Zino Davidoff, of Davidoff Cool Water, was born on March 11, 1906 in Kiev, Russia. Zino was the eldest child of four siblings, born to, a Jewish tobacco merchant, Henri Davidoff.  It was from his father that young Zino learned the tobacco business. In Russia, at the time of young Zinos youth there was a lot of anti-Semitism and political upheaval, due to this his parents left Russia for Geneva, Switzerland in 1911. In Geneva, Zino’s parents opened up their own tobacconist shop in 1912.

After travelling to Latin America to learn about the tobacco trade, Zino returned to Switzerland around 1930. At this point he took over the families modest tobacco shop himself and turned it into a rich and thriving business. In this shop he added the first optimum storage facility for cigars.

In 1970 he teamed up with an old friend in Dr. Ernst Schneider and the Geneva shop was acquired by the Oettinger family business, from Basel. This started Davidoff into a very successful and sought after brand all across the globe.

Davidoff’s company motto was “the good life” and enjoying life’s finer pleasures, this led to the branching of the company into accessory and perfume design. In 1984 Davidoff released his first cologne, Davidoff Classic, followed two years later by his second scent, Zino Davidoff, named after himself. Cool Water, probably his most famous scent was released onto the market in 1988, since then Cool Water has become one of the best selling scents on the market today.

The Cool Water range expanded as other versions were developed such as Cool Water Game, Cool Water Deep and Cool Water Summer Fizz. The ranger continued its success and Cool Water for Women and Cool Water Frozen Perfume for Women was also released onto the market as well as others.
