Umm......
It's November, and no one has spoken up yet?
I'm quite disappointed.
Well, I'll start.

On one of those summer evenings in 2018, when it was too warm to move in most regions of Germany, this commercial came on.
The one where beautiful people frolicked in perfect weather in blue water. Cool Water promotion at its best.
In the end, the hint about the new Cool Water Wave.

Um, what now? Wave new?
Can't be, it says here with me. One of my faves.
Newly bottled or what?
What the fuck????????

But this little bottle, this little bottle, this bright blue bottle - the Caribbean poured into glass, I must have it, absolutely.....

So off to the perfume shop I trust, checking the situation.
First test in the turquoise perfumery yields: Delicious, wearable. But it doesn't last long.
No wonder in the hot July of 2018, when sweat devours even the most intense scent

About four weeks later and 8 degrees cooler, I tried it again.
And took the scent with me.
Although I find 30 euros for 30ml Eau de Toilette quite steep....
But this little bottle.......

A few words about the new Wave:
I like this scent.
For an EdT, it lasts surprisingly long - on me, well-moisturized and pampered, up to 8 hours.

As I mentioned earlier in my statement, it is neither Cool nor Water.
When I look at the supposedly contained notes, I recognize little of it.
Lime smells different - at least in a Caipi :)
I can't judge the Japanese pear.
The jasmine and amber create a note of warm orange juice with the rest of the components.
It is beautiful, but not fresh, rather really warm.
It surrounds you, it penetrates you - it has something embracing, comforting, when a woman is feeling down......
A scent for autumn.
If a touch of cinnamon were added, we would have the perfect Xmas scent.

You can buy it, but you don't have to.

"You smell like a marzipan Easter egg," my colleague said to me.
At that moment, I had Cool Water Night Dive on my skin. The version for boys.
Purchased for a bargain price at XXX, where it was mistakenly labeled as a women's fragrance.
I should have been able to tell from the packaging that it wasn't Cool Girls Water, but I went ahead anyway.

It makes me a bit angry that this fragrance has been so harshly criticized so far. It doesn't deserve that.
It's a bit 90s - I remember well that my then crush wore sweet scents like Relax and Background. Today, men are all about Mugler's Amen - a scent I also prefer to smell on women.

I like Night Dive.
Even though I can't recognize much of what is described in the fragrance pyramid.
The mint in the opening is clearly detectable - but it's a "muted" mint, more like chewing gum - spearmint? The fruits are probably more like dried fruits, Cashmeran, which I usually can smell everywhere, I unfortunately can't detect here at all.
Tobacco, suede? Not in my nose.

What remains on the skin has been wonderfully put into words by my colleague: see quote above.
It leaves a sweet accord of marzipan/amaretto aromas, which at least lasts forever on me, and I find it very pleasant - I could bathe in it.

I better add again:
I am a girl - advanced age and generally not averse to men's fragrances.

I would definitely not recommend this scent to any man.
I don't want to smell it on any guy I should take even remotely seriously.
Tougher girls should definitely give it a try - it's better than the whole brigade of floral-oriented girly scents.

Love, Chrischi
