Davidoff

Cool Water Intense EDP

2019

The original Cool Water's more modern, slightly coconut-tanned cousin.

A 2019 entry in Davidoff's Cool Water line — Annick Ménardo's launch, a sweeter, more coconut-and-amber take on the aquatic-marine DNA of the original Cool Water. Green mandarin at the top, a coconut nectar heart, settling on an amber base. A spring and summer daytime fragrance.

The take

What works

  • Coconut water-citrus-mint combination is genuinely refreshing
  • Amber base gives it more warmth than the original
  • Budget summer entry that doesn't embarrass itself

Trade-offs

  • Longevity is average — reapply at midday
  • Cool Water DNA means you'll always be in the shadow of the original
