Davidoff Cool Water Man Summer Edition 2019
What is there to say?
Cool Water Man Summer Edition 2019 by Davidoff is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for men and is another flanker of the original Cool Water. I had forgotten how good it was until I rediscovered this latest reissue! And to be honest, it’s impossible for these flankers to change their character, even if they will try very hard, no one can change their innate DNA. Smells so minimally different that it really isn't any different. I have a weird thing for Cool Waters so I had to add this one to the collection. It's not my favorite of flankers from the House of
Davidoff but it's still enjoyable. For those who might be a bit tired of the original, if that's even possible. One may yet have a little summer play with this flanker instead, for one summer at least. I'm a total Cool Water addict. Have been since the early 90s and these special editions smell amazing.
The immediate hit of
Calone is Cool Water’s trademark. This is what creates a comprehensive aquatic scent. Though, it is not accompanied by a discernible lavender bouquet and other cool aromatics of the original. It opens with a slightly spicy mint before quickly drying down to mostly a juniper and water scent which reminds me of nice beach experience. Although citrus fruits accord, resulting from the blend of tangerine, grapefruit, and lemon, is a fitting description for this overall fresh sensation, there are underlying hints of minty and spicy notes.
The citrus dries off leaving only the mint and aquatic scents from the head. The heart appears with an herbaceous bouquet of basil and sage leaves. Deep notes of juniper berries are present as a reminder that we’re dealing with a rich, masculine fragrance. It's the original Cool Water with a heftier dose of mint.
The mint freshness maintains the cool texture as we probe into the base. This is reinforced by sharp notes of sandalwood, which contrast with a warm musky presence. The musk is undeniably aldehydic with a fatty finish, which ensures that stays more animal than amber. Here and there I get some similarities with Dior Sauvage without the overwhelming
Ambroxan.
Throughout, the aquatic notes are not only present but overarching. However, it does evolve with the dry down starting with neatness that evokes shaving foam and finishing with a deep creaminess closer to suntan lotion.
In terms of seasonality,
Cool Water Man Summer Edition 2019 is a quintessential summer fragrance. Its ocean breeze notes exude seaside nightclubs, summer cocktails and the sand between your toes at sunset. For this reason, it’s an ideal fragrance to wear in the evening rather than the day. That said, the scent wouldn’t feel out of place when at the wheel of a convertible under the beating sun. Consequently, it’s more of a casual fragrance that would struggle in the workplace or during more formal occasions. Instead, reserve it for nights out or evening social gatherings.
When spraying Cool Water onto your neck, you can virtually hear the waves crashing against the rocks. It’s an undeniably iconic fragrance that is evocative of imagery like Corvettes speeding into the sunset to synth music. It pairs well with summer nights out and wouldn’t be out of place on vacation.
