I really like the original, which is bursting with synthetics and artificiality, and I recently got my hands on a sample of this offshoot. I didn't expect it to surpass the original or even just scratch the surface of its quality, but I definitely expected a bit more...
An absolute average summer scent that fades into the crowd and probably only stands out positively next to body odor on a crowded bus. On top of that, it has an exceptionally weak sillage and a longevity of a maximum of 6 hours even on moderately warm days, which is clearly too little. We won't even start talking about the cheap bottle.
But the most important thing, the scent, is as mentioned nice, but we all know what this is the little brother of. Very melon-heavy, fresh, active, spontaneous, youthful, refreshing, but so weak and unremarkable.
When the Cool Water man strolls along the shore, the Cool Water Game man plays water polo in the pool or beach volleyball with his 16-year-old friends. What smells more masculine, cooler, and better, I don't need to explain further. With Cool Water, you might clash and encounter haters, but it's still better than not getting into a conversation with Game ;-)
Smells like countless CK One Summer Editions, please no more Cool Waters!!!
