Roller Ball vs Alcohol Spray
Oil vs Alcohol
The rollerball Eau de Parfum (EdP) is approximately 20% fragrance in MCT Oil (odorless, clear, refined coconut oil). Compared to an alcohol spray, it will be more subtle, wear closer to the body, and have a less intense application.
Oil is moisturizing for the skin, whereas alcohol can be drying and affect your body's natural microbiome.
Oil has a significantly longer evaporation timeframe. Be aware of where the product is applied to minimize marking clothing and materials you touch. To minimize leaving residue, rub oil fully into skin.
How to Use Oil EdP
- Apply to dry skin after showering while pores are clean and open.
- Roll the Eau de Parfum at a 45 degree angle on two to six pulse points on the body.
- Recommended pulse points: neck, behind ears, inner elbow, forearms, wrists (be aware it can be washed off easily), and chest
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.
How Long EdP Lasts
Eau de Parfum by Bandholz will last 6–8 hours. To maximize performance, apply to dry skin after showering while pores are clean and open. A more personalized scent will develop as it mixes with your skin’s natural oils and will be more subtle than an alcohol spray experience.
Some customers experience olfactory fatigue where the fragrance is still noticeable, but not to the wearer. This is normal.
Fragrance Strength
Bandholz Eau de Parfum contains approximately 20% fragrance in the formulation.
Size of EdP
0.68 fl oz / 20 ml

Ingredients
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (MCT Oil), Parfum (Fragrance)
Bandholz roller-ball EdP is alcohol-free fragrance with a MCT Oil base (highly refined coconut oil). Made from phthalate-free natural, naturally-derived, and safe synthetic ingredients, Bandholz Eau de Parfum is subtle enough to layer, yet distinctive enough to leave a lasting impression.
NO PARABENS / NO PHTHALATES
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).
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.

I’ve enjoyed using the beard oil since its introduction a few years ago, and while Bold Fortune in oil form is excellent, the cologne really helps to bring out the fragrance notes. On myself, the leather note really stands out more than it does in the oil form. Very well done!
Good stuff. It does get gas when's it lasted a little bit longer but a great aroma and most of the day stays really nice. Just wears off a bit to fast but I love the sense.
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.
been rocking this for a while now, gf loves this stuff so much she won't let me buy another scent!!!
Bold Fortune Men's Cologne
PERFECT SCENT FOR A REAL MAN
The whiskey and tobacco is strong here, like your grandpa's poker room
Scent is great but can’t even smell it. Wish it was a spray
Solid products always!!
Same as last review, weak . Pass
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.
Bold Fortune Men's Cologne
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
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, deliciously "sweet/whisky/tobacco" and woodsy, longevity is moderate but projection is gentle/weak
Nice scent that isn't overpowering. Long lasting too.
Bold Fortune Men's Cologne
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?
Bold Fortune is a keeper!
At first it's amazing. But losses it's fragrance quickly. For the price point I would expect more. Amazing customer service though.
Amazing smell
Great fragrance…doesnt last
Perfect 4 pack of some amazing scents.
Bold Fortune Men's Cologne
Everywhere I go people ask what I am wearing as a cologne. Most have never smelled something so masculine and beautiful. Magic!
My favored Norse Winter and Bold Fortune. I wanted some travel cologne’s and these will work perfectly.
First, I love the roll-on feature. Each of the four scents is unique and really amazing. I love the masculine and deep aspects of each. Try it out, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
I love this product
