Cool Water

Davidoff Cool Water is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1988, created by Pierre Bourdon. Cool Water opens with Sea Water, Green, Lavender, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Neroli, Sandalwood, Jasmine, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Oakmoss, and Tobacco. Davidoff's Cool Water carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

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.

About

Cool Water opens with a crisp surge of sea water, mint, and lavender, instantly conjuring the feel of a refreshing ocean breeze. Green aromatic notes and a hint of calone evoke cool, dewy air, while a floral-woody heart softens the composition. The drydown is subtle and musky, with traces of cedar, oakmoss, and tobacco adding clean masculinity. Its lasting impression is invigorating, casual, and undeniably fresh.
