Echo

My initial thought when I tried this was just as Odeklotyo remarked, "it's like Hugo" (by Hugo Boss). Comparing them side by side I can see that the fruitiness of the Echo is far greater and to a greater degree reminds me of Crave by Calvin Klein. Hugo's fruitiness subsides much more rapidly whereas the Echo retains it. It has that sort of synthetic "not sure if its orange,lemon, tangerine or melon" kind of fruitiness which is very appealing, but to me really defies adequate description. By the time the fruitiness has subsided and the woods and spices emerge, it is quite close to the skin. Throughout, there is a crispness: a lack of congestion, which means that the elements, while not overpowering, retain their character. It is a polar opposite to something like Yatagan (one of my favourites) where all the smells blend together in an almost miasmal stew. This is one of the best fragrances of its sort I have smelled. Oh, and the bottle is a piece of artwork - surprisingly ergonomic too.

Davidoff's best men fragrance. I do like classic cool water & hot water but this fragrance has it all. It is fresh, very nice to wear but with caracter. Safe enough to be given to every man. Fresh enough for hot days. Good quality to last for hours (spray it on your clothes & chest true your colar) It has enough personality to be worn the whole year true if not liking sweet fragrances. It's hard to find a nice, fresh quality not synthethic fragragrance. Probably the reason why most guys keep on using cool water or stuff like ck one. Fancy a nice smell to be 1 in a million & not 10000000 in a room? Leave ck one & try this fragrance. Davidoff should keep on promoting this one instead of having new fragrances every 6 month the way most brands do nowadays.

Echo is a very nice fresh spicy aquatic with decent projection and longevity. The strongest notes I detect are nutmeg and pepper. The are complimented by more subtle nuances of woody notes (sandalwood and cedar). I don't really pick up much if any of the musk that is listed as one of the notes on this page. For me, I smell a strong resemblance to Nautica Voyage. NV does not list nutmeg as one of it's notes but it has a very similar spiciness to Echo and that is one of the reasons I really LOVE both fragrances. For me Echo is a very uplifting scent and it is one of a select few in my rotation that I can truly say I look forward to wearing the entire day.

This is a phenomenal fragrance and its such a shame that Davidoff discontinued it but still make crap like Cool Water... The opening is very fresh and spicy, almoast citrusy, when it begins to dry down you can smell the chilly pepper and the black peper very intensly and thenit dries down to a spicy musk. This fragrance reminds me of Indian food, and it was actually gifted to me by a girl from that region. :D Its not a fragrance I would want to wear every day, but I wear it on a fresh spring day for example, when I'm feeling energetic and want some spice in my life. :D
