Run Wild

Managed to pick up a 100ml for £12 and thought it was worth a pick up as love the look of the presentation and haven't been disappointed with any davidoff fragrances I've tried. Run Wild is very much an invictus inspired fragrance with a green twist. From the opening it's very much invictus but as it dries you can detect the lavender and ginger giving it a blue vibe for the first 45mins. Once that had passed the tonka and green notes really shine through making it an extremely sexy fragrance for entirety of its wear. Performance hasn't been mind blowing but for the price 6hrs certainly isn't bad and it's gonna get you compliments effortlessly just like invictus. Its versatile like invictus and can be used for any situation and any time of year. I would say its most suited for spring and summer but it can be used just as effectively during the autumn and winter. For the price you certainly can't go wrong if you just want to smell good in all situations and I would definitely recommend this scent.

I almost wrote this fragrance off because of the reviews. Thank god I didn't, because I Love this. I do get the similarities to Invictus, Wanted by night, Dunhill Icon Racing, and YSL Y EDP beacause there is a sweet invigorating fresh opening. That's where the similarities end. This smells like its own blend. In the opening you have a very sweet, bright, refreshing accord which is the combination of Tonka, Lavender, and Ginger. The Fir smell is hiding underneath this sweet accord, highlighting it with a green touch, but this does not smell like Pine at all. I love how they did this, because you pick it up, and it highlights the main scent, but it blends in well. The Cinnamon is very much the same...you can detect it if you are looking, but it blends well into the main accord. If you like Sweet Fresh fragrances you will like this. I love this and Y EDP..Great Fragrance.

The dislike is totally unnecessary, although I'm starting to see that the little delusional niche snobs outnumber those who just want to smell good. Either way ,this is a great frag and I'm glad I went ahead and ignored the fragrance snobs and took a shot on this as I think its excellent, and it doesn't smell like invictus at all . Its refreshing and uplifting ,but its definitely not a clone of any sort . Not only does this smell awesome it performs really well. Anyways I love it, glad I ignored most of the dislike and picked this one up

Underrated spicy, fresh, cinnamon, sweet , woody and vanilla fragrance l. Real good for spring/summer/Autumn. Even though you could wear it in winter. The cinnamon, sweet and woody notes make it wearable on cold winter days. Very versatile. I wear the perfume in the office, gym, date and going out with friends. Last around 7 hours and the prices is cheap.

Very good pleasent scent, love it. Sweet, but fresh and spicy enough for summer. With an Invictus Legend vibe and almost a boozy tone, I find this amazing for summer. Projection is average and longevity is good, gonna buy this for sure after it makes it into discounters.

Cheapie buy from Marshall's today. $16.99 for 50ml and a body wash. It does have that similarity to Invuctus and Wanted, but a slight twist. I like it. If you like Invictus and/or Wanted and want to save $50 give this a shot. :)

Bloody hell,all the negative reviews on the fragrance,I bet majority of these pricks don’t even own a bottle,this is fresh,clean and uplifting..Davidoff always makes great fragrances.

I like this and I think it is underrated. I bought it for £15. It think it is fresh, spiced, sweet and aromatic. Worth a blind buy.

Invictus clone but a little more fresh & less sweet. Like it :)

Invictus has never been on my radar so I don't recall ever smelling it. Now after smelling this (Got it in a trade) I can see how this is a familiar DNA. Now this is something that can easily be dense and cloying, but Run Wild is somehow light and airy while still being sweet. It is a fresh fragrance that is sweet, like bubblegum sweet, and hangs in the air nicely around you in a nice bubble. On a warm day, the scent really does work. It has a freshness and a lightness to it that does not make it cloying. Can work all year round I think. It's better than a blue scent because it doesn't have a persistent ambroxan note. The ginger is there and just gives its a nice warm spicy feel while still feeling fresh, airy, clean, and pleasant. There is a piney feel too it, giving it an almost woody base. The Fir and Ginger really mix well to my nose. You can overspray this and you won't offend. Obviously don't spray too much, but a trigger happy newbie won't choke anyone out. It's a pleasant smell that doesn't have too much density but it does project fairly nicely. The atomizer doesn't spray a lot anyway, so you may need a few extra sprays. Not groundbreaking, nothing insanely special, but I recommend it if you see it for a good price. It's a nice fragrance for the collection, and easy dumb reach, but can also probably garner compliments. Does not smell synthetic .

“Mmm I can definitely smell that cinnamon and fir resin when I wear this” - Nobody. Literally nobody. This scent is youthful and (so, so) sweet. It’s not a bad scent but... Here’s their deal: there are others in this fragrance family that are better balanced. In this one Davidoff allows the sweetness to “run wild”- if you will. It’s got other things going on but you’re gonna have to get passed the sweetness. Some will and love it and some won’t.... It’s a good performer though. And I blind bought a 100ml bottle for maybe $20. Can’t complain about any of that. It’s also a clean scent and you could wear this to work, school or outdoors. Definitely leans 25 and younger to me. I can understand why someone would like this. Just spray carefully when wearing. Otherwise someone (including yourself) will either get a cavity or headache. SYL

Run Wild is an aromatic and spicy fragrance. It has a sweet, bubblegum-like opening, very much in the style of some modern fragrances. Minutes later a very aromatic lavender is perceived with some spicy elements such as cinnamon or anise. The base of the perfume has sweet elements of tonka bean, but also contains some fruity and fresh accords. This fragrance is versatile, as it contains fresh and spicy features, to be used at any time of the year. Run Wild is Davidoff's answer to fragrances like Paco Rabanne's Invictus, Azzaro Wanted, or Coach for Men, because its scent is modern, and it's a new release out of the long line of Cool Water flankers. Its longevity is between 5 or 6 hrs, with good sillage only the first hour. The bottle is simple, but pretty and like most Davidoff fragrances its price is very affordable.

I feel a lot of the hate and downvoting is unnecessary for with this fragrance. Yes, it does smell a lot like Invictus (moreso when it has dried down) - which can be a good or bad thing. Good because it means if you like wearing Invictus, this will be more affordable if you're on a budget. Bad, well, because it's virtually a clone. You can mistake it for Invictus until you know it's not, then you can pick out the difference. It lasts quite well (I've had it on for about 10 hours now and can still just about smell it), sillage is reasonable as well. The price will be its advantage - in the UK this is around £30 to £35 for a 50ml bottle, the equivalent for Invictus is around £55.

Be careful with the sprays! I was in a car with this on and the entire car smelled like me. This was a solid 5 hours after my last application by the way. All in all, it's an amazing cheap alternative for PR Invictus or Azzaro Wanted. Very similar smell and great performance. The bubblegum sweetness is there, and the performance is great on me. Of course, get Invictus or Wanted if you could afford it, but if you're on a budget, this is one of the best clones out there.

Hard to describe, really. It is similar to Invictus. Like a sweet smelling soap. I can't decide whether that's good or bad. Sometimes I smell it and am taken by how 'clean' it smells. Sometimes I smell it and find it too sweet smelling. I think it would be perfect if it were just ever so slightly less sweet smelling. All of that said, longetivity and sillage on this one is off the charts for Davidoff.

Well to me it's another YSL Y Live/Born in Roma/Bois De Yuzu clone. Boring air freshener smell to my nose. This one has a slightly greener, fresher and less abrasive opening but it dries down to the same thing again. Edit: I tried it on fabric and it was better, the performance improved and the smell stayed more closer to its initial spray smell. Improved to a like from ok. Still a clone though.

Very similar lavender note to legend spirit, but this one is more subtle, has nicely blended spiciness from ginger and cinnamon. I don't find it so sweet as invictus line or azzaro wanted , yet i get the comparisons. Later the fir resin gives freshly green, light woody aroma, when tonka keeps it very pleasant and on the soft side. Deserves more attention from fragrance community. 8/10 overall.

This smells like it would come in a YSL Y bottle in the shade of green that Run Wild actually is. It smells like a green flanker to the Y Line. Super fresh with sweetness but instead of that ambroxen blue smell you get the fresh green with the sweetness. People smell this on you from feet away even if you don't smell it anymore.

This does have a little of that Invictus vibe in the beginning but not as potent or sweet. Run Wild is lighter, fresher and can be worn in the hot weather unlike Invictus where it can become cloying. Overall, Run Wild is a modern, casual and playful scent.

After sample it more times i actually like it, the opening is very addicting, i recomend using this casual and office, this also have good performance on my skin, plus is a cheapie, go and grab it, no regrets with this one
