smaller means it's easy to keep clean. More Trending Downsizing is one of the best decisions we've ever made. It's about reassessing where you are in life, and doing what's best for you, which means changing your attitude – and your furniture! There have been no problems with the property and Gil and I are very happy with our decision to move here. Moving to Mayfield is the best thing we ever did. It was a change of lifestyle, and for a better one. View More » But although buying a home is exciting, it can be a very stressful time. So, my biggest piece of advice is to make sure to support each other throughout the process. Do you have a story to share?
