DAVIDOFF Cool Water Man Intense Eau de Parfum 125ml

Product Information

Annick Menardo wasn't even revealed by Davidoff as perfumer at first, but was only discovered later on down the line, telling me all of this was done seat-of-the-pants style. I'd rather take Office for Men over this, since least the fragrance from the YouTube celebrity is actually pleasant when all is said and done, despite it's volume. It doesn’t matter what you’re wearing, the CW series will never disappoint you in the case of getting compliments. But two more flankers of Cool Water were released, and people got confused as they couldn’t decide which one is better.

I guess this stuff is trying to be sort of like an over-powered office fragrance in the style of Fragrance One: Office for Men by Jeremy Fragrance (2019) that nobody in their right mind would actually take to an office, because it has that similar overly-extroverted and polite vibe but with a handshake that can shatter carbon fiber and a scent trail that will remind you for the rest of the day that the wearer was there. Though Cool Water and Cool Water Parfum gathered a lot of success, there are some controversial uses of notes. Lastly, if we talk about the parfum version, we can see the note transition can be harsh for you although it’s a versatile fragrance.

On the other hand, Cool Water is a massively popular fragrance and the freshness of this fragrance is admired by all. Discover the legendary marine fragrance of this Men's Eau de Toilette, inspired by the freshness of the ocean. A unique composition, crafted with more than 18 natural ingredients, that delivers an immediate freshness. It's more subtle and wearable than both, so if you want a less intense (despite the name), work-appropriate and possibly more refined version of Eros, this could be a good find. The massive shower gel dose comes next, with some green cardamom and mandarin orange over galaxolide laundry musk-ish sort of tones, very synthetic and uber-safe.

The biggest thing here is the amber xtreme note, mega-dosed to absurd levels, being woody amber Hell for anyone that hates scratchy sharp nose-piercing itchy dry downs that seem to be all the rage in the late 2010's and early 2020's. Cool Water, Cool Water Intense, and Cool Water Parfum are massively popular in the fragrance community.This is just speculation of course, as is my suspicion that what is actually housed in the bottle may have been an unused formula from the vaults of Firmenich that was bought at discount by Davidoff just to have something they could use to keep banking on the legacy of the Cool Water name. The dry down is like being walloped with Comet cleanser, asbestos, and broken glass shaken up in a pillow case, just pure nasty that lasts forever. As you can see, the performance level of Cool Water Intense is much higher, and on the other hand, Cool Water is cheaper. It is one of the freshest cologne I’ve ever sniffed, and every bit of it feels refreshed and fantastic.

I can see the appeal for guys that need to announce their virility and prowess in the corporate jungle at every opportunity, or the guy that wears one fragrance for everything and would like something that can make the leap from work to dance floor without re-application, but this once more has absolutely fuck-all to do with Cool Water. If I had to choose between these two, I would pick Cool Water over Cool Water Intense and Cool Water Parfum. Wear time is until you beg it to stop and projection is oh God please help me like Ozzy Osbourne sings in the eponymous track by Black Sabbath.Thankfully, this isn't the candy ethyl maltol sort of sweet you're used to in clubbers or some Paco Rabanne Invictus (2013) wannabes, but it definitely has that "latest banger" sort of Instagram-obsessed compliment monster vibe that checks off all the douche-bro boxes with smoking finger guns and smarmy grins.

When the fruitiness of melon, pineapple and blackcurrant meet the femininity of the lily of the valley warmed by sensual woods. To add further insult to injury, little to no advertising was done for this, and soon Run Wild (2020) emerged as the big men's push that was featured everywhere at counters carrying Davidoff, as if Cool Water Intense was under rug swept. On the other hand, Cool Water Intense starts with a citrusy opening, and soon it becomes fruitier and lasts for an entire day. In fact, nothing about the scent profile of Davidoff Cool Water even feels cool, watery, or particularly fresh, so it fails even at respecting the legacy of it's best-selling namesake alongside not having any of its DNA.As all of these fragrances use rich notes, as a result, they all provide fantastic projection and longevity. Cool Water has sea notes, lavender, mint, green notes, rosemary, Calone, and coriander in the opening.
