About This Perfume
Davidoff Champion comes across as cool lemon citrus breeze over green woods. It opens with lemon and bergamot, moves into clary sage and galbanum and settles on cedar and oakmoss. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette is best in spring, summer and fall and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 2010.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, 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: you have not smelled it before; it is not an easy blind buy.
- Skip if: you dislike citrus fragrances.
Around $96.
