TheHead of the Aquatics

I think we've all had a sniff of Davidoff Cool water. It is a fresh, masculine aquatic. It probably has a constantly high relevance due to P/L and availability, almost every drugstore carries this fragrance. It suits every occasion and complements the man. Unfortunately, this is also its weakness, as it does not develop and can therefore quickly become monotonous. I would rate the H/S at around 3 hours, which is OK for the price. I think this fragrance is very good for people who want to get into the perfume hobby.

80s through and through

After not smelling it for years, I gave it a chance again, but unfortunately the scent is impossible for me.

It just smells sharp and pungent to me. Yes, it's maritime and fresh, but completely over the top, like the olfactory image of a shirt unbuttoned far too far with a hairy man's chest and a moustache.

I don't know how I could wear this fragrance without being 50+.

What can I say?

Everything's been said about this beautiful smelling fragrance that raised the bar and is one of the first of its kind. Truly a wonder among perfumes.

I wish it lasted longer on me. When I apply it before work at 8:30AM, the scent is almost non-existent around 1:00PM –– what a bummer ;(

I still love it and have very fond memories of it and the person who gave it to me as a gift.

An ode to the freshness of the ocean I Timeless classic I One of the first fragrances to use mint!

Cool Water Eau de Toilette is a timeless classic and had a real hype back in the 90s. Not entirely unjustified, as it was a truly "innovative" fragrance by the standards of the time and one of the first fragrances to use mint. Almost four decades later, the fragrance is still on most shelves and not without reason; even if there are now far more modern interpretations of the ocean!

But now to the details of Cool Water Eau de Toilette - what is it like? - The fragrance is inspired by the ocean, refreshing sea breezes and green landscapes. Not surprisingly, the fragrance captures this idea and creates that "cool water" feeling right at the opening with mint and lavender.

- Increasingly, green notes are added which, together with rosemary and coriander, take on a rather fresh and spicy direction in the heart note before the ambery musk drydown sets in, giving the fragrance depth and a slight warmth.

- In this respect, you are taken on a journey that opens with a really fresh aquatic note and then moves on to a slightly spicy freshness and a slightly ambery musky drydown.

- The sillage is rather moderate, lower mid-range. The fragrance projects quite well at the beginning, but fades rather quickly. The longevity is a little better, but also rather mid-range.

A great fragrance that was quite innovative for its time and was able to hold its own for decades. Yes, and as explained in the review of Green Irish Tweed, the fragrance DNA is fine, but from my point of view it's just classic 80s/90s; for me personally it's no longer so appealing, but there are certainly many who continue to celebrate the fragrance in the summer or office, for different reasons.

Compared to the Green Irish Tweed, the fragrance is a real bargain (10x cheaper) and although the Green Irish Tweed naturally smells better, I don't think that the Cool Water Eau de Toilette smells 10x worse! In this respect, confidently strike!

...but I have to say one thing; when I sniff the fragrance in the perfumeries from time to time just for fun, it really takes me back to wonderful memories of the 90s; associations with cool times and loved ones who have all aged with the fragrance in the meantime...oops, nostalgia....

How it all began..

It happened in July 2020: I fell in love with you.
It was the first time I had consciously gone to a perfumery to choose a fragrance for myself. I tested many different fragrances, but the Cool Water Eau de Toilette immediately won me over, which is why I picked up a 40 ml bottle. I immediately realized that this refreshing, clear and calming, fresh-aquatic-aromatic fragrance perfectly underlines my personality. The fresh lavender-mint combination simply gives me a clean and well-groomed feeling. The mossy-woody base rounds off the whole thing perfectly.
Even after four years, it is still my favorite fragrance, which I like to wear every now and then for private and professional occasions. Unfortunately, it doesn't usually last a whole working day. On hot summer days, however, it serves me all the better; I wear it relatively long and intensely. The fresh scent then always reaches my nose and makes me think of a walk by the sea. And when I firmly believe in it, Cool Water even cools me down and lowers the temperature in the sun-heated office - just like jumping off the cliff into the refreshing water.
Although I have bought several other fragrances since my first encounter with Cool Water, I would never give up the 200 ml bottle. So far, I haven't found a perfume that suits me so well and always puts me in a good mood.
