DAVIDOFF Agar Blend is the second
opus of DAVIDOFF Blend Collection, a new line of perfumes directly
inspired by the life and values of the company’s founder. Zino DAVIDOFF
spent most of his existence exploring the world, looking for the finest
materials and the most talented artisans. His dedication to refinement
and quality is perfectly reflected by DAVIDOFF’s motto: passion for
excellence, pleasure in life.
The DAVIDOFF Blend line, DAVIDOFF’s first collection, pays tribute to
this vision.
Each fragrance is carefully designed around a specific note
sublimated by a careful selection of extremely qualitative and refined
ingredients. The elegant sobriety of the bottle offers a perfect
counterpoint to this sophisticated alchemy. True to this philosophy and
following first fragrance, DAVIDOFF Leather Blend, the new DAVIDOFF Agar Blend combines the brand’s savoir-faire and one of the most sought-after and luxurious substances from the Orient: oud wood.
DAVIDOFF Agar Blend was designed for connoisseurs who fully
appreciate the importance and rarity of true distinction. They seek only
the most exclusive materials and skilled workmanship. His sense of
taste and style earns him respect and admiration while his unassuming
self-confidence makes him irresistibly seductive.
Master perfumer Alienor Massenet (IFF) conceived DAVIDOFF Agar Blend
as a bridge between the Western and Eastern cultures. To illustrate it,
she imagined a rich and terribly addictive oriental woody fragrance. In
the top notes of the fragrance, sophisticated cinnamon leaves create a
slightly spicy prelude with light clove undertones to which black pepper
adds a drier, fresher and more vibrant dimension. This striking
overture is followed by agarwood, also known as Oud, the most expensive
wood in the world. Raw and sophisticated at the same time, oud is a lush
and incredibly sensuous note that introduces a mildness characteristic
of the Oriental perfumery tradition. Guaiac wood oil reinforces this
suave, hypnotic facet and brings soft and balsamic woody notes to the
fragrance. In the drydown, emblematic ingredients of the Middle East
enhance the agarwood trail. The long-lasting benzoin mingles its
sweetness with the addictive mystery of ambreine and a vibrant amber
accord.
DAVIDOFF Agar Blend’s flacon exudes a timeless and deeply
masculine elegance. A distinctive groove runs along the side of the
heavy glass bottle whose translucent shadows allude to the dark colour
of the agarwood resin. The name of the fragrance appears on a golden
metallic sheet while DAVIDOFF’s double D icon is branded on top of the
solid black and gold cap. The textured carton box with its matching
embossed tag and golden monogram perfectly complements the sober grace
of the enclosed flask.
Davidoff Agar Blend was launched in 2015.
