I present you a fragrance from my collection and today I would like to talk about a proposal that I think is perfect for the summer season that we are already enjoying. I would like to tell you that normally in summer I go for fragrances in which tropical and fruity notes stand out, but the one I am going to show you today is totally different, since its protagonists are aquatic notes.
However, it is an ideal cologne to wear in summer. By the way, it is not a novelty, on the contrary, the fragrance that I am going to present to you today is already 27 years old, but it is still popular today. In addition, it is a scent that despite being so old and with so many new ones that I have discovered during these years, I still love it and it brings back very good memories. It is Cool Water Woman by DAVIDOFF.
Cool Water Woman by DAVIDOFF is an eau de cologne for women launched in 1996, ten years after the successful launch of Cool Water for men. It is an iconic and intensely refreshing fragrance that allows us to dive into an ocean of infinite freshness and natural beauty, as well as enjoy freedom. It is like a walk on the beach on a sunny day, where the sea breeze gently caresses the skin.
Since it was created in 1996, it has always been at the top of the sales charts in perfumeries in the summer, and when I read this information, I was not surprised at all because it combines the three C's very well: cool, chic and cheap.
The fragrance belongs to the Floral-Aquatic olfactory family and its main accords are fresh, fruity and floral with an aquatic touch and ozonic nuances that were a great novelty at the time. The nose behind this fragrance is Pierre Bourdon, the father of perfumes such as: Magnetism by Escada, Dolce Vita by Dior or Sun by Jil Sander. Bourdon is also the creator of the masculine version of Cool Water.
Its creator, Pierre Bourdon, was inspired by aquatic aromas to create this cologne, and to fill women with vitality, freshness and energy, right from the start with a drop-shaped bottle, representing this freshness, water.
It is a classic cologne designed for a modern and independent woman and is ideal for everyday wear, especially on warm days. The fragrance celebrates the strength and extraordinary beauty of the ocean. It is a unique fragrance that perfectly evokes a refreshing breeze and has captivated women around the world since its launch in 1996.
The scent of this fragrance is very calm and relaxing. It features aquatic notes that remind us of the ocean breeze and fresh sea water with the hint of fruits and woods. When opened, this eau de toilette elegantly combines the delicious notes of juicy fruits such as pineapple, melon, blackcurrant and lemon with the delicate petals of lotus and lily.
The heart of the fragrance is floral and is created by a rich bouquet of jasmine, water lily, lily of the valley, calla lily, red rose and hawthorn, which are complemented by delicate honey. At the end we find sensual musk, vetiver, vanilla and sandalwood, which give the composition depth and appeal. The result is very fresh and aquatic. So the aromatic pyramid of this fragrance is as follows:
Top notes: melon, lotus, lemon, pineapple, quince, calone, lily, black currant.
Heart notes: lotus, water lily, lily of the valley, jasmine, honey, hawthorn blossom, rose.
Base notes: musk, vetiver, raspberry, blackberry, violet root, peach, sandalwood, vanilla.
The bottle of Cool Water Woman by DAVIDOFF has the same elegant shape as all the other fragrances in the Cool Water family for women. Only its color, which in this case is light blue, changes. As for the bottle, it is a minimalist and pure design, which perfectly represents the idea of the cologne.
The fragrance comes in 30ml, 50ml and 100ml sizes. I have the 100ml one whose price is 4000 INR, but right now it is on sale and we can find it at Nykaa for 3900 INR.
In addition, this cologne in a 100 ml bottle can also be purchased in a gift set with a shower gel and a body lotion (both in 75 ml size). Likewise, we can buy the body lotion and the shower gel separately in 150 ml size. I have the shower gel and its price is 1800 INR.
My opinion:
I always tend to opt for fresh scents, I like them a lot. And although in winter it always seems that you want a more intense scent, for me fresh scents are a staple for the whole year, but even more so for summer, when I totally avoid heavy, sweet smells, etc. With so much heat even fresh scents seem to refresh the atmosphere.
That's what happens to me with this cologne, so I think I've made the right choice. I'll show it to you!
I have already told you on several occasions on my blog that I love typical summer fragrances, tropical, fruity and very cheerful. However, Cool Water Woman by DAVIDOFF is not a typical summer cologne, but it is also perfect for the summer season, as it is super fresh and stimulating, with a floral touch.
In addition, it is inspired by the ocean and the sea breeze, which I think is a rather original approach. It is not a simple and straightforward fragrance, quite the opposite. I find it quite complex and with a very interesting woody touch. This aromatic creation is a true tribute to the beauty and freshness of the oceans, and manages to transport us to an aquatic paradise with each spray.
It's true that I've always liked the smell of Davidoff's Cool Water cologne for men, but when I tried this one on myself, the same thing happened to me. I loved its smell, its freshness, its packaging and, as long as we are on the subject, its price.
The first thing I notice when I smell Cool Water Woman is a revitalizing and invigorating sensation thanks to the top notes, such as pineapple, melon, blackcurrant and lemon, which combine to create a citrusy and juicy opening that immediately awakens the senses. It's like diving into the waves of the sea on a hot summer morning.
As the fragrance settles on the skin, I begin to sense the elegant heart notes composed of notes of lily of the valley, jasmine and water lily. These notes add a delicate and feminine floral touch to the perfume, evoking the image of aquatic flowers gently blending in the sea breeze. This floral combination gives “Cool Water Woman” a soft depth and charming femininity.
Finally, the base notes complete the olfactory experience with a blend of vanilla and sandalwood that provide subtle warmth, while musk and white peach add a soft and long-lasting sensuality. The fragrance blends harmoniously with the skin, leaving a delicate but memorable trail in its wake.
One of the most remarkable features of this perfume is its versatility. I find it perfect for both everyday use and special occasions. The freshness and energy it exudes make Cool Water Woman an ideal choice for hot summer days, while its timeless elegance makes it a sophisticated complement for evening events.
Its presentation reminds me of distant tropical paradises just by looking at the box, the freshness that distinguishes it when worn on hot summer days and the lightness with which it can be worn by women of all ages.
As for its longevity, this perfume holds up quite well throughout the day. Although its intensity slightly diminishes after a few hours, the base notes linger softly, leaving a pleasant halo around the wearer. Its sillage is moderate, allowing the fragrance to be perceived without being overwhelming and burdensome.
In short, Davidoff's Cool Water Woman is a classic, timeless and captivating fragrance that captures the essence of marine freshness with a feminine and elegant touch. If you are looking for a light and sophisticated fragrance that is like a refreshing breeze that transports us directly to serene places, this perfume is a good option to consider, especially considering that it has stood the test of time and continues to be appreciated by many women around the world.
