Good Life for Men Davidoff 1998 Eau de Toilette

The thing with favorite fragrances is always a very personal and subjective matter. What one person loves and enthusiastically wears may not sit well with the next. And vice versa.
My thoughts on Good Life by Davidoff are of course very personal and subjective as well. But I’m happy to share them with those interested.

There are indeed fragrances that make your mouth corners automatically lift when you apply them. Good Life definitely belongs to this category for me.
It perfectly embodies spring for me, when nature comes back to life, everything is green and blooming, and when it gets warmer and I feel drawn outside to enjoy the fresh air and the young greenery along with all the lovely blossoms.
Good Life is truly a wonderful companion for that.
Even the first spray makes me think of a beautiful sunny and friendly day, on which I want to take a long walk in the greenery. Gentle citrus fruits flatter the senses combined with a hint of lavender (which already creates a green-fresh feeling), it becomes fruity-delicious with a piece of melon and a handful of currants (but just a very small handful, otherwise it gets too sour), and a fig leaf rounds it off. It becomes a bit more floral, the spring meadow is in full bloom, violets wave, geraniums smile, a beautiful magnolia tree greets magnificently, and a lot of clover joins in, giving the spring walk that certain green-herbaceous note that remains throughout the entire experience. This must be that pretty meadow clover you find everywhere, with its very delicate scent.
An interesting scent note, which probably isn’t used very often, could be used more frequently in my opinion.
Towards the end of the walk in the greenery, I crave a cup of tea with a few almond pieces, not too many, it shouldn’t be too strong. And the tea is not too strong either. A piece of sandalwood with a bit of amber scents pleasantly in the background.
The spring walk in the greenery lasted about 7 hours, which is quite good for such a fine and unobtrusive fragrance.
I wore Good Life again today after a long time. Even though it is the epitome of spring for me, it suited the still very mild weather perfectly today. If there weren’t so many leaves lying around, one could really think it’s spring or early summer.
It performed very well at my work, wafting gently around my nose repeatedly, and I felt extremely comfortable. I was also complimented on the scent twice today, which made me very happy. A compliment about the fragrance is always a lovely cherry on top.

The name Good Life is, in my opinion, very fitting; you quickly get in a good mood and think to yourself, yes, life is beautiful :-)
Unfortunately, Good Life has not been produced for a long time, which I find very unfortunate. I don’t even know exactly when it disappeared from stores; it must have been in the early 2000s. In any case, I have never seen it again since.
I still have a half-full bottle that I bought in the late 90s. Thank goodness the fragrance is still perfectly fine. Sometimes it’s hard to understand why the fragrance you love so much is taken out of the assortment.
There may have been various reasons; perhaps it didn’t achieve the expected sales, or maybe it was overshadowed by other fragrances that sold better. In contrast to many other fragrances from its time, Good Life is quite subtle, almost inconspicuous. It has few edges and corners. That may have bothered some people.
I have no complaints about Good Life; it brings good mood, puts me in a springtime spirit, and ensures overall well-being. Just like on a sunny spring day, even if it’s already October and technically deep autumn.
