I have it: 277 I had it: 137 I want it: 121 My signature: 4
This fragrance for men by the house of Davidoff that brings the challenge of adventure was released in February of 2008, except for the USA market, where it is planned to launched in the fall the same year.
It is promoted by the actor and the real adventurer Ewan McGregor, famous for his roles in Trainspotting, Star Wars, Moulin Rouge, Down with Love. He says that this fragrance and its advertising campaign are deeply connected with him, not only personally, but also with his great passion - motorcycling.
The perfume is created to be woody and spicy and it was designed by perfumer Antoine Lie, Givaudan. He was inspired by untamed nature, its freshness and rich woody notes.
This fragrance starts with sweet and fresh notes of mandarin orange, bergamot, and sparkling lemon, followed by green tea and black pepper. Seeds of black sesame and berries of South American pimento dominate the heart of the fragrance, and the base is made of Peruvian cedar, vetiver and light musk. The fragrance comes in 50 ml and 100 ml bottles, as eau de toilette and 100 ml bottle after shave, with the whole cosmetic line (deodorants, shampoo...).
Stephen Klein was the photographer of the advertising campaign, and the famous actor was photographed in dense Brazilian jungle.

Dont bother with this. Seriously you may as well spray butane gas on your skin, cause seriously thats all i got up my nose with this one. horrible
امروز خریدمش . پخش بو و ماندگاریش متوسطه ، فکر می کنم اکثراً بپسندن به خصوص عطربازای حرفه ای . عالیه . بویی که مدت ها دنبالش بودم ولی نمی دونستم دنبالشم ! واقعاً خوبه ، خیلی خوب . شاید یه کم شیرین ، یه کم تلخ و تند ، خنک ، ملایم و مردونه و بی آزار . تعادل رو میشه توش حس کرد . یه جورایی بوی خوشمزه ای داره . یه رایحه ی چند لایه که بعد از نیم ساعت تا یه ساعت بهتر هم میشه و به همین ترتیب به مرور بهتر و بهتر . راستش از اونجا که من خیلی چایی دوست دارم و تو این ادکلن هم از چای استفاده شده یکی از دلایلی هستش که انتخابش کردم . شیشه ی قشنگی هم داره ، حتی از قوطیشم خوشم اومد . صد و هفتاد بابتش پول دادم و راضیم . ادونچر ، دیویدوف . ا
در یک کلام ، متعادل و بسیار دوست داشتنی
This cologne is good for summer seasons daytime wearing.This cologne is similar with Emporio Armani He
So my boyfriend bought this for his dad, his dad doesn't actually use it, but bf does, and when he does I LOVE IT!! I think it's quite a sexy fragrance. I actually prefer this to 'The One' that he actually owns.
Am gunna buy this one for him because it is hot!
Well i think its very good, Davidoff Adventure is well made. I think its more classy but still sporty. Davidoff will be my fave scents for ever. I like it and i think if you like Davidoff this is a good one. :)
It's like a light mixture of RL Safari and Burberry Men. Nice fragrance.
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.
Opens with bergamot, orange, tea leaves and pepper mixture. Top notes merge into the middle notes of pepper & pimento, which is a very nice mix.
Honestly, there’s not much dry down on me, it just kind of ….well, disappears.
Smelling this actually does conjure up images of the type that you see in the Ewin McGregor commercial for this fragrance. Whoever designed that commercial has Adventure pegged. Very, very good advertising (and I usually hate advertising in general).
I love the scent itself. I probably wouldn’t give it a 10, but I’d give it an 8. But the longevity on this is bad. In fact, I have every flanker on this Adventure line and every one of them smells nice but none of them last long at all. It’s very frustrating.
So I say do with this what you will.
Bought it as a gift for my husband . He didn't like it :)
Not essential but respectable!
I honestly don't know , nice bottle, nice scent , but we didn't click with each other , may be the saying that perfume dose smell different from one another is really true unlikely !
I consider this one by far one of the nicest male scents out there. It does smell good. Does smell lovely, actually, and I do not find it generic at all, find it completely different from the vast majority of the male scents avalilable these days.
Agree with other review,
I find it similar to YSL L'Homme
My first impression:
It is a frangrancia most common, is good, but nothing more. At the opening appears a spicy orange and over time becomes smoother because of the woody cedar. With a few more minutes I feel something kind of smoky / burnt. Good perfume, but nothing new.
For me it last very long. Stragely on my skin the sharp top notes kept going strong for many hours and it seemded to tone down to a woody base and even that was presesent even past 7-8 hours.
The smell is ok, the thing I like about and makes it stand out a bit is the woody feel to it. Would have preferred a slightly darker version of this
Am I the only one who finds this similar to YSL l`homme?
Terrible longevity and projection. This doesn't last for long on my skin. Good price for a 100 mL bottle but in my opinion this one just doesn't cut it for me. The overall scent is not that good to me.
Best ever fragnance , my favorite , its communicating with every part of ur sensation . Nothing like it , I used about 10 bottles till now
I don't care about a scent at all. I love or like and I got this bottle because of Ewan only ! He's hot, tender and sexy and warming like this perfume. Simply bottle but really great smell especially in the morning. I got many attention. 9/10
I was pleasantly surprised by this scent.
Nothing gimmicky about the bottle, it has a flask style design which complements the travelling man who loves his adventure.
The scent is citrusy with a bit of spice and a mild wood touch as well.
This lasts reasonably well and the ladies seem to love it :)
Oh and for the price, a no brainer.
I bought this as a blind buy, and was pleasantly surprised.
The drydown is very quick, and segues from an intense citrus to a mix with wood - it reminds me of walking past a field or lawn that's been freshly landscaped with new flowers just put in. I don't get much pimento out of it, but overall, the scent's quite nice.
Sillage is decent, but the longevity is crazy on my skin - I can still smell it after 6-10 hours. It's a pretty good buy if you find it on sale.
Iron, acid, sour, one-dimensional, masculine, modern but somehow refreshing and invigorating
Projection & Longevity ok
Not a world beater but not bad also
adventure perfume scent seems like hugo energize
The wild one!
This perfume absolutely is of Zino descent; the moderner and lighter version of a same mood which rules Zino Davidoff. It opens sweet and sugary but stickiness vaporizes with booze and what remains is a sweet and warm spicy and citric pattern which grants a chic and friendly spirit. Something so cute and charming smells in the sub-stream and supports entire the process; something blossomy and gourmand.
Anyway, I think it’s the biggest competitor for Ralph Lauren’s Explorer. This one just like Explorer evokes a wild and impatient mood that motivates getting back to the nature.
It’s extremely casual and masculine, not something you wear in urban life to attracts all compliments, although it bring up all of them! It’s something wild that avoids being touched and seen in the crowd. Something extremely powerful...
One hour passed and dense gourmand undertone is still recognizable close to skin. Nice perfume!
Longevity 7/10
Sillage 9/10
Scent 7/10
Really sexy fragrance. I love to smell this on a man. It's exactly what an aftershave should be - you know it's there but it doesn't announce its presence loudly like some fragrances. I've never been able to separate out the different notes; it simply seems to amplify a man's natural scent. Yum!
Davidoff Adventure. Its first impression on me was very...normal. It wasn't a very special smell. Yeah it maybe a unique smell but that doesn't mean necessary that it is good.
------------------------------
The smell of Adventure is not exactly what would you expect from a fragrance with such name. It is not sporty nor aquatic & it is not a green, forest smell nor fruity !
I found the smell a woody orange-ish, with a little bit of citrus. Being woody & citrusy is the characteristic of Carolina Herrera's hit fragrance 212 men, but Davidoff Adventure is very dissimilar.
The vetiver & musk add smoky depth to the smell after a couple of hours. A dreamy touch !
This fragrance has a weak projection, but like I said it is unique & it does have its own masculine personality. Something you rarely find these day, where a lot of fragrances smell almost the same.
-----------------------------
Being a fan of woody smells, this fragrance was a disappointment, a minor one. Especially with Ewan McGregor as the face of it.
-----------------------------
Its smell reminded me of Vera Wang's only fragrance for men. Just a little hint of similarity.
i like this fragrance...it is good for summer, winter, spring, autumn. i like the citrus, the tea but i would say the most obvious in it especially after some time is the sesame....i like sesame in cooking! the smell is refined, soft and masculine. Women like this perfume and smells like a classic male perfume without being old fashioned.
It is a really amazing fragrance, I dare say that every women like it, they just go crazy when they smell "Davidoff Adventure". Thank you for creating this breathtaking fragrance.
A very nice fragrance, definitely for spring.
I have wanted to try this for a while and so when I saw a local chainstore selling one of their "unboxed" bottles for $5, I couldn't resist.
As other have noted it is a fruity spicy fragrance with quite a sweet opening. Woody notes underpin the spicy sweetness.
The problem with this scent, however, is that it is way too weak. I put 3 good sprays onto my wrist and ten minutes later I need to actually put my nose on my wrist to smell it. I read elsewhere that this is like Dunhill Pursuit, which is pretty close to the money. I would say rather, it is like Dunhill Pursuit mixed with Bulgari pour Homme or perhaps mixed with pure ethanol.
The only 'adventure' in this fragrance is the all terrain path your nose needs to take across your wrist trying to actually smell it.
Nice fragrance, but too weak.
adventure is woodsy and peppery and very dry. longevity is very poor but it's really worth it! it's a really masculine perfume for guys who don't fuss over their appearance too much..i loved it so much i gave it to my bf for christmas and he really enjoys wearing it..sometimes i layer it with vanilla or fruity scents and wear it too..wish the longevity was better though..
Out of the "usual fare" category this one's a pretty good choice. its balances citrus really well with a musky and smoky base. It reminds me most of earl grey tea (notes of tea and bergamot). unfortunately, it doesnt last very long.
I made the mistake in buying all the popular davidoffs out at the moment.
In order i would put:
Hot water
Adventure
Cool water
Champion
Adventure is nice, a good smell, but does not last long at all!
But women like it ;)
Hi.
This one is not a Banal Modern,A Modern Masculine fragrance that would last for years However ADVENTURE is not Specific and Extraordinary.I think Nice is the best word for Describe it. Sweet,Fresh, Luminous,Crisp,Pleasant,Smart with a Touch of Youth.
Citrusy and Sparkling at the beginning as it was lighter than I had expected.A sweet scent like a Orange Candy is what i Detect in the Top notes But what is Beautiful about this EDT is how it is changing between Top notes and Base notes as I find The base notes Warm and Cozy on my skin.
This DAVIDOFF EDT might Changes your Mood.It is more for the 20/30 Age Group.Ideal for Day Use in SPRING/AUTUMN.I recommend it to Everybody who wants a Discreet Woody Spicy and Definitely Inexpensive However it is not something i would wear it!
Sillage?Good.
Longevity?Above Average on my skin.
6.5/10
Though i'm not a great fan of light scents but this one i like,no special reason, all i can say some one very special gave me and loved it on me.
I have bought this fragrance blindly during the advertising action as a smell of an adventure. At first it was pleasant, it has then appeared, that it is absolutely weak. This quite good scent for each day...
A beautiful opening 30 seconds--so fresh and bracing. I was anticipating another Davidoff triumph. Unfortunately, a very damp grapefruit (other citrus notes are listed, but all I get is grapefruit) note cancels out the beauty. Soon after, this weird and off-putting metallic note--similar to Visit by Azzaro--takes over and stays...for a very long time. The drydown is okay, but doesn't completely remove the metallic note.
I won't rid myself of Adventure, but I will likely only wear it for me and around the house. A minor disappointment.
Very woody, the fruit notes dont hit me so much but the Vetiver mixes with the pimento (chilli) really well, as do the cedar and pepper notes. Makes them hard to pick out individually. Would definitely grab this one again when I run out.
This is a top 10 for me in the way that it's so smooth and easy to love.
There's nothing massively intriguing or explosive about it that makes you fall in love with it, it's simply a really nice, spicy woody smell thats very comfortable.
Best in the day. Still god for nights but not strong enough to wear out to a club if you want it to be noticed.
This is a great masculine smell, the pepper notes give it a real spicy zing. It will definitely awaken the senses. The smell is one of a kind. It's sharp, crisp and bold. I find that adventure has an aromatic quality to it. I agree with those who think that this scent is underrated.
I love Adventure very much, it is hot & spicy with full of nice herby aromatic scent! A very well blended and complex fragrance with so many different herbs yet not over power to annoy others!
Opening with a mild freshness with hints of citrus and very mild pepper scent. After about half an hour, the real gem is here! The spiciness of chili and aromatic sesame raise your desire to the maximum level~ You feel it real warm and passionate! It last for hours and the last woody note is here to calm your heat down and slow down your desire~ you have now experience a wonderful adventure with this truly amazing bottle! 8.5/10
Perfect for fall/winter season~ Lasting power & sillage is superb, 5 hours plus on me.
Try it on and try imagine the greatest adventure you have, I have mine with this~
Underrated for sure.
This is pure wood all the way. From top/heart and end. There is different levels of changing wood scents: it starts off hardcore harsh- to damp wood from a cherry whisky barrel, then OMG!!!! Lucky for me, my husband wears this amazingly. I doubt many men could pull this off. BODY CHEMISTRY IS THE DEAL BREAKER.
Meh.... It's decent but nothing special and there is no adventure in a bottle with this. Everyday use but not a keeper or saver. If you go camping and don't intend to shower then take a small bottle, might do you good?
Not quite as 'adventurous' as I would've liked, but this is still a very pleasing scent. It's quite sweet and a little bit spicy.
I guess from the advertising I had expected something a bit more exciting and earthy, but to me this smells (pleasantly) generic.
The sillage is pretty average and it has lasted on my skin for about 5 hours (not too bad!).
Overall I would rate this as a nice fragrance for most occasions; just don't expect to stand out from the crowd.
Davidoff adventure is another good fragrance from Davidoff. Wearable and refreshing for a day-to-day use.
I love its fruity punch very much :)
Cheers,
La fragancia se siente relajada y con notas bastante naturales.Para mi gusto no es exactamente una fragancia fuerte, deportiva o exótica de aventuras en lugares recónditos como insinúa el nombre, si no más bien de una caminata relajada en el campo. Esta fragancia viene ideal para las vacaciones en lugares campestres o en lugares donde uno pueda estar en contacto con la naturaleza ya que no es invasiva la fragancia que contiene.
El primer aroma que se siente en la partida es algo mezclado, con una tendencia a un dulce de ámbar algo silvestre y levemente aromático con especies, entre resinas frescas de árbol con algo fresco. Al cabo de unos 5 minutos el frescor toma más cuerpo y toma tonos de cítricos entre bergamota con limones sin llegar a ser un perfume fresco.
No es una fragancia que perdura mucho pero lo bueno que tiene es que se la puede usar en cualquier época del año. Se los recomiendo.
great, warm & comforting, with a slight coconut scent, I'm surprised it isn't in the fragrance notes. oh, and the bottle is strong & durable, like a hip-flask.
I like the feel of it in my hand, something that will travel well. ;oP
I love this fragrance, but I think they should make intense version of it. Davidoff Adventure Deep perhaps.
Nica and sweet, not a million miles away from "Cool Water Deep." You can't do much wrong with it, but here's a warning: It seems as if this one would go bad pretty soon, so beware.
I recently bought this perfume, inspired by its name and its commercial featuring Evan McCregor. I like the fragrance, it is not bad but i would its not unique, it is an everyday perfume, not so uncommon. To me it is very mature sporty woody fragrance can be easily worn by young and middle aged. The sillage is moderate but longevity is not good. It starts with strong spicy notes and quickly drydown to its soft, smooth woody notes. There is not so much transition of notes i felt. Anyhow nice fragrance but nothing particular. I would rate it 6 out of 10.
really nice, underrated fragance on some forums. The fruity-spicy base make it very sexy, versatile and comfortable for any ocasions.. great frag
a very good fragrance! sexy, versatile, sweet, and you can use at all seasons!
This one is a total classic,the smell is very nice and very sexy,i really liked it.
Like many others members of forums about perfumes I found this one extremely similar to D&G The One, besides the launches were at the same time. In spite of that I have to say that Adventure is more fresh and versatile, more fruity, you can use it anytime while I found The One hard to use in hot days.
it smels out of this planet;really HOT:D
exciting, intriguing, nice and sweet, when it dires down it`s like burberry london men HOT
It's one of my all time favourites... It's like I dive into this jungle of adventure, cool heat(really) and deep wood!
EXCELLENT!
really nice, underrated fragance on some forums. The fruity-spicy base make it very sexy, versatile and comfortable for any ocasions.. great frag with a diferent ad.. thumps up !
