Diesel

Spirit of the

Brave EDT

75ml R1 070 at

Diesel Stores

and Truworths

Brazilian soccer giant Neymar Jr. is the
face of Diesel’s newest scent, Spirit Of
The Brave. The fist-shaped bottle, which
features a gold lion, was inspired by one of
the 27-year-old’s tattoos – he has 70, each
illustrating an important event in his life.
The lion tattoo replicated on the
fragrance bottle covers the top of his left
hand – hence that fist-shaped bottle – and
is a symbol of self-confidence and bravery
for the footballer.

“I wanted a fragrance that would be both

fresh and elegant, something that could

give me energy and confidence in every

moment of my life,” he says of the scent.

Renowned perfumer Carlos Benaïm

at IFF and Neymar Jr. worked together to

create a sophisticated fougère contrasted

with an unprecedented natural freshness.

“I’ve blended the sensuality and lightness of

cypress oil with citruses and noble woods to

create an explosive complex,” said Benaïm.

Keep It Light

If you’re constantly

smelling the

fragrance, you’ve

applied too much.

Stick to two spritzes

• one on your neck
  and one in the centre
  of your shirt; two
  spots where you’re
  likely to perspire.

Don’t Clash Scents

You don’t have to use

every variation of a

fragrance – cologne,

aftershave, body

wash, deodorant.

One at a time is fine.

But make sure your

other products don’t

clash with the scent

you choose.

Make It Last

A go-to scent should

be able to stick with

you throughout the

day without being

too abrasive. Keep

in mind that an EDP

lasts longer than

an EDT. Dry skin?

UP YOUR GAME THIS SEASON WITH A SPRITZ
OF NEYMAR JR’S NEW ORIENTAL, WOODY
FRAGRANCE. / BY AZEEZ JACOBS

Apply fragrance

more often. Oily

skin holds scent

longer.

Midday Splash

Cologne can beat

the 3pm slump. A

quick spritz mid-

afternoon will keep

you smelling fresh

into the evening.

We suggest spraying

yourself in one

central area, not

all over – this gives

the fragrance more

staying power.

Wear Different

Scents For

Different Seasons

Heat intensifies

any fragrance, and

scents are stronger

when combined with

sweat. That’s why an

aromatic or citrus

scent works in the

summer, but you can

go a bit heavier in

winter – think woody

or leathery scents.
