Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cool Water Frozen EDP
Davidoff Cool Water Frozen is a divisive flanker, with some hailing it as a lighter, more herbal version of the original and others finding it a pale, short-lived imitation. It's a 'lost gem' for some, a 'disappointment' for others.

Our Verdict - Cuba Prestige Black EDT
It's a £10 fragrance that smells like a £10 fragrance. You get a cheap, clean, soapy scent that'll do a job, but don't expect miracles. Great for spraying around the house or lending to a teenager, but not much else.

Season and Occasion Fit

Cool Water Frozen

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its fresh, aromatic nature makes it perfect for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and ideal for sports. Moderate performance prevents it from being a strong contender for formal occasions or dates, but it's pleasant enough for the office.

Cuba Prestige Black

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office

Its clean, soapy profile with limited projection makes it suitable for casual wear and daily refreshers like post-gym. However, it lacks the sophistication needed for dates or formal events, and many reviews highlight its 'out of the shower' or 'dryer sheet' vibe.
