Good Life

by Pierre Bourdon

Davidoff Good Life is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Pierre Bourdon. Good Life opens with Lavender, Fig Leaf, Melon, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Tea, Violet, Blackcurrant, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Clover, Almond, Sandalwood, and Amber. Davidoff's Good Life carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

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.

About

Good Life bursts open with a juicy hit of fig leaf and melon, brightened by zesty bergamot and grapefruit. As it settles, a clean, aromatic core of tea and violet emerges, underpinned by a subtle sweetness from blackcurrant. The drydown offers a soft, green woody accord with hints of almond and warm amber, creating a fresh yet comforting finish.
