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

MUCH THANKS @FOREIGN SHORES!!! I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY BUT FROM SPRAY TO DRY TO END..THEY ARE LETS SAY 85PCT SIMILAR...I FAILED TO MENTION THE WOODY/SUEDISH/LEATHER/MUSKYISH BACKROUND IN THE ECHO.BUT U R MOST DEF RIGHT ABOUT THAT..THATS KINDA THE STEP UP IN PRICE DIFF BETWEEN THE BOTH..THAT 5 TO 7 DOLLARS MORE THE ECHO COSTS ON AVG IS WHAT SEPERATES THE TWO IN QUALITY..BUT IM NOT A SNOB..LOL...BUT DAMN IF THEY DONT SMELL ALMOST..THE SAME..!!! THANKS FOR THE EXCELLENT OBSERVATION @FOREIGN SHORES!!! IM CHECKIN IN TO THE FRAGRANCE CRISIS REHAB CENTER...LATER PAL!!! THANKS..

Echo is back! And the reformulation is as close to the original as ever except for longevity problems. The original would last all day. Sillage is still the same which is great. Clean and aquatic (yet almost fruity-like) with a hint of unoffensive (sometimes unregistered) spicy notes. Definitely a compliment getter but not from guys in my experience. Some women I know have said they bought it for their partners just because they smelt it on me. 8/10 scent 6/10 longevity (Were once it was a solid 8.) 7/10 Sillage

JUST BY COINCIDENCE...SAW THIS FORGOTTEN MINION SITTING THERE AND THOUGHT...LET ME TRY YOU/SPRAY YOU ON ME AGAIN...INSTANTANEOUSLY REALIZED...THIS IS ALMOST...A DEAD RINGER FOR CURVE WAVE!! WHICH I BEEN RECENTLY SPRAYING AROUND LIKE THE ODOR FIEND THAT IVE BECOME..IN SHORT..THEY ARE ALMOST IDENTICAL...PLS LET ME KNOW IF IM EVEN CLOSE..TO THOSE WHO OWN BOTH,,AND TOGETHER...WOW...PURE MARRIAGE OF 2 DECENT SCENTS...THE DAVIDOFF..8.2/10.....LET ME KNOW IF MY NOSE IS STILL WORKING ACCURATELY.LOL..MMMM

This is kinda underrated and it has a deeper seductive smell to it, the only way to tell if it is good or not however is to see how it works on you cuz it may smell good on me and make u smell like windex This is definately one of the seductive and unique scents out there and definately worth a try

I recommend this perfume if you want something different from the other guy. A simply cool perfect smell, smart and a little bit luxury with suede. I love this bottle it's so chic and absolutely love this scent. I'll buy it again. 9/10

d best of davidoff, very gentle n smooth... long lasting, no need to reapply ... i have 3 bottles of echo, one for daily use, one for collection n one is already empty..hahahha ...love it so much...!! ^^,

I believe this is discontinued. I bought this a LONG time ago and remember really liking it. I wasn’t a fragrance connoisseur by any means and still not, but I do remember really liking this.

definately a sexy scent for a man just as sexy as the men in its advertisements defintately edgy and women love it

Cool metallic spicy which still is so fragrant.It's one of my fav in summer.typical fresh scent.

Whoa – a blast from the early 2000s. Davidoff’s Echo is a pleasant fragrance that leaves the wearer with an “outdoorsy fresh” feeling most of the day. The bottle I have is probably 10 years old and the original formulation. While I can’t quite “put my finger on” the exact notes, the composition of herbal, musk, sandalwood, and suede notes is unique, pleasant, and easy on the nose. I have been smelling the air around me all day!! Performance thus far has been spectacular – lasting 7+ hours already and greater than arm’s length projection. Given the note composition, I agree with most reviewers that Echo is primarily a Spring and Summer fragrance. I would further add that Echo is geared for casual environments. True – I wore it in the office today, which has been fine, but if you have close contact and Echo goes into “beast mode” projection, there could be issues. Later reformulated bottles, should be fine for the office. The bottle and presentation look great, but the bottle can be cumbersome to spray. In addition to being a pleasant scent, Echo is readily available at most discount retail stores at a fair price. All said – my final tally for Davidoff’s Echo is 4.0 stars out of 5 stars. It is unique and I like the way it smells. The issue is – I have other fragrances that get the “love” label association. If you want something a little different without breaking the bank, Echo may be for you. Enjoy your day and happy fragrance hunting.

I really enjoy my bottle of Davidoff's Echo. It's a fresh, clean linen scent that has that "just after the shower", soapy type feel to it. It's not overly citrusy, but rather just a clean/fresh scent. It does have prominent background notes of metal and pepper that kind of float behind the clean scent to give it a bit of spice in the background. This one reminds me a lot of one of my all time favorites (Boss Pure by Hugo Boss). If you like it, chances are you will enjoy Echo. The biggest difference is Boss Pure is more linear and purely fresh, while Echo has these same qualities, with a sharper pepper and metal note floating in the background to give it a bit of a kick or spice. I'm pretty sure Davidoff discontinued Echo this past year, but it's still available and I definitely recommend it if you like fresh, clean, synthetic type scents. (I got an unbelievable deal on this one at Ross's; $8 for 100 mil. It had been marked down 3 times).

Middle aged men? I don't thinkl so. This fragrance has a youthful vibe. The smell is synthetic at the beginning, but that's the purpose because it's inspired on the environment in big cities, when you walk among tall crystal buildings and the metal structures inside them and the wind blows thorugh the streets. Fresh, kind of aquatic, but I'd say it's more airy. The fragrance is very appealing, even when some could hate it because of its artificial nature. The longevity is outstanding; I sprayed a little on my left wrist two nights ago before I went to bed and it was still there yesterday morning, and stayed after I did laundry and put my hands in soapy water in the washer, then the softener and the echo of the fragrance was still there, unbeatable. Lucky me that I could find it two days ago at an awesome price. I really like this fragrance.

$16 blind buy at TJ Maxx for 3.4 oz, because Davidoff. I'm not much for summer scents or aquatics, but I'm trying to add to my collection in that regard since I have many and more fall/winter frags. This smells decent. Clean and fresh, a bit sweet and metallic, with some pepper/spice in the background. I'm enjoying the drydown more than any other aspect. I'm not overly impressed, and it's my least favorite from the house so far, but for $16 it's a welcome addition to the arsenal and fills a spot I was lacking. It'll also allow me to use it as filler on hot humid days instead of wasting my precious Varvatos Artisan Acqua (which I adore in hot weather but does not seem to last long).

This Echo starts out fresh and sweet with watery aquatic feel. Then it quickly becomes peppery spicy with metallic sharpness! It's not exactly calm and pleasant (a bit disturbing) but it gives the scent crisp and clean feeling. The scent gets louder and drier as I have it on and eventually fades away without any trace. I get about 4-6 hrs and it's decent for me. I have it and not sure if I would purchase it again. I don't care for the sharpness in here but then if it's not in the scent, then it becomes quite ordinary. I guess I will stick with Adventure or Cool/Hot Water lines.

I think before even giving my opinion on the frag itself, I think it's very important to mention the notes given are wildly misleading. Echo kicks off with an aquatic burst, with very subtle floral notes. Much like the more famous Cool Water, Echo has a very synthetic feel at first But given time it does becomes fresh and almost metallic with a pleasant powdery undertone. If you're a fan of aquatic fragrances then this is well worth looking at, if (like myself) you are not then let it pass you by.

I'm contemplating getting this again, it seems very aquatic, even though it's spices and woods. The musk seems to compliment the other noes rather than hold them up, and the chilli is less than subtle, its almost not there, but if you really think and search it's there. I get the feeling there is a fruit note in there somewhere. It retails in Aus around the $40 mark nowadays so worth reapplying throughout the day.

Fresh opening but the drydown becomes soapy, synthetic, and sometimes detergent. Not really a unique smell but this scent has been pretty useful to me especially under the scorching heat of the desert sun. My bottle is almost running out of juice but I think I am not looking for a resupply. I believe there are better fragrances more suitable with my current climate. Overall rating is 7/10

@angelo..zucchinni I definitely understand your comparison between this and Curve Wave. I agree that they are similar, although I feel the suede come out in the base of Echo which to me gives it more depth. Wave finishes off quite sweet, but is equally good in its own right. Considering they're available for less than $20 USD, you can't go wrong owning both of them :-)

Echo is a sweet and artificial smelling fragrance with an almost metalic note to it. Great for keeping fresh in the summer or just for day to day office wear. I would recommend it purely for the bottle itself which is clean, crisp and modern just like the juice it contains. I can't imagine that Echo is to everyones taste though, so be sure to try before you buy.

I like the bottle, but smells too acid, a lot of lemon, very citric. The best perfume for men by Davidoff is Cool Water Game. I recognize this is not a bad parfum at all. There's some steel note similar to DKNY man in a way... reminds me of rain, but doesn't smell like wet earth, i mean, it's like water falling down on oranges trees. A nice different one.

Fresh summer fragrance. I can smell mint, patchouli and Turkish rose notes.... well mixed And absorbs bees عطری شیک مخصوص تابستان بهار . اگرچه در اینجا گفته نشده اما من بوی نعناع، نعناع هندی و کمی گل رز (محمدی)رو می‌توانم استشمام کنم. . زیاد زنبور جذب می‌کنه. عطر نازیه

Echo is a very well-blended fruity scent which does not develop much in its drydown process. The flanker looks very eye-catching. This is good in a way that it is refreshing throughout the day you are wearing with little change. Cheers,

This cologne is a definitely a love or hate. I like it a lot pure aquatic to me but the initial is a metallic note. Found this for 10 bucks. Will keep in the rotation.

to me, this smells exactly like Nautica Competition (yellow bottle). It lasts a bit longer and the dry down is more woody but the nutmeg overpowers. It's ok though.

nice Parfum ! frish spicy and woody fragrance! I like it so much in the summer & spring . good longevity & sillage

This male perfume smells ever so good, I proably must decide to wear it myself, even though I'm a woman =))

Clean and fresh, slight soapy/metal tint to it. Finishes later with a slightly sweet citrus edge.

Perfect for Work and Casual Wearing, Moderate Longevity & Sillage

The only reason I would ever buy this is for the marvellously sculptured bottle. IMAO the watery-peppery-suedy fragrance it contains although certainly not unpleasant to my nose, is far too anonymous and safe to merit any serious consideration given the legions of more interesting aquatics out there. I feel it might appeal to those who are fixated on satin chrome and brushed metal fittings; Potsdamer Platz/Canary Wharf urban style; Audi TTs; etc. I'm also tempted to say it's for boring "Ken Barlow" types only - although I can also see how its clean, safe and androgynous smell might attract certain types of women who value those traits in their men; or it might work as a rather bland office or daytime fragrance in summer. Its smell reminds me loads of Hugo which ironically I do like (go figure!) - but it's still not a safe blind buy IMO. Lanvin Oxygene For Men is similar in concept but a superior (edgier) choice as an urban aquatic.

This one starts off synthetic/detergent from the beginning and just never recovers. No place for this in my rotation as the synthetic detergent scent just kills it. 4.5 out of 10. It is rather light, but then again so are 2000 other designer colognes out on the market today. This one is a complete pass, cool water, and cool water freeze arebetter quality scents than echo. I'm not saying this is the same scent, but it does have the same synthetic vibe as Drakkar Essence, and is somewhat similar.

Loewengel is right, this one's for the kids. When your nose has been assaulted 40 plus years by paint fumes, tobacco smoke, etc. you don't reach for something this light when you want to smell yourself smelling good. To me, this had a melon scent, as I recall. I haven't worn this since about 2005, so I may remember incorrectly.

Was gifted by parents when I had asked for Hugo Boss XY at the time it got released. But, as they found this for a knock off price, it is what they settled on. It gave me a headache or some sort of echoing in my head everytime I wore this and remains the only bottle I've given away.

عطر خيلي دوست داشتني و به ياد موندني اي هست.به نظر من بوي خيلي جوانانه اي داره.بيشتر از هر چيز بوي پرتغال،نارنگي و كمي ليمو رو داره،كلا عطر ترشي هست اما در عين حال خيلي تازه و شيك.اغلب افراد واقعا خوششون مياد.متاسفانه ماندگاريش زياد نيست با اين حال بوي واقعا دوست داشتني اي داره.

If you're curious about this one, buy a nice, fresh honeydew melon. Take it home and slice it open. That's EXACTLY what it smells like. You've just satisfied your curiosity and saved yourself about $40. Better yet, you now have a snack.

It`s very difficult for my evaluate this fragance, it,s to hard for my, spicy ford the fidrt, and them amaderade, i dont knoow, i generally ilike davidoff`s parfums, but this is the exception that confirm the rule

This is the worst fragrance that i have ever smelled. Nothing natural about it just Synthetic! What a joke! Rating 0/10

This is waterly fragrances. No feel woody & warm spicy.

This cologne is nothing like water

This is a fragrance that I admire for one distinct reason: the notes seem suspended in a substrate of air. The spicy notes of chili, nutmeg, cedar, musk and sandalwood seem to float in the fictional airy-metallic-white suede. Echo is completely synthetic in nature, but, nonetheless, excellently executed. I do not categorize this as a traditional aquatic or a sporty scent, but something in its own genre. When male customers ask for something that is both light and spicy, I head them in this direction. There are numerous options for women in this category, but most men's "airy" scents are marine or herb based, not spicy. Think of having a spice-infused vodka martini. There is no warmth whatsoever in this fragrance. Personally, I find Echo too synthetic for me (or hubby). I prefer something with a more natural, resinous base that wears a bit closer to the skin- I don't like to smell a man's cologne before seeing him turn the corner. Here, the aldehydes are not obvious, but are integral to the nature of the scent by acting to lift the spices out and off the skin, and to create an effusive (if short lived-) sillage.

I won't bash Echo for its apparent lack of originality, because it was, for me at least, such a pleasant and comforting scent for as long as I've been wearing it. As a matter of fact, Echo (as regards the contents of the bottle) is not innovative in any way. It is rather a twist on a popular, well-known theme, but a good one. When I first smelled it, I immediately thought it had a notable similarity to the original "Hugo" (the one in the hip flask) which I used to like, but then it transformed into something completely different, less bubblegummish. It began to show more sophistication and maturity as it evolved on skin. The scent is exactly as described: a fresh, metallic-ozonic spice and aldehyde note which is maintained throughout but slowly fades into a more mellow wood, suede, soapy base. To me it kinda smells like a new suede jacket... Or the interior of a new car... ;) It radiates a flair of cleanness, or sterility, if you like. It is understated and wearable in any occasion, formal or informal, that I can think of. And yeah, the bottle is a nice piece of urban architecture...

I own this now. I confess I bought it because of the bottle. It’s always looked amazing to me. I got a great deal on it and I scooped it up. So now I own it... Yay?!? Well... about that bottle- the design to be specific. If you don’t own this just look at the pictures. See how the atomizer is on the side? Now ask yourself this question: Do you spray your fragrances with the bottle in your left hand or right hand? Do you spray with either hand? This may be trivial to everyone on here because I never gave it much thought before I owned this bottle but I spray usually with the bottle in my left hand. Which means for me to use this with my left hand I have to spray the bottle with my thumb. And that feels so awkward. Almost as awkward as having the bottle in my right hand. So while I haven’t come to any conclusion yet on the fragrance I already have an opinion on the bottle: it looks great when I’m not holding it. But when I pick it up and try to use it I look like I’ve never held a cologne bottle before. SYL

I'm aware that Davidoff has discontinued Echo. I found this little gem via online shopping. I used to have the miniature version of it in 2008. Hmmm I really like Echo. It does smells synthetic, aquatic fresh yet spicy. But it's better than Nautica Voyage, Boss Element, Azzaro Chrome, FCUK Him. I live in a hot humid tropical country, so this stuff is great here. Longevity wise, on skin, it is a bit weak. By noon it has become a skin scent. However, if you sprayed on your shirt, it smells better and longer too. By 6pm, I can still smell it on my shirt and occassionally I can still smell it when the wind blows. The bottle is gorgeous, but the nozzle spray is positioned in a not practical position. Yeah, definitely I will buy a second bottle once this one finishes. I might also buy a mini version to accompany me where ever I go.

I haven't reached for this in ages with so many other in my arsenal..much less what rotation allows; it's best in spring/summer. Clean and inoffensive enough for any season though. But omg the cedar note in this dominates very appealing and strong. I remember THE last time I wore this summer ago, and happened to hit the gas station after it dried down. Went in to buy a soda and this stuff was radiating super crazy!! I knew it was me and not the Apoo at the counter listening to his wailing telecast as we were the only ones inside the shop LOL! Similar frags I reach for in the same vein would include.. Curve, Mambo, Soul, Bora Bora , or similar Claiborne flankers..fresh/soapy clean. But this is definitely a cut above! Prices these days make it a steal. All day longevity on my skin. 9/10

Echo by Davidoff 6/10 Longevity - is moderate, i could smell hints of it on my shirt the next morning. Sillage - i find it very weak to medium, myself naturally lacks to radiate perfume so i did work against it, however i still knew that it wasn't a strong radiating perfume with good projection. Its not a sophisticated perfume, its more simpler and rejuvenating, its uplifting but the only downfall is that it is weak. It similar to a nautica competition bottle i purchased that comes in a bright yellow bottle. the Echo is more desirable over this though. its not a bad perfume for a beginner or a blind buy, definitely wouldn't be upset with it or want to return it in any shape of form, however there is a lot better out there.

The notes in description and reviews are misleading.Also,this fragrance is not for middle-aged men...Not sure where this description came from?! Actually,this fragrance is targeted for younger men,woodsy notes are almost undetectable,it gives a vibe of a sweet citrusy scent with some metallic background and dries down to a fruity scent that is very close to the skin.Great bottle and presentation, but the scent itself is very light,forgettable and probably would be a good choice for office during summer days;I had few comments from coworkers that the scent reminds of "glide ", air freshener , and I totally agreed. 3/5.highest price shouldn't exceed $15

This is actually more natural smelling than I thought it would be, and quite pleasant (fruity/spicy/woody). It doesn't have much depth, richness, or complexity, but apparently it was made for casual warm weather use. Over time it gets woodier and drier. Not for the aficionado, obviously, but solid for what it is. Longevity is fine and projection ("sillage") isn't bad either. I think I prefer something like Burberry's Sport Ice for Men under circumstances that I would consider wearing this one, as it's more interesting to me and more unique in general.
