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.
No.135 chases Davidoff's original 1988 Cool Water for men - mint, rosemary and lavender over an oakmoss-and-musk base. It keeps that unmistakable oceanic-aromatic freshness, though the base loses some of the original's mossy depth and the whole thing fades a touch quicker on skin.

Seasons
Cool Water shines brightest in spring and summer thanks to its uplifting aquatic, mint, and lavender freshness. The light, breezy structure gets lost in cold air but feels perfectly invigorating in warmer temperatures.
Occasions
Its moderate projection and breezy clean profile make it ideal for office, casual, and even sporty scenarios. It is less suited for formal occasions where greater depth or opulence is expected.
