This men’s fragrance from Davidoff—evoking the thrill of adventure—was first released in February 2008. The U.S. market was an exception, with its launch scheduled for the fall of the same year.
The fragrance is fronted by Ewan McGregor, an actor and bona fide adventurer renowned for his roles inTrainspotting,Star Wars,Moulin Rouge!, andDown with Love. McGregor has noted that this fragrance and its advertising campaign resonate deeply with him: not only on a personal level, but also as a reflection of his great passion—motorcycling.
Crafted as a woody-spicy scent, the perfume was developed by Givaudan perfumer Antoine Lie. His inspiration stemmed from untamed nature, drawing on its crisp freshness and rich woody undertones.

The fragrance unfolds with bright, sweet top notes of mandarin orange, bergamot, and zesty lemon, leading into a heart of green tea and black pepper. At its core, black sesame seeds and South American pimento berries take center stage, while the base rests on a foundation of Peruvian cedar, vetiver, and soft musk. It is available as an eau de toilette in 50 ml and 100 ml bottles, alongside a 100 ml aftershave. A full range of complementary grooming products—including deodorants and shampoo—is also offered.
The advertising campaign was photographed by Stephen Klein, who captured the acclaimed actor amid the lush density of the Brazilian jungle.
