Luxist Giveaway: Diesel Only The Brave Iron Man Cologne For You And A Friend

Filed under: Cosmetics and Fragrance, Men's Style

Diesel has just released a limited edition fragrance for men based on Iron Man and their existing "Only the Brave" fragrance product (which we wrote about here previously). Just hearing this makes me think that it smells like oil and gasoline fumes mixed with the sweet chemical smell of a foundry. And with Diesel's new slogan of "Be Stupid" I wouldn't put it past them. Alas, "Only The Brave," has no mechanical odors to be found. It has a clean, modern scent that starts a bit sweet moving to a light citrus with an overtone of freshness. Perfect for hip city goers and young adults. You can learn more via the fragrance's Facebook page here.

Iron Man 2 was all about buddies and teamwork - so we are giving away a pair of Only the Brave Iron Man 2.5 Fl. Oz. bottles for you and a friend. You can decide who will go out as Iron Man and who will be War Machine. Again, we are giving away two bottles, each to the same person if you enter below and are selected to win. Diesel Only The Brave Iron Man Cologne comes in a red, fist-shaped dispenser and retails for $67.50. They are available for purchase online from Dillard's here, or at Diesel boutiques, major department stores, and other locations where fine fragrances can be found.

Tony Stark Chooses Jaeger-LeCoultre Watches In Iron Man 2 Movie

by Ariel Adams (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Timepieces / Watches

Tony Stark has two sidekicks in Iron Man 2, War Machine and Jaeger-LeCoultre. The popular luxury Swiss watch makers watch selected as the timepiece of choice on Robert Downey Jr.'s wrist as he played character Tony Stark in the newest installment of Iron Man. In the sequel, when Iron Man is not in his sophisticated mechanical suit, he is wearing a sophisticated mechanical watch. There are at least three different Jaeger-LeCoultre watches adorning Downey Jr.'s wrist in the film. Paramount of which is the new limited edition AMVOX3 GMT Tourbillon watch in platinum. See my other post on the matter for the other Jaeger-LeCoultre watches Tony Stark gets to show off in Iron Man 2 here.

The AMVOX series of watch is part of a partnership between Jaeger-LeCoultre and Aston Martin, but none of those cars are in the movie - as the film features Audi automobiles. Regardless, the style and pedigree of the AMVOX3 fits in perfectly well with the character's technical aptitude, flamboyant demeanor, and preference for mechanical goodness. The only disappointment to most movie viewers is the good looking watch is for the high-luxury buyer owner. At least Iron Man's timepiece is technically within reach as his suit of armor is only available in Hollywood form (for now).
