It's not Cool Water, please move along, there's nothing to see here
What a relief, I could sniff this fragrance blindfolded, you would never ever smell Cool Water even remotely in this.
It's not an intense Cool Water, it has nothing to do with it. Maybe the contents should have been filled into a different bottle with a different name.
It's not a scent for the incense-leather-herb-spice lovers, they can move along.
Maybe the fragrance is even unisex, I think so.
Ah, my wife doesn't like it, I think it's too inconspicuous for her. Well, women.
It reminds me of powder applied after sunscreen. Strange combination? Maybe, I think it's totally great.
It also doesn't contain any Sauvage-Dylan Blue freshness, one quickly thinks back to the original Cool Water when seeing the bottle, but that's not the case.
The lady who created this fragrance must be famous for some real hits. If you like her style, you can roughly imagine what to expect here.
It's not too sweet, everything fits like a lid on a pot.
Performance is almost uncanny for a Davidoff, you haven't really known that well in recent years.
Give it a try, since selling all my fragrances, I've gotten this one again, that says something about me.

The Scent That Remains
Yes, I parted with about 25 fragrances and sold them all here in the souk, including the legendary (currently mediocre) Body Kouros, Dior Homme Intense, and Dior Sauvage. Even the great Hawas Rasasi had to go, my wife can't stand it. So, which scent do you keep when you have to choose a great fragrance? Does the crazy guy take the disgustingly sweet Pure Havane? And that in summer, spring, autumn, and winter? One scent? What a loser!
No, friends, it is totally relaxing to have just one great scent! You can still smell it yourself even after weeks, which was my fear that it would be different!
Pure Havane is not too sweet for me when properly dosed. I definitely had sweeter ones in my collection. You have to like this Mugler DNA. Or hate it. There’s nothing in between. At first, I couldn't handle it, it was too heavy for me, maybe also sprayed too strongly. I'm not a fragrance pro, I don't know what I smell in Pure Havane all the time, definitely not cherry. Longevity is extreme for me, the other fragrances on the shelf have already moved aside out of respect. (Except for the Hawas, that was near the Mugler).
I haven't heard anything negative about this scent either. And I have a job where I come into contact with people quite often.
Unfortunately, I can't describe it, things like "in the base note, styrax combines with amber and the patchouli from the heart note unites the two into a perfect combination that accompanies the wearer all day long!" I simply cannot do.
Apparently, the Insurrection Wild II by Reyane Tradition is a scent twin. No way, the Mugler DNA is missing from that fragrance.
For me, this is a scent with a high recognition value, not a bad trait for a signature scent.
Many here in the forum currently only have Aventus, Vetiver, or Oud on their minds. Tried everything, none of it is for me. Maybe I wear this scent just because my wife likes it so much. And the poor woman had to sniff out several decants from the souk. ("Here, this one!" "Smell here..... no, further down, that's the other scent!" You know how it is)
And even if, I'm happy with it. That's what counts. Just give it a try. One scent. All year round.
Of course, my interest in new fragrances is not gone because of this.

Well done, Rasasi!
I don't even remember how I came across this fragrance, but I don't regret it at all; I am thrilled with this little potion. Yes, I love scents that don't cost the earth, and Hawas is one of them. Comparisons to Chanel Allure Homme Eau Extreme are complete nonsense, often seen in the statements here. It definitely smells different, not even close. Maybe there is a similarity to the despised Invictus Aqua, which I don't know.
To me, the fragrance smells synthetic, clean with a very light melon-pear note. But just a little. Freshness comes into play, but not the Sauvage-Dylan Blue-Bleu de Chanel freshness, more of a "melon-like freshness," very hard to describe. Not sweet, not bitter, not spicy. A scent that you can always have around you. I look at the Hawas fragrance pyramid with fascination; to me, the top note smells just like the base, no change in scent. I don't even find that disadvantageous. I don't detect cinnamon, violet, etc. at all.
I have rarely had a fragrance that lasts so incredibly long; my nose discovers the scent again and again throughout the day, many fragrances in this price category don't achieve that for me. (Examples with comparable longevity: Mugler Pure Havane, Bentley for men intense, Dior homme intense. Slightly worse longevity would be Chanel Allure Homme Eau Extreme and Dior Sauvage. And those two are already longevity powerhouses. And all fragrances except Bentley are almost twice as expensive.) On clothing, Hawas lasts extremely long, almost annoyingly long.
Wearers of bitter, spicy, smoky fragrances will definitely hate this scent.
I wouldn't call this a pantydropper, at least my wife keeps her underwear on; she doesn't like it that much. (So you can guess where I got the Mugler from). But what do I know, I'm 38. ;)
Conclusion: Clean scent with a hint of melon and a lighter hint of pear. A green pear, not the yellow mushy ones.
Aquatic it is not; aquatic for me would be Cool Water, Nautica, etc.
As of 01.11.17: Through a search engine and price comparison, it's almost 20% cheaper than on the regular homepage of not...o., 100ml for €43.
