Is Davidoff by Davidoff still in production?+−
No, this fragrance has been discontinued for many years. It was originally produced under the Lancaster group, and finding a bottle today usually requires searching through vintage collectors or secondary markets.
How does this compare to Davidoff Cool Water?+−
They are entirely different fragrances. While Cool Water is a fresh, aquatic pioneer that redefined the late 80s, Davidoff is a spicy, green, and animalic leather scent. They share almost no olfactory similarities despite coming from the same brand.
Is this considered a "beast mode" fragrance?+−
In terms of modern standards, yes. Because it was formulated in 1984, it possesses a concentration and ingredient profile—including heavy moss and castoreum—that provides much stronger longevity and projection than modern Eau de Toilettes.
What is the best season to wear this fragrance?+−
While it can be worn year-round by enthusiasts, the community generally prefers it for fall and winter. The heavy, resinous base of frankincense and leather can become overwhelming in high humidity and heat.
