Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is a bittersweet memory for many, evoking a powerful nostalgia for the late 90s. While some feel it's dated or synthetic, the overwhelming sentiment is a longing for its unique, uplifting green freshness.
The Best Life recreates the fig-melon-grapefruit opening that made the now-discontinued Davidoff Good Life a cult favourite, moving into a black tea and lavender heart. It captures the freshness well but flattens some of the original's more interesting green fig-leaf dew nuance into a simpler fruity-aromatic scent.
