Cool Water Eau de Toilette - 125ml

Davidoff Cool Water is one of the most imitated men's fragrances ever made, and the reason is the base rather than the famous fresh opening. Lavender, mint, rosemary and coriander open it. All four are aromatic and cool, with the mint giving that sharp, almost icy clarity the fragrance is known for. There is no citrus at all, which surprises people. Sandalwood, neroli, geranium and jasmine form the heart. Putting sandalwood in the middle rather than the base gives the fragrance an early creaminess, and the neroli and geranium keep it clean and green around it. Musk, oakmoss, cedarwood, tobacco and ambergris finish it. This is the part the imitators missed: oakmoss gives it a damp bitterness, tobacco a dry leafy warmth, and ambergris a salty mineral depth. Without them it would simply be refreshing. How Cool Water wears It lasts a long time and projects strongly for something this fresh. It works in any season and is one of the easiest fragrances to wear at an office. Davidoff Cool Water Eau de Toilette, created by Pierre Bourdon in 1988 for Davidoff, the brand founded in 1911.
