The King Among Waters
Young people today can hardly imagine what it was like back in the 90s when this men's perfume hit the market. People always talk about the Aqua Di Gio hype. I was there, and it was nothing compared to Davidoff's Cool Water. CK One hype? Just a mild breeze compared to the meteorite impact that Davidoff made with Cool Water. I am now 45 and can say that no men's fragrance in my perception has ever made such an impact as this scent. No Aventus, no sweet Le Male Plürre, nothing. And rightly so.
Everything, absolutely everything about this fragrance fits perfectly together. The scent is the "Sweet Child o' Mine" of men's perfumes. It is perfect!
The smell matches the name, and vice versa; the deep ocean-blue bottle fits both. The advertising was hardly to be surpassed in perfect accuracy. Similar to Heaven by Chopard.
The bottle is handy, looks damn good, and the lettering is the icing on the cake of perfection.
Or better said, from front to back: A masterpiece.
When the fragrance came out, everyone bought it. And I mean really everyone had Davidoff Cool Water. And the best part was, nobody cared. The stuff was so good, you just had to smell like it. Cool Water was so good that various shower gel, deodorant, and soap companies immediately released a product that smelled like this fragrance milestone. ...Unfortunately
Smelling this fragrance is something special. This perfume smells so unique and good that hardly anything surpasses it. Of course, the scent is now over-saturated. It is no longer individual or new. The fragrance doesn’t blow anyone away anymore, how could it, after an entire generation has worn it to death? ...But still: Once a year, I pull out this masterpiece and spray myself with it. Especially in winter, in biting cold, Cool Water really hits the nose. This clear, fresh mint and lavender and cool, sweet aquatic masculine scent cloud that surrounds you is simply divine. When I wear this fragrance, I know I smell good. Especially in winter, I constantly perceive the scent in waves on myself. Something I appreciate in a good fragrance. There is nothing worse than not being able to smell your own scent after 5 minutes. This is one of those fragrances I wish no one had ever smelled, and then I spray it on myself and start the fucking hype.

Hi FragranceArt
Als ich CW im Herbst/Winter 2019 gekauft habe war ich einfach zu begeistert von dem Dufterlebniss ansich und habe das extrem genossen. Im Winter nahm ich die intensiven Duftschwaden gut wahr. Er hielt bei mir lange an. Keine 10 Stunden wie der 80ern aber stabil. Reformulierung fällt erst bei intensiver Nutzung auf.
