The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Run Wild by Davidoff was launched in 2019 and crafted by perfumers Alexandra Carlin and Pierre-Constantin Guéros, bringing together fresh spices with woody warmth for a unisex aromatic experience. The fragrance opens with the invigorating freshness of ginger and cinnamon, leading to a heart of lavender and fir resin that adds depth and complexity. It settles into a warm base of tonka bean and vanilla, creating an enveloping scent that balances sharpness with comfort.

How to wear it

Apply one to two sprays to ensure the fresh spicy notes are balanced with the warm base. The scent develops gradually over time, so it’s best worn during activities that allow for a build-up of warmth on the skin.
