The Story

Launched in 2005 by Davidoff, Silver Shadow Pure Blend is an Oriental Woody fragrance that embodies the brand’s commitment to ultimate quality and reliability. The composition opens with a spicy kick of cinnamon and orange, giving way to a heart of cedar and patchouli. This blend transitions into a warm amber base grounded by oakmoss and benzoin. Unlike some of Davidoff's lighter scents, Silver Shadow Pure Blend is designed for those who appreciate a strong presence — it’s both warming and earthy, creating an atmosphere that feels simultaneously cozy and expansive.

Application Tips

Given its strong sillage and long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are sufficient. The cinnamon and orange notes fade quickly, so aim for areas that retain warmth like your neck and wrists to keep the woody base prominent throughout the day.

Francis Kurkdjian portrait
My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
