Which Should You Buy?
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.
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.

Cool Water Woman's bright aquatic and watery-fruity notes shine in warm weather, making it ideal for spring and especially summer. Its lightness and lack of warmth or depth make it less suited to cold winter or late fall days.
Occasions
Its discreet projection and fresh, clean character make it perfect for office, casual, and sporty situations. Less appropriate for formal or romantic evening occasions due to its sheer, breezy nature.
Seasons
