ok, actually I quite like that stuff but the terrible reviews made me avoid it. I secretly still want a bottle though

Adventure has not been a big "hit" since its inception a few years ago. Why are they bothering to launch an eau fraiche version of a not so great scent? Adventure can be purchased at Marshall's and TJ Maxx for a fraction of the price. When you find fragrances in these stores you know they no longer "make it" on the department store shelves.
Based on several top 10 lists in Europe, I reckon Adventure has been a big hit for Davidoff.
Interesting. It was on store shelves here in the states for only maybe 2 or 3 months. I actually really love the original Adventure and quite enjoy Amazonia, too. I can't wait to try the Eau Fraiche. I'd love it if it was a fresh and green scent with a bit of earthiness.I think the original and Amazonia did that - introducing some earthiness within the confines of a mainstream scent - rather well. I actually get a rather earthy/dirty base in the original, with quite a bit of cedar and then a nice dose of vetiver, too.
Based on the notes list, the base may be similar to the original (or more likely, Amazonia), while the top and heart sound more like Mugler Cologne. If that were true, that'd be a wonderful match.
