Good Life Women

This one had me at hello, lol. First of all, I'm a sucker for almost anything with fig in it, so this fits the bill. Just mildly sweet & fresh fig. The warmth of the wood, amber, & velvety magnolia petals, give me a serene, peaceful feeling. Its a nuzzly, comforting fragrance. I can even imagine wearing this to sleep, since its not a loud oriental & the wood note is not sharp, but gentle. IMO this would be fun to wear anytime, but I think its best suited to autumn days because its an oriental of sorts, but not a heavy vanillic oriental, such as Casmir, which I save only for winter/nights. Beautiful, unique with just enough sweetness. Longevity is good on me, which speaks volumes because my skin doesn't typically hold scent. I am very happy I found this!

I still remember the rush when I first tested this perfume, when it was released, and I bought it on the spot. It was different from everything else and that was the era of proliferation of new fragrances that were starting to smell like one another and beginning to lose individuality of the 80's and early 90's. This fresh and, at the same time, sweet fig won my heart. Backed up by rose and ylang, it really was the good life. As a fan and owner of Allure EDT and Dolce Vita, I can safely say they are not alike at all, although all three have that uplifting effect, but they come from different mix of notes.

I really like this one. Starts off very strong with lots of pepper, after an hour or so it becomes a warm sweet floral oriental, going to a soft amber, vanilla, sandalwood after two hours. The fig was there, but not overly strong, in the first & second phases. Sillage was very strong on me for first hour then went to a skin scent. Lasted about 3-4 hours max on me. fyi - my skin is normal (not oily or dry) but very acidic so most scents dont last much longer on me. The bottle is a PAIN to use, too wide it is hard to hold when trying to spray and I have big hands for a woman.

I'm completely in love with this perfume. A divine and nostalgic fragrance, so difficult to come by these days. Smells of burnt leaves and candied plum. Good Life is a surprise in the entire Davidoff perfume collection. I did not expect this particular House to achieve such level of sophistication. Paired with a warm scarf and Duke Ellington's "A sentimental mood" in your headphones, it works better than a yoga class or a vanilla chai latte. Although, I don't see the reason why not have all of these. Sadly, as most good things in life, the fragrance has been discontinued.

This smells so warm and cozy like you are being wrapped up in the softest most luxurious cashmere sweater ever! Picture a chilly rainy day and you are taking a day for yourself to just hang out and watch movies or read a book and you grab your most cozy cashmere sweater and you wrap yourself up in it and sit in a comfy chair and peer out the window at the rain while wearing this fabulous scent! I have to say I have become border line obsessed with this perfume. It is fabulous!!!!!

Another lovely fig fragrance! It represents a bright day, a good mood, and celebration of life. It’s rich and solid without being heavy. Figs are prominent here, you can definitely smell its sweetness but not in gourmand way. The only floral notes I smell here is jasmine and ylang. The drydown is creamy sandalwood, warm ambery, woody, and a bit powdery. And yes, it does remind me of Parfum D’Elle 2 by Montana (also one of my faves!).

It is 1999, I buy Elle magazine with sample of this perfume. This fragrance became my obsession then, I smell fig, ylang ylang, sandalwood and amber. I'm starting high school and sitting on the bench with a girl who will be my best friend in the future. It is October, sunny weather, nice, warm wind and this smell. I miss this time. When everything important began.

I remember this is the first branded perfume I had around 2000. It was a pretty new scent that time. I started liking the amber and sandalwood smell because of this. I was 25 yrs. old that time and I am more into fresh scent. This somehow smelled sweet, sexy, warm and cozy on me, I can still still remember the feeling :) It is sad that they've discontinued this.

If I want to smell sophisticated and worldly, I spray this on. It virtually lasts all day and a little spray goes a long way. The hint of rose and sweetness gives it elegance. I'm so sad it's discontinued. I am now afraid to use it because I might not be able to find a bottle. Please Davidoff bring this scent back.

A fav, I still have it, its sensual to me. I like the warmness that the sandalwood, jasmine and pepper blends bring. I was happily surprised how good it smelled.I've rationed using it up because it is hard to find. Will use up what I have remaining happily. It reminds me of how my chemistry wears Dune.

First impressions: WOW. What a surprise, what a quality scent from Davidoff! Beautiful, deep, ambery, extraordinary. I blind bought it for a song, just because I liked the name "Good life". Sometimes names can be so right.

I really love this perfume. I'm so into vintages lately. This snells a bit spicy and powdery to me. My only complaint is that this juice DOES NOT LAST. NO SILLAGE whatsoever.

It is the only perfume I have bought twice! I usually like to try new scents. It is originala and unique. I can ay with confidence that it reminds of no other perfume.

Much better that Cool Water, which, though pleasant, is insipid and overused. Good Life is warm, friendly, and welcoming. I especially love that figgy note.

Please Davidoff bring back this scent. I only remember it smelled warm and cosy, unassuming. Best smell of Davidoff.

This really reminds me of one of my faves, Door Dolce Vita EDT. Love this.

I don't get much fig here,as I get from for example thierry mugler womanity or elie saab resort collection,but no problem For me,good life is a combination of sweet ylangylang,creamy sandalwood,spicy amber,some soft vanilla and a floral bouquet (magnolia,rose and jasmine)..this blend is sweet,warm and very rounded,cozy and airy the same time,this is an oriental floral IMO All notes appear as I wish,it's really gorgeous and soothing,bright,comforting and induces positive feelings so good life is a good name for it I believe it's wearable year round,even in summers,it's warm sweetness is such well balanced that can't become cloying,but I prefer fall for a golden cashmere like scent Longevity is very good and sillage is in the range of being noticeable without punching anybody on face I can see no similarities between this and lancome hypnose senses,which is a honeyed patchouli dominant scent and more reminds me of chanel mademoiselle.. Though I find good life a versatile fragrance,I'm gonna use it just on special occasions because I only have a 1.7 oz bottle of it(and not a full one) and as you know this is discontinued(a repetitive tragic story for all my beloved perfumes) ❤❤❤❤ چندان رایحه انجیر از این عطر استشمام نمیکنم(در حد وومنیتی و یا مثلا الی صعب ریزورت)اما برای من چندان مهم نیست دیویدوف گودلایف برای من ترکیبی از رایحه شیرین یلانگ یلانگ,صندل کرمی,امبر اسپایسی ,کمی وانیل لطیف و مجموعه ای از روایح گلی(مگنولیا,رز و یاس)هست این ترکیب,گرم شیرین عمیق و کاملا نرم و بدون زاویه ست..احساسی از سبکی و حس گرم و نرم و راحت بودن رو همزمان داره و به عقیده من بیشتر شرقی گلی هست تا شرقی وانیلی تمام نت ها دقیقا همینجور ک دوس دارم ظاهر شده و به زیبایی باهم ترکیب شدن..حاصل کار رایحه ای روشن.زیبا..نرم و صاف و آرامش بخش هست ک احسایات مثبت القا میکنه درنتیجه اسم گودلایف انتخاب بامسمایی براش هست بنظر من گودلایف میتونه بصورت چهارفصل مورد استفاده قرار بگیره..گرما و شیرینی اون کاملا بالانس شده هستن و حتی درتابستان کلافه کننده نیستن اما من پاییز رو برای همچین رایحه طلایی و کشمیر مانندی ترجیح میدم ماندگاری گودلایف بسیار خوبه و پخش اون درحدی هست ک برای اطرافیان قابل تشخیصه بدون اینکه تهاجمی باشه من ک هیچ شباهتی بین گولایف دیویدوف و لانکوم هیپنوزسنسز ک پچولی عسلی هست نمیبینم و این عطر لانکوم رو از خانواده عطرهای شبیه به کوکو مادمازل شنل میدونم متاسفانه تراژدی تکراری دیسکانتینیو شدن,گریبانگیر این عطر زیبا و ساده و پرکاربرد هم شده

This is a ylang-dominant scent for me. Usually that gives me quite a bit of trouble, but there is something special about this scent that keeps me inquisitively sniffing my wrist...magnolia and a touch of fig (although the fig appears only briefly in the top notes, and I genuinely wish it would hang around longer). I am really not getting enough of the base notes for my nose to identify this composition as an oriental vanilla. This is wearing like a floral oriental on me. It feels a bit retro too. I agree with tzoutzou78 who compared it to a lighter version of Tuscany Per Donna, minus all the carnation of course. It feels cleaner and more youthful. UPDATE: I found that, on hotter days, the fig note was more pronounced, and so were the base notes, which for some reason, my nose interpreted as "tonka bean". Good Life is a subtle mood-enhancing scent that shifts with the weather!

il fico, che è una delle mie note preferite, e che pur compare nella piramide olfattiva di questa meraviglia fuori produzione, io qui non lo percepisco proprio. epperò sento un cremoso ylang ylang, che pure gradisco molto, e che domina incontrastato le note di inizio conferendo all'insieme un che di fruttato. quindi ci si sposta su sentori più legnosi di sandalo e su un bel fondo ambrato. l'evoluzione è in realtà più complessa di così, ma le note che compaiono come puntini luminosi durante l'assestamento non sono per me facilmente identificabili. è un profumo dolce senza essere stucchevole, ed anche lievemente fresco. bello e adatto a tutte le temperature.

Woman in a bottle! The kind of woman that I admire and aspire to be.... kind, loyal, wise, clean, feminine, strong, elegant and put together. Whenever I click all the boxes in here for day/night and usable for all seasons, I consider the scent to be a good "all-rounder" and signature-worthy scent, and this one falls into that category for me. I understand the comparison to "Allure"... although I don ́t find them to smell the same at all, the elegant, grown-up and feminine feeling and vibe they project, are similar.
