Cool Water Exotic Summer

Cool Water Exotic Summer is decent for what it is but in my opinion none of the flankers have come close to containing what the original has. A fresh scent that is hard to dislike but doesn't have any real wow factor, as groover stated in his review it's a bit better than Coral Reef (which I also own) but is somewhat linear, the original Cool Water begins sharp and fresh but gets a little darker, Exotic Summer just appears then disappears without any real sense of drydown. Needless to say longevity is not its strongsuit. I burned through Coral Reef in about a month of use and I predict the same for Exotic Summer. I guess this is fine as every summer a new version comes out to try (and I always have a large bottle of the original anyway). If you are a fan of Cool Water and can find it on offer might be worth a purchase, otherwise just stick with the original.

To my nose this is pretty much the same as the vanilla version of cool water cologne. The opening is the same but in the dry down I can smell a small difference, it’s subtle but it’s there. To my nose it’s maybe the mint, but it so soft it’s almoat unnoticeable. This is nothing special really. I used to love the original cool water but the more I smell it this day and age and with the stupid reformulations it’s a shell of its former self and there are newer, and better scents out there now. When I sprayed this I started a timer. I was generous with my sprays and applied over my body. Within 1 hour and 40 minutes the scent was gone. That should tell you everything you need to know about the quality of this stuff.

A bit better than the previous summers, not as synthetic and sweet as coral reef into the oceans and summer seas, this one seems a bit fresher, but the lasting power is not much improved over the years.

Cool Water Exotic Summer by Davidoff is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for men. Very fresh, energetic and awake! Very similar to Davidoff Cool Water.

This flanker is a more modern, more fresh, and a bit diluted version of original cool water by Davidoff. It smells very nice but pretty subtle and feels muted. I think the list of notes is not complete because just like the original this is essentially an aromatic fresh scent with Lavender. It is slightly warmer compared to previous flankers that I've smelled. It is very pleasing like other versions of Cool Water and easily gets a lot of compliments. Longevity and projection are OK on my skin.

Excellent flanker, more mellow, toned down and less aggressive version of the original. Perfect for summer, beach and so on. Only downfall is the longevity: 1 hour tops. But it's a really cheap buy and you can't overspray this one, so even that is not a big problem. Bottles of previous versions are nicer, though. Still highly recommended.

Well for me this one lasted around 4 hours which is great for the type of fragrance it is. No complaints, it's fresh and clean and does what it's supposed to do, happy with my purchase

Not too much to say here that hasn't already been said. Not as citrusy, and a little greener than some of the other recent flankers. Reminds me a lot of Aspen but with more depth.

Ok, this summer I will wear it for every day use, it's very fresh and young but the lasting is very very weak, not so bad for the hotter months
