At the beginning of my still small perfume journey, I didn't like this scent. It seemed boring, old, outdated. Generally, fresh fragrances weren't my thing, as everything started for me with a sweet gourmand. I was surprised that one could smell so "delicious" on purpose, so I initially wanted to explore more of that area, and all the fresh scents were boring to me.
At some point, however, you have enough sweet stuff, and you long for something light. Especially in summer, with mostly sweet fragrances, it sometimes happens that you prefer not to wear anything rather than a very sweet scent. So I was looking for something that could accompany me even in high temperatures. Something that you can just spray on without thinking about it. It won't bother anyone, it won't become too much for me at some point, it's always and everywhere applicable. The true value of "freshies" only became clear to me after over a year in this "hobby." Today, I am lucky to have filled my small collection with a few fresh scents, so even though the decision is already a bit difficult now, I can find something suitable to wear for every occasion and situation.
Among them is also "Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) | Davidoff," which is by far the most aquatic scent of all the fragrances I have tested so far. The name is really well chosen for that, as it smells like I imagine water in my mind. Or how I imagine those advertising images of it might smell. In reality, it's a bit different because no sea, lake, or river will smell like Cool Water. Nevertheless, it has become a very great scent for me. It is not a purely "blue" scent, as all the well-known "blue" fragrances (designer area) smell different in my opinion. As listed in the notes here, there are also green tones that you perceive. Water is not just blue. Here, I personally find, unlike well-known designer "blue fragrances," no sweet, spicy, or familiar shower gel notes that you usually know from YSL Y, Versace Pour Homme, Dylan Blue, Sauvage, Legend Spirit, etc. This is pure, aquatic, adult, not playful, serious freshness. This one really refreshes in hot temperatures. I certainly don't have as much fun wearing this scent as I do with a well-known "blue fragrance," but this one finds its place in my life, especially on very hot days, on more serious, quieter days or evenings. It really doesn't project strongly, but it absolutely doesn't have to. I mainly wear this scent for myself; it calms me. It gives me a feeling of more control and overview. It is serious, adult, refreshing, calming, sovereign, clean, not playful. Dark blue and dark green. :)
I am very glad that after 1-2 years of only sweet fragrances, I dared to venture into fresh scents again and was honestly surprised that I like Cool Water so much after this time. My opinion about it used to be much shorter, more thoughtless, and dismissive. This scent has aged really well for its age and still feels timely today. I can't say that about many fragrances that are so "old." *Cough* Blue Jeans *Cough* Besides the scent, the bottle is also really beautiful and elegant, even though it is so simple. I really like the shape and the edges. It sprays absolutely fine. It's not the best atomizer, but there are definitely worse ones. The price/performance ratio here is very satisfying. Top. We like it.
