Echo
Echo by Davidoff is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2003 in the designer price tier. It opens with black pepper, paprika and aldehydes, moves into nutmeg and suede and dries down to musk, cedarwood and sandalwood. Expect around 5 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Paprika Warm, dusty red spice. Adds heat without sharpness.
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
Heart
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.
Dry-down
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
