Davidoff 1988 EDT
Cool Water
Davidoff Cool Water is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1988, created by Pierre Bourdon. Cool Water opens with Sea Water, Green Notes, 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, a green-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Cool Water shines brightest in spring and summer thanks to its uplifting aquatic, mint, and lavender freshness. The light, breezy structure gets lost in cold air but feels perfectly invigorating in warmer temperatures.
Best Occasions
Its moderate projection and breezy clean profile make it ideal for office, casual, and even sporty scenarios. It is less suited for formal occasions where greater depth or opulence is expected.
