Which Should You Buy?
The quintessential aquatic-fresh masculine, Cool Water's mint-lavender-sea water blast is still an unbeatable icon for daily wear. Effortless, breezy, and endlessly clean, it remains a go-to for summer and sport.
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.

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