Champion Davidoff for men

i just bought it coz i like the smell. it is not too strong and i think it suits me. the longevity is ok too but it wont be on my top list.i'm still finding the best cologne out there. it's too hard to decide.

to me this smells so sexy!

So much bad review here about Champion, i wonder why? i find it very pleasant, yeah it's not original, but it's still good, i love it :) I like the idea of the bottle, very unique, but i hate it why it's very thin? why it made from plastic? it would be perfect if it was made by steel.

i smelled this a while back and got a chance to do so again recently i still dont know what to think about it. it is very synthetic , no question about that but at the same time it was enjoyable very woodsy and sweet, o stang power like cool water but i guess it is an enjoyable blah frag, nothing really special about it other than the bottle that even though most say it's ugly i argue that it was an original design , but still i would say this is a TRY (projection and longevity are ok, not GREAT but they last about 4 hours)

As a girl writing this review, I can't stop laughing at the design. I know it's supposed to resemble a dumbbell, but it looks more like the shake weight. Lol I'm sorry dudes! :)

This is just o.k. Im not really impress with this. I prefer Chanel Allure Home Sport for Men when it comes to gym or any other fitness activity. The smells is recognizable and x has so much "WOW" factor..

Not worth the price and its name. Very simple masculine perfume, just like any other sports perfume from any very cheap perfume brand. Thumbs down for Davidoff. David did it off :)

Whats up dude, are you going to the gym?!I see you have a tag in your in hands of.Is not, this is perfume, does not break dude!?Oo, dear, another failed attempt, called perfume!In passing, bottle is almost the copy of Enrico Coveri M106,very similar.Davidoff, better get back making cigarettes, only ruined his brilliant history of perfume!

عطر خوشبوئیست.بوی لیموی آن احساس تازه گی و نسیم دلنشین بهاری را تداعی میکند

Won't win points for originality, but starts out fresh and sporty, then gets warmer and woodier. I actually like it.

The very unfavorable rating the Champion is getting on here made me expect something worse/cheaper/more offensive smelling. Maybe it's just too mainstream for die-hard fragrance lovers?

It took me awhile to get over how corny and silly the bottle design was. Did they really have to shape it like a dumbbell to make men feel masculine owning a bottle of this fragrance? The last reference I'll make to this bottle is that Champion would go well with the sweaty workout that is, lifting dumbbells.

The scent is refreshing to say the least. Not groundbreaking, but pleasant nonetheless. It's mostly a linear compsoition of green citrus and musky cedarwood. To be honest, many male deoderants smell this good and for a lot cheaper too.

Champion has good projection and longevity, especially for that of a sport fragrance. I understand that men are probably more conscious of the way they smell after a gym session, but coming from the experience of a woman that loves perfume, dousing onself in perfume is not going to get rid of that odor. Shower instead and then apply Davidoff Champion.

I don't doubt that this fragrance will be a hit with the ladies, as a female I like it, but as a critic, my nose finds it lacking in character. I like the woodsy aspect, however I find the citruses a bit sharp and nauseating over time. I would recommend this fragrance for Spring and mild Summer weather.

the after shave from this perfume ((for me)) it's so much nicer than the perfume!!!!

I didn't like this perfume to be honest!!

it's too heavy on my nose as those dambils !!

espically

A classic brand with a maverick variant name! But isn't a "Champion" meant to have a great projection and redefine the parameters of longevity? Ah tragic, such disappointment!

It baffles me that it's listed here as a woody aromatic fragrance especially with such metallic, sharp and bitter citrus opening notes that continue to dominate till the fragrance fades away completely.

I hope the creative heads realize that we don't need a dumbbell shaped flanker in our wardrobe to endorse or reinforce our masculinity.

Thankfully, I only had a sample of this which I got along with my last purchase.

Before buy, I was reading a lot of negative reviews here and basenotes about this scent. Despite bad reviews I decided to try Champion. Maybe something wrong with me, but I've found it has have "something" pleasanr what makes me fresh and happy. I like very subtle middle notes. On my skin this fragrance lasts about 5-8 hours. It's one of the best spring/summer scents I have.

A cheap version of Platinum Egoiste in a horrible bottle!

A perfect fragrance if you do your workout routines with plastic dumbells! Cheap!

Rating: 2/10

Where are those perfect classical Davidoff perfumes?
I just remember Zino, Relax and Cool Water; can't compare to.
This is one of the worst and ugliest bottles I've ever seen.
Even if I being threaten by a gun on my temple, I won't buy it, prefer to die!

Whoever made (or marketed) this useless, bland, anonymous rubbish should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves... unless, of course, they were frog-marched into a lab by Davidoff officials and ordered to come up with blandest thing imaginable (at gunpoint).

Champion starts really generic, just like a lot of other newly introduced men’s perfumes; it is fresh, with a little bit aquatic hint, somewhat like a combo of Gucci by Gucci and In2U Him by CK. It’s not a promising start at all.

However, 5 minutes later, it starts to develop a little bit more; I can smell slightly herbal infused cool citrusy and sweetness. It is masculine in the nowadays’ commercial way. When you let it develop for long enough, it actually doesn’t smell too bad, somewhat it’s like a watered-down version of the combination of Hugo Boss Orange for the orange-y cinnamon-y smell plus something like a totally muted Tom Ford’s Tobacco Vanilla, for the slightly cigarette infused tamed vanilla smell.

Champion actually develops into somewhat a pleasant, warm, but not oriental-spice-market warm, nice buoyancy in-between the sophisticated and playful typical men’s perfume these days. Somehow it evokes a mental image of a clean nice guy wearing a blue shirts on his way to work, ironic enough, the advertisement here is on the full-on focus of muscles and stuff.

Nice surprise, even if you are not a fan of the sports perfumes, the sporty part of Champion only stays for like 2 minutes. Worth trying! However, the bottle is just a bit tacky. :-S

Its nice, comfortable, manly, versatile.. i like because i find some relation to the Eau de Rochas, one of my first fragances in my life, BUT is a watery version, light and shy in some way. Longevity & sillage could be much better and Champion could be in a great place, anyway have to try it again because in mind is just a light version of a masterpiece.

terrible.. smells extremely cheap..

Champion by Davidoff is quite ordinary sporty fragrance categorized as spicy/aromatic. Nothing extraordinary except the bottle. i am very disappointed, i didn't like the fragrance at all. Average projection and below average longevity. It is definitely not worthwhile for me. I DON'T recommend it.
4.5 out of 10.

I had tried to ignore this release due to the tacky bottle and weak offerings from Davidoff. when i did try it i was shocked to find it vaguely along the lines of Chanel platinum egoiste in its sour musky structure (please dont think that i am comparing the two quality-wise). If Davidoff had chosen a better bottle then i think this would have been a success.

Sour citrus opening (bergamot & lime), a pretty sporty fragrance, after 10 minutes the aromatic sage & resin combo faintly rises in, just to let you know they are also there.

In 2 hrs, all you left is a sourish fresh woody smell (oakmoss for sure, not much cedar there).

Nice bottle for a shelf but not so nice content for a frag collector. I'll pass it by, thanks. My rank 6.5/10.

Thankfully i recieved the smaller 50ml version as a gift, the scent starts off quite nice, but after about 5 minutes after one spray, the smell is completely gone. you would have to bathe in the stuff just to make it last for 1 hour

I've got to also agree with one of the commenters (bwcw81). Davidoff Champion doesn't last. After 3-4 hours you can barely get a whiff of it.

Cool Water was my all time favourite. But after quite a few years, I was looking for a change (but still not wanting to stray too far from my fave Cool Water).

Trying out Davidoff's Champion. Was initially undecided whether I liked it or not. But after a few days, I am now starting to really like this. The top notes are nice and fresh (bergamot and lemon), and the heart note (Persian galbanum and clary sage) is starting to grow on me. It mellows to a nice woody like fragrance (cedarwood, oak moss), masculine without being overpowering.

Not bad, nice original bottle. Citrus with a soft woody drydown which is ok but not outstanding, I like Davidoff fragrances a lot but you should try Echo, and you'll probably like it more than this one at a less expensive price.

Surprised how some of us could name this just fresh and uninteresting. Champion has a classy masculine vibe, that reminds of Chanel Egoiste Platinum a lot. Strong and invigorating fragrance that can be named modern chypre, but not aquatic or something else.

Finally I have tried the scent today. Was a little disappointed for this, as I was expecting something ground breaking from Davidoff, the longevity is truly bad - mind you that this is a typical sport fragrance.

The first notes is the most catchy and nice one! Strong citrus scent with hints of strong woody scent, by far this is one of the best first notes I've tried. Minutes later, stronger woody scent with hint of floral keep you awake and it is not bad scent. The last note is a very mild cedar scent, the longevity truly bad - 3 hours max on me. The projection is poor except for the first notes!

Overall, this is not something that truly match the name Champion, it is an ordinary casual scent that wake you up for a moment, minutes later, you might forget about the scent. I will give 5/10 for this.

I wonder if anyone will bring this funny looking bottle along to the gym or not. :)

Update: The 30ml bottle is cute and really collectible! Thumbs up for this design!

HAve to agree with EVERYONE so far lol
When i saw the bottle i thought yep, another Hummer type concept, it's supposed to be butch and empowering, it just feels like a ploy for popularity amongst teenagers.
Dont get me wrong, it smelt nice enough, but how nice?
Not nice enough that I :
-would pay AU$89 for it.
-would feel sorry for anybody who pays for it.

Seems the bottle has ruined it before anyone got to smell it.

Oh yes Davidoff! Bless us with a Pisa tower-shaped bottle next time and call it "Italy". Simply appalling both concept and bottle.

For me this scent is very simillar to gucci by gucci pour homme. Pleasant fragrance but nothing speciall and ground-breaking. It really fits to nowadays mainstream men's perfume.

Chanel Blue vs. Davidoff Champion; which respected perfumebrand makes the cheapest fragrance of 2010. Champion lives up to its name. It starts of sour and stays that way to the drydown. I don't want to use the A-word but it's tempting. If you're a Davidoff fan, I recommend to try before you buy.

Irrespective of the style of advertising campaign, the bottle shape or colour, the intended target market, the name, or even the house a fragrance comes from, ultimately I judge a fragrance based on what it actually smells like.

As I have mentioned in previous reviews, Davidoff are very hit & miss with me; but their hits (Zino & Relax) are at the top of my all time favourite fragrances. As such, I was highly anticipating this one. I liked the idea of a woody aromatic combined with a heavy opening dose of citrus.

In reality, for me Davidoff Champion falls somewhere in between hit & miss. It's certainly a pleasant enough combination of notes, but it doesn't really grab me as something outstanding.

The strong citrus opening is neither too sweet nor too sour. Although these notes are listed as bergamot & lemon, to my nose I swear I could smell a very distinct lime note, rather than lemon. This citrus hangs around for quite a decent amount of time before the rather earthy mid and base notes kick in. Unfortunately, these base notes are just a bit tame for me and don't really stand out enough to distract from the ever present citrus. 4 hours after application, the citrus top still outshines the woody base.

Sillage & longevity both seem to be no more than average for me. Overall, I'd probably give this one a 6/10.

Before made any comment, I must apologice for my bad english grammar.
Having say that, I’ll write about my impressions about the new men release from Davidoff.
I have to say two things: I like this frag, but on the other hand I don’t find this as innovative.
Smelling it you’ll find some similarities with Eau de Rochas for men.
The new release from Davidoff is less complex than Rochas, without the floral and vetiver facets.
Instead of it, Champion empower the oakmoss facet offered in a faint mode by Eau de Rochas, making the citrusy start stay so long in time and giving a strong masculine character as well as vintage frags.
I think that the innovation about this stuff after the IFRA restrictions is maintaining the oakmoss accord using new aromachemicals.

I agree that is simmilar to the Bottle of Biotherm Homme. The fragrance remember a little of the firs coll water.
