FougèreThe history of Davidoff
Davidoff is now considered a luxury empire. Yet this company was originally built on modest foundations. It is the work of Zino Davidoff, born in Kiev in 1906 and who became a renowned figure in the commercial tobacco industry. Thus, he opened a tobacco shop in Geneva in 1930. Very quickly, he brought a highly modern perspective to the world of this product but also to luxury in general. Indeed, Zino Davidoff always believed that luxury was not a material in itself but rather the experience surrounding the consumption of the product. Thus, he quickly made a name for himself and his tobacco shop became a true place of worship for European cigar lovers. What is more, the shop brought together the finest cigar qualities in the world, sourced from numerous trips to the Caribbean or South America. Furthermore, for an even more enjoyable experience, Zino Davidoff also sold a whole assortment of accessories there such as cigar humidors, ashtrays, pipes... Then, the house of Davidoff eventually expanded its business areas to develop watches, eyewear, perfumes, ties and writing instruments.
Davidoff today
Davidoff remains a renowned company in the market for cigars and Swiss watches. Nevertheless, it also continues to stand out in perfumery with, for example, the famous men's fragrance Cool Water, whose face of the campaign was the late Paul Walker. Davidoff is a prestigious house with an impressive list of prestigious clients. Indeed, Orson Welles, King Farouk of Egypt and Vladimir Lenin were personalities who frequently visited the Davidoff store in Geneva. Likewise, among the famous smokers in Davidoff's history, Winston Churchill even had a cigar line named after him, released in 2014. In terms of perfume, it is a brand synonymous with elegance, dynamism and sex appeal. In terms of marketing, it is now Clint Eastwood's son, Scott Eastwood, who has become the ambassador for the house's men's fragrances. He is the image of the fragrance Cool Water and says he is proud to be the face of a fragrance synonymous with an aquatic lifestyle. Furthermore, he explains that the ocean has always held a major place in his daily life, which is why he sees himself as the ideal ambassador for this renowned brand.
