Davidoff Silver Shadow is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Calice Becker. Silver Shadow opens with Bitter Orange, Cedar, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Clove, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Amber, Oakmoss, Cinnamon, and Benzoin. Davidoff's Silver Shadow carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Davidoff Silver Shadow treads a classy line, balancing warm spices and subtle sweetness with a touch of mature masculinity. While some find it a bit too 'old man juice' or lacking in projection, others adore its elegant blend, making it a nuanced choice for those who appreciate understated sophistication.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a sophisticated bitterness of orange, quickly spiced by coriander and a dry cedar. The heart introduces a rich, warm blend of saffron and clove, softened by earthy patchouli. It settles into a luxurious base of amber and benzoin, with hints of oakmoss and a comforting whisper of cinnamon, creating a smooth and subtly sweet aromatic dry-down.
