Wearing It

How to Use EdP

  • Apply to dry skin after showering while pores are clean and open.
  • Roll Eau de Parfum on two to four pulse points on the body.

Body heat helps to diffuse the fragrance as you wear it, and a more personalized scent will develop as it mixes with your skin’s natural oils. The scent will last 6–8 hours.

I bought the .8 ounce and Im coming back for beard oil and a much bigger bottle of thr cologne. Wife loves it, I love it, and it holds up pretty well under stress im the field yet also smells good enough to wear to meetings that require finesse (Has been tested in both environments, exceeded expectations every time).

The Peoples Champ!

Being a fan of the old EDP, I approached with cautious optimism. Temple Smoke had been in my corner for years and change is hard. Ordered the day of release and felt Beardbrand channel their inner Rocky, “If I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!” So true. I realized I also had to walk the walk. So, I snagged Bold Fortune instead. Ballsy, I know. Well, despite being happily married, I’ve been turning heads faster than an Ivan Drago right hook. Needless to say, the new package, applicator, and product quality pulls no punches.

BeardBrand hit a HOME RUN with this long-lasting, EdP goodness!

Holy smokes! I was not expecting to love this as much as I do!

The EdPs arrived a couple of days ago. I tried out the Temple Smoke and Bold Fashion first and enjoyed an evening smelling freaking amazing! My two favorite BB scents really hit the right notes!

The next morning: the scents were still bringing the olfactory heat! I was really surprised by this and greatly appreciate the long-lasting effect.

The bottles and labels have the just right amount of heft and refinement to showcase the detailed craftsmanship and unassuming sophistication inherent in the brand. Also, the steel ball, roll-on applicator puts out just the right amount of product without wasting any.

Congratulations to the BB mad scientists for concocting the perfect EdP products! I'm a believer!

Founders Vision For The EdP

Hey guys, so glad you found this product and I'm excited to share it with you.

Traditional colognes are alcohol based. Alcohol will disrupt your microbiome, irritate the skin, and change your pH balance.

I didn't think cologne should wreck your skin and introduce a risk to more body odor, so that's why we went with an MCT Oil base for our fragrances.

Sprays leave half of the product in the air, potentially gassing out everyone around you.

So we went with a roller-ball to allow for discreet application with consideration for those around you. In addition to that, you're not wasting any product to the air. So a smaller bottle will last much longer than a spray.

These little bottles pack a punch and produce it at an Eau de Parfum strength level (~20% fragrance).

Roll it on your inner elbows, chest, knees, neck, and waist. The MCT Oil will absorb quickly, moisturize and protect your skin while making you smell amazing.

Finally, we packaged it in UV glass which enhances the anti-microbial properties of the packaging. The cool steel roller ball glides smoothly and I think you're gonna love it. It's been a long time in the works and excited for you to try it.

Enjoy our current offering and I wouldn't be surprised if our limited edition fragrances get a little cologne love in the future.

A Fortune Worth Smelling, Just Not a Bold One

Bold Fortune has a distinct scent that I genuinely enjoy, but I think the name oversells it a bit. I wouldn’t call this fragrance “bold.” It’s much more of a light, mellow scent that’s honestly hard to describe. It smells good and has its own character, but it’s definitely not a powerhouse scent or one that announces itself when you walk into a room.

Longevity is about what I’ve experienced with Beardbrand’s other fragrances—roughly 2–4 hours before it fades away.

Overall, I enjoy the scent and will continue wearing it. I just wish something called Bold Fortune had a little more boldness and staying power. For me, that lands it at 3 stars.

They say fortune favors the bold. In this case, I’m still waiting on the bold to show up.

Bold Fortune – More Subtle Than You'd Expect

Bold Fortune is a little misleading—in the best possible way. I expected something dark and intense. Instead, it's surprisingly subtle, smooth, and slightly sweet.

The whiskey and saffron give it a warm opening, while leather & tobacco add depth without overpowering the sweeter side of the fragrance. Everything blends together rather than competing for attention, giving Bold Fortune a relaxed confidence.

It's not the loudest fragrance in the room, and I think that's part of its appeal. Bold Fortune feels warm, polished, and inviting without demanding attention. If you're expecting a heavy, smoky whiskey scent, it may surprise you—in a very good way.

Integrity

I recently took advantage of a sale on a bundle of four colognes. Rather than buy a bucket of my favorite, Temple Smoke, I experimented with a couple new choices, grabbing Desert Road and Bold Fortune. Unfortunately Bold Fortune wasn't my thing. It was nice- complex and rich, but with a note of sweetness that just didn't line up with my tastes. I went through the exchange process and traded for Norse Winter (amazing btw). The process was a breeze and now I have three different scents I like! They even let me keep the Bold Fortune, which I gave to a friend. He loves it.
It is good to deal with a company that has this much trust and confidence in their products. They have an integrity not often seen anymore. If you are on the fence about a scent, don't be- this company stands behind their products.

I love the way it smells. My wife loves it on me. You have to get a little close to smell it on me, but I don’t mind that and neither does she.

It smells good but makes no impact

I use the cologne along with the beard balm. The cologne can’t be detected at all. I’m very disappointed. I’ll use it until it runs out but I won’t order it again

#3 on the list

I like it for a different scent but I like the dessert road and temple smoke a little more. Need to try different scents but at this time bold fortune comes in at number three out of four.

love the smell

love the smell, deliciously "sweet/whisky/tobacco" and woodsy, longevity is moderate but projection is gentle/weak

Too strong to get along

Let me start by saying I love Beardbrand products. The quality is second to none. I was hoping to love this scent, but it ended up being too “bold” for me. I still plan to buy other products, just not in this scent.

The smell is awesome!
I will be back for more excellent smelling stuff!!

Scent is weak, weaker than the utility oil even.

Title says it all. The fragrance is nice, but this was not worth buying as it’s barely noticeable and doesn’t last. Would not buy again. Maybe this was a bad batch?

The hardest part is choosing a favorite.

I ordered the cologne set to determine which scent to choose for my beard products (finally retired and growing out my first yeard). I really like them ALL. Norse Winter eeks out a win as my favorite, but the others are killer, too. I also really enjoy the culture and personalities of this company. The videos and podcasts are informative and entertaining. Thanks, Beardbrand.
