Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Cool Water Woman EDT
A 90s classic that bottles pure aquatic freshness with a splash of juicy melon and flowers. Effortlessly clean and breezy, this is the definition of a just-showered, summer-holiday scent.

Our Verdict - Refreshing Aqua EDP
Refreshing Aqua recreates Davidoff Cool Water Woman, the breezy 90s aquatic floral. It captures the watery-melon freshness and clean lily-of-the-valley heart that made the original a staple, and since Cool Water itself wears light and close, the dupe's skin-near, modest-longevity character lands quite faithfully for the price.
