“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
