Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Encre Indigo Eau de Parfum
This one is a divisive gem. You'll either get an "inky masterpiece" or a "dental office scrub" - there's very little middle ground for this unique take on the Encre Noire DNA. Prepare for strong opinions.

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.
