Davidoff Good Life is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Pierre Bourdon. Good Life opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lavender, and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Lemon, Violet, Geranium, and Magnolia, and dries down to a base of Clover, Amber, Sandalwood, and Almond. 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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, green, and clean profile makes it ideal for casual wear, spring days, and even sport. The moderate projection means it's generally office-safe, and while it's uplifting, it might lack the gravitas for formal events.

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.
