Davidoff is a prestigious Swiss brand that is operated by two separate, independent corporate entities: the Oettinger Davidoff Group (focused on tobacco and related accessories) and the Zino Davidoff Group (focused on non-tobacco luxury goods).

Zino Davidoff Group
Spun out as an independent business in 1980, this Swiss family-owned company manages the Davidoff brand name for non-tobacco luxury and lifestyle items.

Core Business:
Licensing the Davidoff brand name for the manufacture and sale of luxury goods, including:
– Fragrances: Produced and distributed by Coty Inc., most famously the iconic Cool Water scent.
– Coffee: Licensed to the German coffee chain Tchibo.
– Accessories: Includes watches, leather goods, writing instruments, eyewear, and cognac.

Brand Philosophy:
The Zino Davidoff Group operates independently from the tobacco industry and focuses on the founder’s spirit of excellence, curiosity, and the appreciation of life’s refined details.

Note that the trademark for Davidoff brand cigarettes is owned by a third company, Imperial Brands, after a 2006 acquisition.
