Which Should You Buy?
This discontinued gem is a true crowd-pleaser, perpetually missed by its devotees who hail it as a unique, versatile, 'second skin' scent that garners endless compliments. A few find it too green or 'aftershave-y', but for most, it's liquid gold.
If you're after a fresh, aquatic vibe without breaking the bank, Royale Blue delivers. It's a solid dupe for Davidoff's Cool Water, offering a clean, 'out of the shower' scent that's surprisingly versatile. Don't let the 'for women' tag fool you; this leans comfortably unisex.
