Brut Classic
Brut Classic by Brut is a masculine-leaning eau de cologne from 1964 in the budget price tier. It opens with lavender, anise and bergamot, moves into geranium, jasmine and coumarin and dries down to oakmoss, musk, tonka bean and sandalwood. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Anise Sweet, liquorice-like seed. Cool and slightly medicinal.
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
Heart
- Geranium Rosy and minty at once. Reads masculine more often than not.
- Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
- Coumarin Hay, almond and vanilla in one molecule. The heart of every fougère.
Dry-down
- Oakmoss Damp forest floor. Bitter, green and the backbone of every chypre.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
