Echo Woman

I wore Davidoff Echo on my wedding day. I remember my brother-in-law giving me this and saying “I think this is what a beautiful woman would smell like” I loved it, of course. The bottle matches the scent so much. I kept my bottle for 8 years but by the end the atomizer stopped working, and the scent had changed too. I threw it away without knowing this had been discontinued. When I found out I was devastated. Until three days ago, when I found a BNIB bottle from a supplier that specialises in discontinued perfumes. I nearly cried. I must admit I was skeptical when I first tried it. Would it be the same? Would the magic still be there? It was almost like meeting an ex and wondering if the spark had been truly there or if you’d imagined it all. That first spray made me smile. Oh, but it’s the same. Fresh and girly and floral and everything that’s pretty. There’s nothing edgy about this. This is an aquatic floral that is perfectly balanced by the woods in the drydown. On hindsight this was such a perfect bridal scent. I remember longevity being moderate but this time around I’ll have to see. I also need to take into consideration that the perfume that bloomed in Hanoi winters would not really perform the same way in Singapore summers. And yet, this is such a happy perfume. So elegant. So gorgeous. Such a perfect balance of everything I don’t see anyone not liking it.

This was my favorite perfume so far.. It has an amazing scent, although towards the end of the bottle it smelled more bitter..I had hard time finishing the bottle because of that. The scent is floral, and also has something in it that reminds you of the previous perfume from Davidoff collection- Cool Water..but doesn't smell like it at all..same hint of bitterness to it I guess. Overall, I was satisfied with this perfume, although not thinking of repurchasing yet, looking for something lighter. It lasted pretty long time.

I bought this as a teen when researching perfumes in the early 2000s and reading in Cosmopolitan or some other magazine and it was voted most popular fragrance! I’m glad I still have a bit in the bottle left now. There is nothing quite like this on the market anymore. It’s a cold crisp vodka cocktail scent with a smooth drydown perfect for summer. This got me through many scorching Australian summers smelling fresh and pretty. This is the only fragrance I’ve worn at length without getting a headache.

I'm definetly getting something 'rose-like' as well as a lot of peony from this. There's almost certainly something 'fruity' going on as well. I was thinking a bit like strawberries, but someone else said 'melon' and that could be it too. Is there calone in this? It hits the back of the nose like l'Eau par Kenzo :) It's quite beautiful and I love it.

I bought it from my first salary, back in 2004! And what a blast...I was working as a reporter back then and I was often asked what I was wearing, as people apparently liked the peony and violet notes (these two were the most prominent on me). It wasn't very long-lasting, but it was easily noticeable, without causing headaches to anyone around.
