Which Should You Buy?
This one is a proper head-scratcher. It's a polarising perfume, with some hailing its fresh, minty punch and others running for the hills from its 'pissy' or 'barnyard' undertones. Performance is a common complaint, so don't expect it to last for much more than a few hours.
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.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, aromatic nature leans towards casual wear, particularly in warmer weather. While some find it suitable for the office due to its eventual skin-scent performance, its divisive opening and poor longevity make it less ideal for formal or date settings where sustained presence is desired. It performs well as a quick summer pick-me-up or for sport.
