Fragrance information:
Forster and Johnsen is a young American perfume house that made its debut in 2011, though its roots go back to 2010, when industry veterans Walter Johnsen and David Jenkins joined forces.
Their creation, Courage EDT, is a bold step into the world of chypre fragrances, released in 2010. The fragrance is designed for men and belongs to the chypre family.
The composition was created by renowned perfumer Françoise Caron, who brought elegance and character to it.
Character and Scent Profile
Courage EDT is a fragrance for those who are not afraid to be themselves. It is masculine, yet light and unobtrusive.
Its trail is rated as noticeable, so just a couple of sprays are enough to leave an impression.
Thanks to its fresh citrus and spicy notes, the fragrance is ideal for daytime wear, especially during the warmer months.
It is suitable for both everyday occasions and special events when you want to emphasize your individuality.
Composition and Development
The Courage EDT pyramid is built on contrasts and harmony. The top notes—juicy bergamot, floral neroli, and spicy pink pepper—create an energetic, sparkling opening.
The heart unfolds with delicate nuances of geranium, powdery iris, and warm labdanum, adding depth to the composition.
The base of patchouli, resins, and vetiver provides longevity and an earthy, slightly smoky trail.
Together, these notes create a fresh yet long-lasting fragrance that evolves on the skin over several hours.
Pairing and Similar Fragrances
Courage EDT is a versatile perfume that works well on both skin and clothing (we recommend spraying it from a distance of 15–20 cm).
Thanks to its chypre character, it perfectly complements casual or smart-casual looks.
