Cool Water adapted to the current trend
Cool Water Wave - a fragrance I've had on the radar for a long time. The original is a classic that everyone should know. Meanwhile I'm getting on in years and rather something for the scent museum. Some die-hard fans may still be wearing it, but this extremely famous DNA is slightly worn out. Even though the original is relatively timeless, I want to wear it less.
The Cool Water series is now very large and new flanker and limited editions are added every year. Some good ones are there, but rather solid to insignificant. Hot water is another flanker, which I like best. Otherwise no real must-haves.
I've had my eye on this one for a long time. Especially since Francis Kurkdjian is one of three perfumers. Anyone who reads my comments knows that I value his works very much, in the designer industry but also under his own name. I was curious how he interpreted Cool Water.
I bought 40ml at a fair price. You can already get it in many shops for less than 20 euros. The bottle is very attractive and has a beautiful light blue colour. Matching the Wave concept. Otherwise rather simple.
That this fragrance belongs to the Cool Water family is something you can smell right from the start. The DNA is well perceptible. This special aquatic freshness in the background is clearly visible, but has been complemented here by a modern maritime synthetic note. For the typical new release nagger, that will be nothing.
At the beginning a maritime note starts, paired with grapefruit and this typical cool water flair. A pleasant but also synthetic freshness. Even subtle fruity and spicy notes are easily perceptible. The base recedes gently and usually. Especially fresh sandalwood ensures a gentle fresh dry-down. This flanker reminds me of a mixture of the original Cool water paired with Dunhill Icon Racing / Versace pour Homme Dylan blue. In this respect, nothing really new and extraordinary. Good to carry without real highlights.
This Flanker is not just for summer days. For me also good in everyday life and for sports activities to carry. Might go down well without really scandalizing.
The performance is quite good in the price range. It lasts about 5 hours without any problems. The Sillage is good at the beginning and from 2 hours a little bit over very closely. If you are looking for better performance, you should buy the more expensive Dunhill Icon Racing.
All in all a solid release. An uncomplicated fragrance for a relatively low price.
