Fabulista Adores: Davidoff’s Adventure for Men

Am totally in love with the new scent from Davidoff. Forget the complicated breakdown of citrus top notes that effervesces into a woody heart before settling into a musky base. This scent reminds one of a comfortable aged-leather chair, effused with the lingering tone of saffron tobacco.

Intoxication in an amber liquid.

I can’t help but be reminded of my first EDT love – Safari by Ralph Lauren. It’s equally masculine and comfortable at the same time. The leather and linen quality equally mesmerizing.

I am in love with the whole Ewan McGregor endorsing the “scent of adventure in the air” thing, but when the commercial frame showed him handling a bottle of the scent, I can’t help but wonder,

“isn’t biking a lone sport?”;

“aren’t you biking alone on this journey?;

“so who on earth is going to smell you when you are on the road?”

Curious, really… dousing oneself with expensive sprays for nature that already has its own perfumes and aromas. The whole concept of the ad is just… weird.

Still, am loving the scent… and Ewan (but of course).

Watch the original commercial...



...and the amusing spoof...
