Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Adventure Eau de Toilette
Davidoff Adventure is a divisive scent: some find it a delightful, subtle everyday wear that defies its price tag, while others are utterly put off by its perceived linearity and woeful performance. Expect a fresh, spicy ride, but don't count on it lasting the journey.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Icon Elite Eau de Parfum
Dunhill Icon Elite is a divisive woody scent: some find it a sophisticated, underrated gem, while others dismiss it as generic and underwhelming. It's affordable, but its performance is a toss-up - sometimes subtle, sometimes surprisingly long-lasting on clothes.
