Cool Water Intense Davidoff for men

Great perfume for it's price, I get decent performance with this one and smells very tropical. I recommend it in case you want to buy a good summer perfume that doesn't cost too much. Gem.

Cloying disgusting horrid flanker of the original, I expected something really nice coconuty and fresh for summer on a budget and it's so synthetic and it's just horrible

the coconut is not tropical and just in the background wasnt what i expected as a blind buy but great amber fragrance

Don’t expect a super loud tropical coconut that is just the main thing you smell, it’s a very very soapy warm sweet fragrance, it’s synthetic smelling and the coconut is detectable if you think about it and try to smell it. Lasts 5 hours and does radiate several feet for most of that time. A fresh green sweet fragrance. —Edit. Left with cap off after 2 days, no clue how this happens but the soapy smell is minimized if not gone, the coconut note in the biggest note now, it’s a not a coconut flake smell though, it’s a warm creamy smooth one, like warm coconut milk, the orange is also ontop of that as a citrus accord to make it fresh and airy, the amber is just a warm sweet under tone . From a 5/10 to a 8/10.

When i first got it and firar time i smelled it i thought it was very basic and smells like every mans cologne ever but after a time i grew more into it and actually started to like it. It is very ambery coconuty and a bit of citrus, i would probably wear it in a late summer night or afternoon, great for under 40!

Duration: 7/10 ✅
Projection: 6.5/10 ✅
Fragrance:: 7.5/10 ✅

A variation of its historic older brother, the classic, hyper-known Eau de toilette, this Intense version drastically changes its accords making it even more universal and therefore more youthful and extroverted.
Suitable for men, it can be worn in any situation without ever looking disfiguring, but always on days or evenings with medium-high temperatures.
Perfume with a rather high quality-price ratio, easily available in any commercial perfumery, and excellent as a gift without having to spend a fortune.

Final rating: 7/10 ✅

in my experience with this fragrance longevity is about 7-8 hours with the first 2-3 hours of strong projection and as time passes it sits closer to the skin. smells like a nice shower gel fragrance with smooth amber notes and for the price is amazing!

Just bought and wear it!This frag makes me feel like a p*rn star on a tropical island😂.From my nose it's mainly GREEN MANDARINE then u get a hint of that COCONUT NECTAR, on the dry down tropical fresh out the shower soapy and sexy MASCULINE scent, I saw many BAD REVIEWS on this and I was shocked when i smelled it,that's why I encourage dudes to go out and actually smell frags not just listening to tiktokers. This cheapy smell better than those overly hyped 2023-2024 summer fragrances

the best description for this one is it is clean, with a hint of mandarin, does not have have great longevity. for the price it is a good buy for a clean scent. it reminds me of a very weak jpg le male

Starts off with a strong green mandarin smell and slowly turns into a tropical, sweet smell which is great. Lasts about 7 hours for me. I bought a 125ml one for 35$ which is an absolute steal for a perfect spring/summer fragrance that you can easily pull of in the autumn and winter too. 8.5/10, but 10/10 for the money.

initial spray of this i almost vomited. i've never smelled the original cool water but to me this intense flanker leans toward more feminine its clean it's soapy and there's a hint of citrus as well. to my inexperience nose i don't smell the coconut. i get decent performance not like the beast mode some are getting but i do tend to get nose blind easily

This is a pretty good buy! I don’t smell much coconut which may be a good thing since a lot of the bad reviews I’ve seen were about the coconut smelling “synthetic”. It’s fresh but more sweet and warm. When I first sprayed it was a pretty good warm citrus smell. After that it goes into a smooth amber smell. The amber comes across very sweet and a bit spicy(which I enjoy a lot). Because of the warm amber I feel like this could be a signature scent. Seems very easy to wear all year round. I get 6+ hours easily. And 4-5 sprays can easily fill a room. Lower the sprays in high heat, I can see this becoming cloying. Will be one of my all season mains because I love the spice I’m picking up in the amber.

Overall 8.75/10

At first glance you'd think this is just a sequel to the original with better performance. However, you'd think wrong. The scent profiles are nothing alike. Either way, I saw coconut so I wanted to try it. Not much else to say. Here's how it went;

Scent:
Opening is ambery, citrusy, and tropical. The only three notes listed in the fragrance are green mandarin, coconut nectar, and amber; and I'm able to pick all of them out easily. The strongest notes are the green mandarin and amber. The mandarin has a rind-y orange type of citrus accord while the amber carries its signature resinous sweetness. This is followed by the coconut nectar for a creamy and tropical coconut note in the background. The dry down is ambery and tropical. The only notes I get are the amber and coconut nectar, with the stronger note being the amber by far. The citrus note had completely burned off and left a big dose of resinous amber with a tinge of tropical coconut accord in the background. The dry down was very reminiscent of a fragrance from Paco Rabanne's 1 Million line. Not a particular one, just that sort of vibe.

Performance:
Initial projection is moderately strong at around 3 feet. Sillage matches that strength with a noticeable but controlled scent trail. After a few hours the projection was light and under arms length, while the scent trail was still moderately noticeable. At around the 7 hour mark the projection was completely gone but there was still a slight scent trail. The fragrance was entirely a skin scent shortly thereafter.

When to wear:
This is a spring/summer fragrance most suited for daytime wear, but could also be worn on warm nights thanks to the heavy-handed amber note. This would not be my choice for an office scent, but it could work well on a date night.

Blind buy:
If you like amber-driven fragrances, but can also enjoy tropical vibes, this is a safe blind buy for you.

Final verdict:
It's a good fragrance. It doesn't do any particular thing exceedingly well, but it hits the target in all the important categories. Smells good, decent performance, and it's people-pleasing. I probably won't be picking up a full bottle just because I already own tropical scents and ambery scents; so it would be a little redundant for me. However, if you need something like that in your collection it's a great budget pick.

Scent: 7/10
Longevity: 7/10
Sillage: 6/10

This is an impressive fragrance, a nice, clean, fresh smell, but the performance is terrific, lasted an age on me, and the sillage was better than many other mainstream options. A few people asked me about it, their faces dropped when I said Cool Water. I love it.

Wow just wow. In general i’m into blue fragrances probably cause i’m still only 15 and like fresh fragrances. I was looking for a fresh fragrance that lasts a while and has good performance. i walked into my uncles room and i saw this fragrance sitting on his table, of course i smelled it and knew i had to get it ASAP. i sprayed it once on my hand to see how long it would have lasted (it was in the morning when i sprayed) it lasted ALL DAY and after even showering the same day i could still feel it on my wrist. and the performance was also great cause even in the evening before i went to shower my mom asked me what i was wearing even tho i hadn’t gone close to her just one spray was enough to make her feel it across the room. great price, great smell, great longevity and great performance.

This stuff lasts! Damn!

One of the best blue fragrances out there, direct competitor to Sauvage and Dylan Blue, the Davidoff being more long lasting than both. You can use it all year round (like most blues out there) and in any occasion you want. The scent is quite sharp and it SURELY has Ambroxan , despite it not being listed as a note. Another thing I really like about this is the sprayer. Sprays a very good amount on the skin and also shoots decently. The opening has this playful orange note I really love, while the base is where some darkness starts when the amber and ambroxan come in, followed by the coconut middle note. In my head it smells like I imagine myself going to a luxurious hotel in the moutains and taking a shower in the bath of my hotel room, which has a window with a view at the forest, and while I look at it while being in the shower I use this orange and coconut smelling shower gel. That's how I imagine it.

Not bad! Classic man fresh fragrance with a good longevity. It smell a bit cheap, but in the end is the classic fresh smell that everyone like.

Beast mode of a fragrance. It smells way better in the air rather than spraying it on your hand and smelling it as it is very overpowering. The more you wear it the more you will like it. Its a very good everyday signature scent as it is very cheap, long lasting, and has a great projection. Not too sweet allowing it to be perfect as a daily use. Would give it a 10/10 just for the price tag and for it being a beast mode fragrance.

Unisex and I honestly find it more feminine. Pretty shocking and random to have the cool water name attached to something like this..

now its drydown definitely smells like that old school girly scent from the 90s

sweet synthetic ambery tropical juice
tiare lotion not so much coconut to my nose though
smells like tahiti lol
totally unisex
smells really good honestly

A cheap synthetic coconut and citrus smell with an overpowered ambroxan smell that smells like the pungent ambergris that my dog rolls in down at the beach. A failed blind buy based off the YouTube reviews. Definitely recommend smelling it before you buy.

Really nice mandarin and vanilla, decently fresh and also sweet. Synthetic coconut but it is well blended in the background and I doubt will cause problems. Very good longevity and projection.

Warm coconut cocktail which everybody would find pleasant (blind buy safe). For the price with discount (20$-35$) it’s really worth it. It lasts around 5-6 hours on my skin with only 4 sprays, yet i have dry skin that decreases the longevity on any perfume, so i predict it would last +2 hours more on you. Try it out.

Good cheapie with decent longevity on skin and clothing.
Ordered this to get over the free shipping amount on notino (it's that cheap where I live). I must say I really liked this in summer and will take it to Thailand in spring as my hot weather scent, since I ordered the smallest bottle available. I have the feeling it'll do well in tropical environments, since it's uplifting and fun.
The coconut is there for me, and yes it smells a bit synthetic, but it blends well with the fresh orange and the amber.
It's kind of a no brainer/dumb reach for the warmer months, even with all of it's sweetness.

Smells a bit like Versace Eros on the dry down. But I feel like Cool Water is slightly intense (no pun intended).

It smells like a tropical holiday in the Carribbeans 🍹☀️.
Gorgeous bombastic scent 10/10.

These reviews are getting worse and worse:
- one dude "bought a 100ml bottle" obviously there is no 100ml only 40, 75, 125ml
- one dude wants, ironically "more coconut"
- more people saying is similar to Eros or to Dylan Blue in 90% proportion - no, it's not!

It is a well blended, well made, better than all arab stenches from past years... fresh and solid, lasting cheapie!
It smells decent and nobody will say anything bad.

6/10
Would give any Lataffa, Hanalabanala, Abudullahana, clones... ALL DAY CLASS!

Lasts decently 4-10hrs and projects for 2-3 hours really good.

Stop this BS, this is a great fragrance for the price and wipes the floor with clones and others!

This perfume doesn’t smell anything special when you sniff up close. But I noticed after using it for many years, it leaves a very nice scent trail . Very nice indeed, very ambery and dark scent trail.

There was a lot of hyper around Davidofff Coolwater and I ended up buying this blindly. Pretty good, the coconut is unique, it performs admirably for something that smells fresh. It's a fresh out of the shower scent, however nothing that stands out or demands attention. A solid everyday wear, however nothing that is going to be noticed a lot.

A while back i wrote a bad review but this has grown on me. Should have more coconut in it, quite synthetic you can really feel that.

Mediocre, miss the original from 1988. This is just Okey. smell wise not my favourite. Coconut not really there more of a sharp smell. Dont know when it shines the most. Winter at home maybe. its a meh for me.

A Solid Clone of Rochas Lhomme - Davidoff Cool Water Intense Review
⭐⭐⭐☆☆

Davidoff Cool Water Intense is a solid release from the house of Davidoff, but don’t expect it to be anything like the legendary Cool Water, which is a timeless classic. This fragrance is more like a clone of Rochas Lhomme, with some hints of Oriflame Eclat Homme Sport. If you want to know more about the scent itself, you can read my review on Rochas Lhomme.

The main notes of this fragrance are pineapple, amber, and sea notes. I don’t get any coconut from it, unlike Jacques Fath Curacao Bay, which is a coconut bomb. However, the pineapple note gives it some resemblance to Creed Aventus, which is a popular niche fragrance. This fragrance is likely to get you compliments, as it has a pleasant and fresh aroma.

The performance of this fragrance is above average, as it lasts for at least 6 hours on my skin, with good projection for the first 2 hours. I would give it 4 stars if Rochas Lhomme didn’t exist, as it is very similar to it. If you like Versace Eros, you might also like this fragrance, as they both have a sweet and fruity vibe. This fragrance is a good blind buy worthy blue aromatic release, especially if you are looking for something affordable and versatile.

This is the perfect budget scent for a guy.
If you dont want to spend much money on perfume but still want to smell good this is it versitile works in every season even winter. strong and lasts a while. a no brainer for the privce
ovr: its a 10/10 just for the price.

smells very good for the price

Yeah you will smell good but not amazing .
Considering its price this is a W .
preformance is good (2h+ projection , 7h+ longetivity ) .

Synthetic coconut, for me this is aromatic also kinda balsamic kinda dislike, so bad scent kinda give me nausea. Performance are moderate on me, maybe it could be long lasting when you overspray it. 5/10

Cool indeed, fresh, very classy, and a decent fragrance... I get a mild creamy base with a fresh, nice manly feel, but I don't specifically detect coconut... it's more like a smooth, delicate, citrusy fragrance like creamy citrusy ice cream, something like that.

I believe it's amazing for all occasions... Seriously, it's like a 🃏 it's cooling and uplifting for the morning, office, and all casual occasions....The delicacy in the dry-down also makes it perfect for date night or intimate time... It's a soft, citrusy, not bright, tart, or zingy fragrance.... A very gentlemanly basic fragrance...

I tested it on a paper strip, unsure about the longevity and performance.

It's an 8.5/10 big 💘 blind buying safe👍

TLDR : Good daily, cheap, dark fresh, coconut on dry down, projects for 3 hours

On the dry down the fragrance becomes basically non existant to as i have to put my nose to clothes or skin that i spray this onto, however, the dry down does make the coconut really stand out.
In the opening it smells very fresh, not fruity or sweet but fresh and not minty, all i smell in the opening amber.
It lasts very long on my skin and projects very well until 3 hours when it almost seems it just suddenly stops.
Very cheap, i got a 100ml and not afraid to overspray, good to keep as a daily.
In my opinion this is all seasons although i see people say this is a day summer, its a winter night for me.

Sometimes you just want to smell something that makes you happy. Cool Water Intense is one of those fragrances that will lift your spirits and make you feel good. Some say "Summer in a bottle", and I can definitely understand that point of view. Is CWI ground breaking? No. Is it filled with natural elements that only the finest noses will appreciate? No.

Let's be honest with each other here: when it comes to niche hobbies like fragrances, some "enthusiasts" get to be snob-level and they can't see the forest for the trees. We all entered this hobby because we like to smell good, and we like scents that make us happy - scents that we enjoy. Can you really look me in the eyes and truthfully tell me you want to smell like a bat cave full of civet and burning oud? Come on people. Nobody WANTS to smell like that, and better yet, ABSOLUTELY NOBODY wants to smell that ON YOU. If you're buying those fragrances - and you know which house I'm referencing here - it's because you're trying to be edgy. Pause for a moment, take a deep breath, remember how you got here.

Along the way on that journey to the "Cave of Horrendous Scents" it was many bottles of similar scents to Cool Water Intense. Why? Because it SMELLS DAMN GOOD. It is fresh, "blue", mildly sweet, with creamy coconut balancing the sweetness. It isn't an Almond Joy coconut, but more of a coconut butter body lotion vibe. Yeah, it has ambroxan in it. Yeah, it has a darker deeper citrus note. Sandalwood for sure, and maybe a hint of freesia. But CWI still has that original Cool Water DNA in it - and I love that. It projects really well for the first 2 hours, and it lasts a good 6 - 8 hours, which is excellent, considering the price. I was able to get a 4.2oz tester for under $50 USD at the time of writing this. Certainly, that is a bargain.

The best part is that Cool Water Intense is definitely unique enough to stand out as having its own vibe. So there you have it folks. It smells fantastic, it projects well, it lasts long, it's cheap, and it's unique. What else can you want from a fragrance?

Better try this frag on your skin before buying. Got it blindbuy and got a weird allergy (doesn’t happen with others I have in my collection). But overall it’s a good freshy with a bit of depth and amazing longevity.

Definetly go for anyone, safe frags
but not fancy at all
smell just okay and cheap

7.4/10

I find the experience of wearing it as etherial , all the summer memories….the fragrance stayed with me throughout the whole season . Was definitely a signature one for a significant amount of time. Bought it three times and will soon buy it again . Truly a masterpiece .

Great cologne for cheap price
Work best in spring and fall
But i ware it all year around
Compliment getter with good performance
10/10
One my favourite fragrances
I got mutiple bottles
Smell is awesome
Price is cheap

I picked this up as a random grab from my local drugstore. Absolutely stunned by how well this performs. I only need to spray this three times and it can last up to 10 hours with great sillage. The smell is a little synthetic but not in a way that makes it smell not good. The only thing I don't really like is that the fragrance isn't super complex and the performance makes it relatively hard to layer with other fragrances (One spray of this overpowered 4 sprays of 4 different fragrances lol). All things considered, highly recommend this because it's cheap, performs well and can easily work in most seasons.

The last thing I would call this edp is "summer fragrance". All I get is sweetish boring amber. Davidoff is almost identical to Armaf Ombre Oud Intense.

One of my longest lasting summer scents. Beautiful citrus and very easy to wear. Much more unique than the normal cool water but it’s nothing unusual. Similar vibes to Dylan blue in my opinion. Davidoff atomizers are beautiful. 9/10 definitely recommend

Intense has grown on me - I’m on my third bottle since it was released and I’m appreciating it more than I did previously.

After the first 20 minutes or so, once the mandarin has died down it becomes linear - a sweet fresh clean fragrance with some soapiness. Very good performance, all season, good for casual and office wear (adjust number of sprays accordingly).

Nice bottle - of course the same as the classic Cool Water EDT but in a darker shade of blue. The usual top notch Davidoff atomiser.

Excellent value - can be found for a very affordable price at reputable online retailers.

Just got a bottle of this. I'm not getting the beastly performance it's known for, nor do I get any coconut at all. I get mint for some reason, and a citrus note, a mix of a blue and green scent profile. Smells like shaving foam if I'm honest and it reminds me strongly of something I've smelled before, my brain is saying it's a CK or Versace scent but I can't quite put the dots together yet.

Off to the cold dark cupboard of doom it goes to macerate until spring.

Excellent and Amazing smell.. Remind me the smell of Versace Eros.. Very very close

This, for me is an extremely versatile frag, pretty much all seasons. With CW Intense, I go easy on the trigger, still great performance, longevity and at a great price. I have a small handful of frags being signature material. CW Intense along with Dunhill Icon is at the very top. The latter being most suited for Office IMO.
EDIT: Ok, so I'm pretty hyped right now, layering two sprays CW Intense with a spray of Armani SWY EdT, for getting a bit more sweet/warm spicyness for the coming colder months. Seems to play out well for me, longevity-wise, too.

Marin Kristic from Scent Grail advises this for a summer evening. I agree as it’s a little bit tropical, syrupy and inviting.

Very long lasting. I did smell it on my neck the next morning when I woke up with just 1 spray. It's unique in a good way and in a bad way.

If you wore cool water the original you need time to get on this as well.

The sillage is projecting without a doubt more than average.

If you walk in a hallway, they are going to notice you.

It's very powerful scent and can overwhelm some people if you go to school, university or crowded workspace.

I recommend it for teenagers and adults in the range of 16 - 36.

If you buy this, 2 sprays on the neck and you are more than powerful for the whole day.

Best buy for everyday use. 30e for 125ml is just a steal.

At first, the start is rough, very strong and piercing smell that can even hurt the nose.

After a while on the skin it smells a lot better, sweet pleasant smell that projects well.

It is worth the price in my opinion, i blind bought it and i like it a lot.

If you are into a sweet clean smell definitely a buy.

Nuclear performance, borderline naseus so spray responsibly!
Extremely easy and straightforward composition which gives versace eros/ ysl y vibes. Mix of freshness and sweetness (the sweetest of the mentioned 3).
Overall great for a cheapie, it gives amazing reactions and people seem to love it, for me it's really strong and I can't really find myself wearing it during daytime too much. It seems like a perfect club scent tbh. Overall a solid recommendation but don't expect anything suave

Very strong and lasts forever but not offensive or complex. Right off the bat my one friend said it smelled like Versace Eros. My other friend described a freshly showered gentleman on a date. I think it smells like if there was a Davidoff Hot Water EDP. Not aquatic at all. Deffinatly going in that citrus amber sugary vanilla direction that "blue" fragrances are rapidly evolving towards. Versace blue jeans meets Versace Eros flame and had a love child that Davidoff adopted. I personally LOVE IT. Smells expensive but basic so to me it's the modern age in fragrance form. It's art. Take it as you wish.

I like it. I think this could be a year round scent. Modern blue fragrance with slight sweetness along with the freshness.

It's too sweet that it's cloying. More than 2 sprays and I get nauseous.

Dominant notes are sugary citrus and amber notes. Coconut note comes in third but it's not the primary thing you smell.

The only thing worth praising this scent for is its performance. Literal beast mode, lasts 12+ hours and projects 3+ feet all throughout the duration.

Don't blind buy this! If you are curious, just get a small decant or sample first if you can.

Disgusting.

The fruity parts are very synthetic, and the amberwoody base is the final nail in the coffin, so incredibly tacky and cloying.

Yes, it performs like crazy, but damn it’s unbearable.

Ambery, coconut, and somewhat tropical. A go to high heat fragrance as this can hold up to the heat without being nauseating in any way. Could be a year round fragrance but I feel it has a vibe not as well suited to colder weather. Basic but pleasing and performance is fantastic on my skin. Probably won't "wow" you but there is something about this one that keeps me coming back to it.

This one clearly must have been reformulated because the 2019 batch and early 2020 batch I have are very, very strong. In the reviews below, everyone over the last year is saying how performance is mediocre at best. If it has been reformulated, shame on them.

Bought this mainly because it was advertised as strong in projection and longevity and it didn't disappoint.
At least my batch has overwhelming projection and longevity. It stays super long on my skin and on my sweater it stayed until I washed it (which was a very long time).

I am not a fan of the scent though. I'd say this is more for dudes in late teens/early 20s.

Just bought a bottle of this for $39 AUD and I'm absolutely thrilled. I am so impressed that I'm starting to think that I might prefer this over Dior Sauvage and Bleu de Chanel. The mandarin/orange note is lovely. If you're looking for a fragrance on a budget that delivers, this is for you.

Decent smell, it's very sweet and heavy on amber, it doesn't smell similar at all to the original cool water, it's sweeter and less fresh.

I only wear it to the office or when i workout it's just not special enough for dating, clubbing or going out in general.

Performance is amazing honestly for the price it lasts around 7 hours on me and projects like a beast for atleast 4 hours, i bought it at $33 for 125ml bottle.

I would recommend it only if you have other fragrances, you can't rely on that one for all occasions.

Very good and interesting smell and although it smells like a lot of other mass appealing smells it also has some uniqueness as well !

This opens up very powerful with a blast of rope green mandarin and that amber is very apparent making this fresh,creamy and sweet(but not too much) in the mid the coconut comes out making this a bit more creamy but it only has that effect and if you didn’t know this had coconut you wouldn’t know this note was added. The drydown you get mostly the amber with the green mandarin still in the drydown and at this stage it loses all sharpness and is almost in gourmand territory! The drydown is my favorite part and at this stage it smells like a mixed drink I tried in Jamaica !!

I’d say in a nutshell this is a heavy,tropical type scent that again is very potent so no more than 3 sprays and in the summer id suggest only 1 spray.

This is a perfect going out scent but because of the sweetness and strength I don’t think it will be a good casual day to day scent and I would for sure stay away from this in an office setting.

Performance- AMAZING performance as this projects beast mode for 1 hour and still very heavily up until the 3 hour mark. After the 3 hour mark it’s still a noticeable skin scent that will leave a heavy sillage trail. This stuff lasts me 24+ hours and will stay on skin until I take a shower.

Overall rating -7.5 out of 10 ! Surprisingly good scent from Davidoff with amazing performance but because of that beastly performance loses points for versatility

Cool Water Intense does not resemble the OG in any way, but for me, that's fine. I've used it most as a base scent sprayed to the chest under my shirt and it finds its way to the surface to color whatever other fragrance I choose to wear outwardly throughout the day. It's longevity is superior to the original and its sillage is playful and quite appealing to a young adult crowd. It's rather versatile and should not be overlooked because of its cheap price or mistaken to be like the OG. I've only given it away to help my nephews get started in the game with a fragrance that I truly enjoy, but I'll definitely be buying it again. It's straightforward and though not very exciting, it is likened to a staple that may be appropriate for any collector's stash~

I'm letting this one macerate for a month or two. Doesn't seem to be a lot of strength to it

Tried this at a local store. On my skin I get a D&G The One amber drydown with a fresh/green mandarin twist. Not headache inducing or overly sweet at all. Unique enough to add a bottle to my collection.

Davidoff Cool Water Intense bears little resemblance to the original Cool Water, but that doesn't diminish its appeal. The original Cool Water immerses you in the ocean waves, while Cool Water Intense transports you to a vibrant beachside cocktail bar, creating a different ambiance and experience.

This fragrance is incredibly versatile, suitable for both men and women. It delivers excellent value for its price, making it a great investment. Furthermore, it has the potential to be a hidden gem for layering with other scents, allowing for creative and personalized fragrance combinations.

For the price 10/10

I blind bought a 40 ml its just a super strong cloying sweet synthetic suncreen cologne all the notes just mush and mix together cant really tell anything apart what notes this what notes that what notes are what. A dumb reach no brainer wear anytime don't spray to much kinda headache inducing its alittle similar to eros if you're new into cologne and want something that'll last thats not worth much shure i recommend

This is honestly my favorite scent. Pefectly sweet, fresh, creamy, and smooth. I do agree it's similar to eros, but what I like about this is its versatility. I feel that it's an all season, anytime of day scent. The sweetness defiently carries it into the colder months, but probably more of an indoor than outdoor scent at that time. Summer, spring, and fall is a no brainer for this. Easy reach imo. Value is great too, got my bottle 2 years ago and have no regrets. If you have the chance to test before you buy, I would say so as your liking may change to your prefrences/age. But imo this is an easy blind buy if it fits what you like. Great performance, great scent, great value.

I like it, but it doesn't match up to the original in terms of scent. It's kind of soapy which isn't bad, but it does make it hard to smell the things that make regular Cool Water appealing.

I want this.

The difference between this and eros let me explain,

Eros has vanilla & mint, it's fresher

Cool water intense - it has the same tonka and sweetness as eros, the main difference is coconut instead of vanilla and no mint. Instead of mint they use citrus which makes this smell more like a lime & coconut tropical fragrance. Eros is not tropical smelling but this is. This is what ever lime & coconut fragrance wishes it smelled like. If you want that tropical holiday drinking coconuts on the beach type smell this is it...with tonka added in it. Tonka ain't going to be everyones cup of tea so keep that in mind

With that said, yes you could say it smells like eros in some ways but you can also say it's completely different

Reminds me of Eros for sure. I don’t really smell the coconut, the comparison to le beau seems a lil crazy to me. It is nice for the price.

A lot like Versace Eros with toned down sweetness and more mint, does explain a little about the name "cool water". The initial spray has more fruits and dries down to a moderately sweet, amber wood, ambroxan, mint fragrance. Not bad at all for a cheap price, it does smell mass appealing but a little too familiar with blue fragrances. Coconut wise, its not that strong, more of a fruity sweet coconut dessert perhaps.

What a great fragrance. At the moment this retails for around $45 in Australia, which given its longevity and performance, it's a no-brainer. It's worth a blind buy. Why? It's an incredibly safe fragrance. Fresh, creamy, sweet and mass appealing with high versatility. It's also got character - it evolves and has a bit of spiciness in the dry down which gives it a richer, gourmandy feel. I believe it does suffer for carrying the Cool Water brand name, given it has no similarities. I also believe once its discontinued, clone houses will be all over this scent profile.

nuclear performance can u imagine after 24 hours and just 2 sprays it still projects off my shirt ?
this perfume is a huge hidden gem

This one is warmer and more versatile than the OG CW. Really a frag for any occasion and season. The amber is very prominent, with a touch of citrus and coconut (though for me the cononut isn't that strong). Overall a manly scent just like the original with a good balance of sweetness and freshness. Great value for money imo as the performance is very good.

Wonderful ambery scent. Quite unique I would say. Could still smell it on my wrist after my showers. Worth the price paid. A total different smell compared to DCW

Would I recommend it?

Yes, in terms of longevity, this is a beast for its price point it easily lasts me 6-8 hours on my skin. It should also be noted that the smell is completely irrelevant to the original Cool Water, I think this is a lot more versatile than its predecessor as this could be worn throughout all seasons. However, I am not a big fan of the smell, it smells like a mixture of a shower gel and a swimming pool locker room after it's cleaned (as mentioned by one of the reviews below). Personally, I don't particularly dislike it but I don't love it either, but overall it's reasonably a solid fragrance just simply not for me.

Really nice amber smell. Great for anytime use. If you see this cheap get it.

The dry down scent trail on this on a mild summers evening is amazing. I was on the fence with this at one stage but it has definitely won me over.

This reminds me of Sauvage more than the OG. I happen to like Sauvage and I like this one a lot. It is fresh, green and a little citrusy. More versatile and classy than the original which is more appropriate as a casual gym cologne. . This one can be worn anywhere. A real mood elevator.
