Davidoff Adventure (2008)
by Davidoff

I was pleasantly surprised by this scent.

Nothing gimmicky about the bottle, it has a flask style design which complements the travelling man who loves his adventure.

The scent is citrusy with a bit of spice and a mild wood touch as well.

This lasts reasonably well and the ladies seem to love it :)

Oh and for the price, a no brainer.

I was surprised at the mixed bag of ratings this fragrance got. But on second thought, I think I can see why. At first, I was not for sure about Adventure. It smelled a bit woodsy for me, and I wasn't quite sure I like the sillage, but after I gave it a few wears, I really enjoyed it. Good wood notes, not too strong, maybe a hint of citrus and has pretty decent longevity. A little bit spicy as well. Overall, I grew to like it.

I bought this perfume, inspired by its name and its commercial featuring Evan McCregor. I like the fragrance, it is not bad but i would its not unique, it is an everyday perfume, not so uncommon. To me it is very mature sporty woody fragrance can be easily worn by young and middle aged. The sillage is moderate but longevity is not good. It starts with strong spicy notes and quickly drydown to its soft, smooth woody notes. There is not so much transition of notes i felt. Anyhow nice fragrance but nothing particular. I would rate it 6.5 out of 10.

Starts with a little warming sensation caused by the black pepper but when you think that will be a spicy fragrance, the evolution brings up the real woody. Come out with the black sesame until reach the cedarwood.

Projection is amazing, even on hot weather and the fix is about 7 hours on me.

Davidoff Adventure is a new concept to woody fragrances!

I tried many fragrances in the last few days and this one really stood out - among others from the top rated ones of L'Occitane, D&G and Burberry. For sure it's an inoffensive, but exotic, not adventurous scent. Fresh and fruity on the top note, but still masculine (all notes through). I smell also notes of nutmeg, tobacco and coconut, which are not mentioned on the pyramid above. It has a bit of something of Jil Sander's "Sun", but this one is better in my view.
It is well composed and ideal for daytime use. The weak point is its poor longevity..

Understated and under-rated, Davidoff adventure is to Aftershaves like Ringo starr and George Harrison are to The Beatles. Over-looked by flashy and more advertised Aftershaves and if you every look past the glitzy and glam you see that Daviddoff Adventure is alot better that most people give it credit for.

Im only 18 and this is the only Aftershave i have bought twice, i have not smelt anything like Davidoff Adventure before or after it came out . The notes of Black Sesame and Peruvian Cedarwood gives a rich woody smell which spells great in the fall and winter but maybe to heavy for summer wearing.

Great projection and it stayed on my skin for a good 6-8 hours, the name is a bit misleading yes, you expect maybe a dirty musky sweaty aftershave, but Adventure smells more like a warm fire inside a smoky pub while having a few drinks with your mates.

9 out of 10 !
