Adventure Davidoff 2008 Eau de Toilette

It is cheap.It smells good(10min after spraying - top notes are synthetic).The box is amazing.The silage and the longevity are below average and that is it.Would i buy it again - probably no, but i am happy i own it because it smells very light and leathery.
I think this is the best fragrance for going in the park with your kids.It is not overwhelming it is light , but you still know that you have parfume on you.Do not get me wrong it is not bad , but you we feel the smell for like 15 minutes

I wore this daily in my late teens/early twenties and I loved it so much, I nearly always had it in my bag. The original bottle with the metal around the top was much nicer btw.

This is a light scent but it's delicious, and it isn't obnoxious if/when over sprayed, which I did constantly as it was so fleeting yet so comforting.

Ambery citrus with creamy woody undertones.

Layered really nicely with my Holland and Barrett manuka honey body products and deodorant that I was obsessed with back then too.

I found this to be a very androgynous scent on me and not particulary masculine at all, despite the advertising.

Good cologne with interesting mid notes, but then dries down to a weak cedar base.

The notes in the piramid should work great, but it's not this case.

Lasting power is below average (2 hours maximum) and also projection is weak.

Scent
It is a fresh scent. Suit with it's name Adventure. Citrus scents bring a sparkle on the top and middle notes.

Longevity
The longevity of the fragrance is okay.
For non 4-seasons countries, it is suitable on day time. The longevity can hold around 5-6 hours.
Surprisingly, if involve in an active activity, the longevity would be better, that may last to 6-7 hours.
For the 4-seasons countries, the longevity may can long-last to 5-6 hours.

Performance
The performance is okay. The top notes may hold longer than middle and base notes. The scent is in better performance if involve to an active activity.

Sillage
The sillage is okay too. Not overrated or underrated, just on the par.

Uniqueness
Not so much uniqueness for the Davidoff Adventure. A scent that will not give a trademark or attract surrounding people.

Bottle Design
The bottle design is ordinary. Easy to use but ordinary.

I absolutely love good oils when cooking. I must consider myself lucky to be blessed with Vitamin B, as a good acquaintance often treats me to olive oil from his father in Apulia, who owns an olive grove and is hands-on. All first pressing, dark yellow, not a bit bitter, and incredibly delicious. Especially healthy too. Even more so, when it fits, I prefer to use sesame oil, not just because it’s probably even healthier. It’s already a pleasure to let the fine nutty, full-bodied character, infused with roasting aromas, rise into the room by heating the pan. Wonderful!

What does this have to do with Davidoff's "Adventure"? A lot, because this scent is not a trivial mainstream work for me; it has substance in an innovative sense and is a clear insider tip. Between lemon, mandarin, and woods, or a soapy clean note, the whole thing is given spice by a subtle sesame note. I haven’t encountered anything like it before, and it is thoroughly successful. Musk, probably white and not an animalistic representative, adds a soft note to the whole.

Of course, one can be misled by the name, as "Adventure" is not a cliff diver. This adventure is more of a subtle journey of discovery, where you get to know new impressions and facets. To put it more vividly: If it were a love adventure, it wouldn’t be a hot affair, but rather one of refined love. The love for detail. Incorporating sesame so subtly as a seasoning component speaks to a fondness for one’s craft and doesn’t fit into a quick-shot scheme. There’s definitely some thought behind it.

In this regard, this is the best Davidoff for me and an insider tip for anyone looking for a wonderful all-rounder. However, if someone expects a rough, edgy adventure here, they should come on strong, because "Adventure" does not offer that. It is a subtle adventure with brains and understanding.
