About This Perfume
Think Bright citrus tea with green, peppery snap: that is Davidoff Adventure. It opens with green tea, mandarin orange and lemon, moves into pimento and sesame and settles on cedarwood, musk and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. A good pick for casual days and the office. Released in 2008.
Wearers report that it lasts a solid half day on skin, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something fresh and uplifting for casual days.
- Sample first if: woody is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike spicy fragrances.
Around $78.
