From your scent profile
Davidoff Silver Shadow Eau de Toilette opens with orange and cedar leaf, then settles into saffron, cedarwood, amber and patchouli: a fresh, woody fragrance made for men.
Skunky's take: Like opening a window: the room feels lighter at once.

OrientalWhat does Silver Shadow (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The opening is citrusy and lightly fruity, with orange alongside the green-woody cedar leaf. In the heart, saffron adds spice and cedarwood gives a dry backbone. The base of amber and patchouli turns sweeter, with a powdery, oriental warmth and a faintly synthetic edge.
Most voters find it masculine. Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Autumn and spring lead the votes, with winter and summer behind, and daytime, leisure and office wear are the most common settings. It has been discontinued. Lattafa Qaed Al Fursan and Scorpio Noir Absolu have a close profile.
