Silver Shadow Private (2008)
by Davidoff

I've liked several Davidoff scents so when I read the reviews of this one I bought it immediately.
Mistake. On a positive note it has a nice looking bottle. On the other hand, it smells exactly and I mean exactly like L'Homme byYSL which was introduced a year earlier.
L'Homme is not a bad scent by any means but out of the 20 bottles in my rotation it is near the bottom. It has taken me 2 years to get 3/4 the way through a Small bottle of L'Homme.
I was looking forward to using it up but now I have the Shadow to deal with!

Smells quite like Armani Night to my nose, very nice, but no need to purchase when you already have Night.

Wow, the violet does not hide itself in this one...Very close to Tom Ford for men, only better in that it is deeper and stronger. As it dries though I pick up a definate Beyond Paradise for men, not suprised since as ZeeK pointed out, Calice Becker was one of the noses behind BP. Not bad, though...more luxurious than BP, stronger more emphatic than Tom Ford for men.

I tried it in a departmental store. It smells like a weak Echo. Will not be buying this.

Am a great lover of Silver Shadow by Davidoff. Was so keen and excited for the debut of its new fragrance "Silver Shadow Private" (SSP).

Yesterday! While shopping at the bookstore my wife sighted the corner where sales girls of a perfume shop were giving a test drive of SSP to shoppers. I forgot the books and went directly to the spot for testing it over my skin, first snuff and i throw my hand towards my wife to smell the fragrance... "wow" was the shortest compliment we both could say. So, as i said i "was" excited... I instantly went up to the shop and bought a 3.4oz of this lovely scent.

Its simply marvelous and its first time my wife forced me to buy some fragrance.. truly "irresistible" and i bet its sort of a stick-to-skin type fragrance... long lasting with a good silage but not very intense. Very nice citrusy opening in combination with the spicy notes of cardamom. Heart becomes bit floral but maintains deep masculinity until its dried down to the base notes of Musk & Leather...

There are 2 noses behind this fragrance Jacques Huclier (A*Men Pure Coffee, B*Men, Ice*Man) / Calice Becker (Beyond Paradist, J'Adore), IMO it could be their best MEN fragrance composition.

Highly recommended for a romantic wear even intimate romantic wear and i bet you wont get disappointed.
