Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cool Water EDT
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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Cool Water - 118 EDP
No. 118 recreates Davidoff Cool Water's mint-lavender-marine freshness closely on the opening, though the musk-wood base is simpler and fades sooner than the original's enduring aquatic-woody signature.
