Davidoff Cool Water EDT is a classic Aquatic Scent that has inspired many clones. It was created in the 80s but has not gone forgotten. Lavender, seawater, musk, and green notes create an enticing summertime fragrance.

Let’s jump in if you’re excited to discover Davidoff Cool Water.

Quick Summary

• An aquatic and aromatic-based fragrance
• Has average performance
• Limited to late spring and summer casual wear
• Old-school and mature
• Affordable

What Does Davidoff Cool Water Smell Like?

The opening is ultra-aromatic. This is from a blend of lavender, mint, and other greens. None of these notes specifically stick out over others, as the scent is quite balanced. The general idea is fresh with an invigorating kick. All of this sits on an aquatic background.

After the first few minutes, the scent stays quite similar. The lavender is becoming more prominent, lending a subtle floral and clean nuance. Over time, it comes to dominate the heart of the fragrance. It is important to note that, at this point, it picks up an old-school masculine accent.

Delicate, sweet accents add to the authentic lavender as it develops.

The base has an enticing dose of musk paired with greener aromatic accords from before.

This is definitely a simple and linear scent. There are musky and green accents here and there. However, the primary focus is marine accords playing second fiddle to prominent aromatic tones.

Performance

Cool Water lasts 6 – 7 hours on my skin with light projection. The first 1 – 2 hours, it pushes out a couple of feet. After this period, it recedes closer to the skin, becoming a skin scent.

The biggest performance downside is its limited versatility. It is exclusively summer and late spring wear. It doesn’t have the depth to withstand cold temperatures. As for occasions, it is primarily casual and office wear.

Cool Water has been copied by numerous fragrances. However, in its 90s prime, it was a unique aromatic and aquatic scent. Thus, I’ve scored it quite highly on the uniqueness factor.

Is Davidoff Cool Water Worth It?

Cool Water is limited in terms of versatility and performance. However, a 6.7oz bottle is currently selling for about $30. At this price point, it is definitely worth it. A bottle this size could last you 2 – 3 summers of casual wear.
