Silver Shadow (2005)
by Davidoff

Very Unique modern fragrance for a male perfume, I have smelt this fragrance in some high end women's perfume; however, this is very masculine with Benzoin, Cedar, oak-mos and amber.... I find it very sexy to be worn with a suite/tuxedo or sheer office use, its subtle and aromatic (not at all cloying). The only words I can describe it as are - sophistication and young flyer!!

Very versatile!

Projection is good!!

Longevity is good (apply not like a miser)

Sillage is also good!

my personal favorite I'm in love with the top notes of this perfume. the smell of bitter orange goes well with cedar. Longevity is good but not more than 5-6 hours.
try this you will fell in love with the top notes

Even though not very original, highly appealing. When I'm mentioning originality I'm actually referring to Hugo Boss No 6 aka Bottled. There is something, though, that slightly detaches it from Boss Bottled but not to an extent to own it if Boss Bottled is already owned. This type of fragrance is for a charismatic, elegant, self assured man and might be a part of my collection once my bottle of Boss no6 gets drained completely. Thumb up from me with this slight hope that Davidoff maybe, just maybe "has it".

This fragrance in its complexity is surely classy and elegant with a sufficient level of boldness and charisma. It's not an extraordinary juice ( strange being a Kurkdjian's creation) and this is a concern because, as well as the ambery misty dry down is set with the initial spicy-orangy blast by this time faded, the scent becomes a bit ordinary in its final masculine and powdery dustiness. I appreciate the initial long accord of neroli, cinnamon, nuttmeg and saffron that is really captivating. In the central phase the fragrance becomes woody due to cedarwood and a bit herbal retaining in part the influence of spices and a certain level of sharpness. In the final part of the evolution the fragrance starts to soften and shadow in order to become ambery and earthy in a powdery shadowy way. In this phase the juice is a bit ordinary and onedimensional. Silver shadow is a more than decent fragrance for work and dates suitable for mature men, longevity and projection are over the average.

The note pyramid looks inviting but sprayed on skin, this one smells cheap. Really cheap, probably the worst amber I've ever smelled. Kind of reminds me of bad knockoff of the exceptional Obsession for Men. Hard to find much redeeming value here. Yet another Davidoff fragrance to heap onto the men's fragrance pile. If this were to go away, no one would notice. It's frags like these that could give Kurkdjian a bad reputation and ruin his budding career.

I used to own this and sold it thankfully. When I smelled it at Marshall's I fell in love with it. That was before I actually put it on my skin. Silver Shadow is a very overpowering fragrance that lingers.

I get a ton of pineapple from it, too much pineapple with hints of patchouli and cedar. The dry down is powdery and headache inducing, Silver Shadow is a good choice if you like stuff like Dunhill Man, Dunhill Desire, Celine Fever (in the dark blue bottle), or just getting headaches in general.
