Adventure Eau Fraiche

AEF smells like someone took an empty bottle, sprayed the inside with some incredibly light green fragrance, then poured green water in it. I do not get the point of having a fragrance that lasts less than 3 hours & that you have to really TRY and smell on yourself. I do not want to overpower other people w/my fragrance, but good grief, I’d like to be able to smell it on me w/o awkwardly sniffing my wrists to make sure it’s still on. The notes are so light I don’t even want to bother talking about them. What’s the point? You can’t smell them anyway. Yes, they’re green notes, & that’s all you need to know. Glad I bought a tester of this & not one at regular price. All of this Davidoff Adventure series have awful longevity, so make sure you know that before you decide to buy. I would recommend this flanker the least -- because there’s hardly anything that you’re actually buying. At least the other two have actual fragrance in them. To be fair, this is an eau fraiche - and I have gotten complimented when wearing this. So, what do I know?

Adventure Eau Fraiche has a distinctive top note that is slightly greener and fresher while the original Adventure is slightly warmer and a bit sharp and spicy. However, these two Adventures dry down to the same direction. I prefer Eau Fraiche overall because of its green freshness and a touch of mint. Then I also like the original because of the pimento sharpness. Each of them has its own little character. I like them both. Unfortunately, I have not yet tired Amazonia at this point. I'll soon be ready to complete the whole Adventure line. Report back soon ;)

Very clean and fresh fragrance, perfect for the morning to work.

A spray... a sniff... a powerful blast of citrus that could be mistaken for a nose full of lemonade... a few minutes pass... a sweeter, darker, more masculine scent arises and lingers on the spot--- That is a brief overview of Adventure Eau Fraiche. For the first 5 minutes, the only aroma detectable is citrus. It literally smells like lemonade. It's quite disarming, because not a single other note can be detected above the Orange and Bergamot. And I've worn this several times already. However, the scent DOES mellow out. Very nicely in fact. It takes on a sweeter and masculine nature. The musk, Vetiver and woodsy notes fade into existence after the opening. The drydown is significantly more mature and pleasant. It makes up for the shocking arrival. But, the scent remains fresh and light, no matter what. Despite all that though, the projection is terrible. After an hour, I can't notice it at all. I asked my girlfriend as well, and she couldn't detect anything even up close. Sorrowful that it doesn't last, especially at the part where it achieves likability. Everything considered, nice scent. Not unique but enjoyable. Would be worth it if this fragrance had the strength to hold its ground. Overall rating: 5/10

I don't know why but I think that they might have order too may regular 'Adventure' metal top bottles expecting it would be a huge success and after not being able to sell the lot of them - they just decided to stop producing the juice and use the left over bottles - removing the metal top (to make it look slightly different) and adding a different color juice (green vs orange) with a fragrance only slightly different from the original in hopes of selling to the peeps who really liked the original Adventure ... well, I was one of them ... so they were successful in that regard. It's like an ultra-lite & colder version of an already subtle original ... with added lime, mint and patchouli notes to give it a bit more cool earthiness and edge. This variation is why I like it more than the original - in warmer weather. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.
