Diesel Fragrances and Neymar Jr. have teamed up once again to create Spirit of the Brave Intense

Created in collaboration with Brazilian soccer star Neymar Jr., the “Spirit of the Brave” fragrance has encouraged young men around the world to confront their fears head-on and achieve the impossible.

 

Now, Diesel Fragrances and Neymar Jr. have teamed up once again with a second fragrance that perfectly complements the first—Spirit of the Brave Intense.

 

 

 

A modern approach that takes the concepts of sophistication and sensuality to new heights.

 

While the original Spirit of the Brave encourages men to be brave and face their fears in every situation, Spirit of the Brave Intense exudes both extreme boldness and daring.

 

 

The latest addition to The Brave family, Spirit of the Brave Intense, completes—and intensifies—Diesel Fragrances’ clan of courage, where each fragrance not only corresponds to a type of courage but also complements its counterparts.

 

 

AN INTENSELY SENSUAL FRAGRANCE

 

With Spirit of the Brave Intense, Neymar Jr. and renowned perfumer Carlos Benaïm have transformed their original exploration of modern masculinity into something warmer, with a sophisticated touch, resulting in a scent that is more sensual and addictive.

 

While the original is an Eau de Toilette and Spirit Of The Brave Intense is an Eau de Parfum, both fragrances are built on the same structure—a sophisticated woody fougère, infused with energy and sensuality. This makes them perfectly complementary.

 

Spirit Of The Brave Intense was developed to be richer and warmer—even more masculine—with the addition of two 100% natural essences: vanilla and patchouli.

 

“I built Spirit Of The Brave Intense around the sophisticated fougère DNA of the original fragrance,” said Benaïm. “For a more sensual take, I enriched the formula with fruity and oriental notes, including a juicy blend of apple, to enhance its masculine character. Vanilla and patchouli were then added to give Spirit Of The Brave Intense its sense of refinement.”

 

 

GOLD!

 

When it comes to packaging, Spirit Of The Brave Intense goes for gold—the color of victory, prosperity, and refinement, three values that perfectly match Neymar Jr.’s sunny personality.

 

Like the previous fragrances in the Only The Brave line, Spirit Of The Brave Intense comes in a bottle shaped like a clenched fist. Just like the original Spirit Of The Brave, the Intense features an image of a tattooed lion, similar to the one on Neymar Jr.’s own fist.

 

Both the bottle and the outer packaging feature a luxurious, rich gold finish, with the logo and lettering printed in deep black, reflecting the most glamorous side of Neymar Jr.’s personality. An expression of sophisticated masculinity with a touch of luxury.

 

 

ABOUT NEYMAR JR.

 

 

Focused and intense, yet always outgoing, Neymar Jr. is widely admired for his breathtaking speed, his intensity on the field, and his daring as an athlete—as well as his radiant personal style. From the high levels of concentration required on the field to the intense and constant demands of the global media or on a personal level—whether it’s his passion for the game or his love of tattoos—this is a man whose philosophy of life, day and night, is intensity.

 

His vibrant social life and his positive, loyal personality resonate with a generation that goes to great lengths to face and embrace challenges. He is an inspiring force, both on the soccer field and on social media, where his reach is immense. At just 27 years old, he is the third-largest male influencer in the world, with over 200 million followers.

 

The tattoos on his body tell the story of his life; every important chapter has been inked onto his skin, like a visual autobiography. His most striking tattoo—a roaring lion on his forearm—is reproduced on the bottle, which is shaped like a forearm, for Spirit Of The Brave Intense.

 

INTENSITY AND ADRENALINE

 

To coincide with the launch of Spirit Of The Brave Intense, additional images show Neymar Jr. bathed in the golden lights of a seemingly endless hallway. The scene is ambiguous. We could be inside an arena on the way to the soccer field or inside a chic club on the way to the dance floor.

 

Regardless of the outcome, the scene captures that intimate moment of intense concentration, just seconds before we face the wider world and its challenges—whatever they may be—with renewed confidence and a rush of adrenaline.
