Cool Water Night Dive Woman

I bought it thinking it would be minimally reminiscent of the original CW but it wasn't 🙃 At first spray it smells something strange but pleasant, salty like a sea breeze, or rather, salty like your skin when you leave the water after spending a couple of hours in the sea, yes, that kind of salty aroma💖💖 then... the misfortune... That marine scent disappears without leaving a trace of having been in your skin 😥😥 The rest of the scent is very strange and even masculine to me, like an old man's cologne, I will continue to try it, and just because I am not used to its class of Scents so different. ***************************** 24/02/24 Edit: I've had to swallow my previous sayings letter by letter 🙃🙃🙃 Temperature has a tremendous influence on both performance and the kind of scents that a fragrance conveys to us, just a slightly cooler and somewhat windy day It's been everything this wonderfully summery perfume needed to convince me that I needed it in my life 🥰🥰🥰 That weird smell like grandpa's cologne has completely disappeared 🥰🥰 Which makes me happy, because it was really annoying and even repellent, what I found today when using it has been different from how I perceived it yesterday, it is very refreshing and cheerful, full aroma of summer, sun and beach, long lasting and attractive, I would say even flirtatious and playful 😉😉 Without a doubt, it has completely conquered me🥰🥰 and probably i'm getting an extra pair of this precious scent as back-up😅😅

I have grown into davidoff, in my 20's I couldn't deal with the masculinity but as my nose has evolved, and will probably continue to, I don't detect manliness in davidoff women's perfumes. Night dive is great. I had on night dive and another one, wave I think it was, they are very different. ND is more nighttime, not fresh fruity, pale. ND has a wood creamy floral but not flowery freshness, watery is slight. It has a flattish part maybe the woods are coming through and the creaminess lessens which made it feel flat? An hour or two and the aquatic aspect drifts up into my nostrils. The accords look right, but st the time I couldn't have named what I smelled apart from creamy, fresh wood, floral but not noticeably. It's not thick so to speak, not heavy and night time sort.

Strange thing.. The smell of ocean wave. That's what it must smell like. I love the scent tho it's a lot like a man's fragrance, (though I'm light years from caring really..) too bad it doesn't last, no projection. It's aquatic but not too ripe nor generic and not or flowery, superfresh! it defines "fresh". Different from anything on the market for ladies today, nothing "nighty" about it though. This is a splash of and ocean wave in a 90's black and white music video. Love it but prolly wont buy it due to poor projection.

I have the original Cool Water but I don't use it much, I find it can be quite overwhelming for me and sometimes downright nauseating. I thought I would try this after reading Unearthly Apothecary's review below. This is really, really gorgeous! Even though it has a woody/patchouli thing going for it, it still retains the best part of the original, its freshness! This is an absolute winner for me! Thank you @unearthlyapothecary! Great scent for our hot summers and I venture I will wear this well into Autumn too.

It's my first blind buy based on the notes and the comments and it is magnificent! I never thought that I could appreciate woody notes, because usually I'm into fresh white flowerer and citruses á la Aqua di Gioia or Sheer Beauty, but this one changed me! The woody note that I usually hates turnes into something deep, warm and delicious on my skin, so I go and sniff myself the whole day ;0) Yes, it does last from mornign to night on me as well. This might be the first bottle I'll finish.

Lovely scent. The woody notes are prominent to me, but it still carries some freshness. This is warmer and sexier than the other Cool Water flankers. I don't think i would call it masculine, but it isn't super feminine either. I also detect a little bit of citrus and the barest whiff of a floral. This is not the summer-bright, fresh-air and aquatic scent that you typically associate with Cool Water. This is warm, seductive, intimate.

I love it. Can't stop breathing it in. It's like you're in a forest of pines and jasmine flowers. I detect a little bit of mint.

I actually created an account just to post my opinion and review of Night Dive. I have had this for a few years, I had already bought Cool Water and had been a fan of the original for much longer, I bought this simply because it was on special. I wasn't sure about this at the beginning as it is very woody and smoky and a lot heavier than anything I was using at the time (I was at the tail end of my aquatic/citrus/fruity phase), but it still had an underlying sense of the original under all the heavy woody-smokiness. But I liked it so much, I bought a few more to keep as spares. I don't usually go in for imagery/place evocativeness with fragrance, I like something or I don't, but Night Dive is something different, it is a place and tells a story. A Night Dive woman has been on the beach the whole day with Cool Water, had her daytime fun, probably caught a little too much sun and then at dusk she wanders along the beach and stumbles into a rustic wooden dive bar with a thatched roof, next to the water and starts a whole evening of another type of fun. It's the music, dancing, cocktails, sea, sand and getting tipsy at the Dive Bar. I really feel like Night Dive is not the right name, it needs to be Night Dive Bar or Dive Bar at Night. It's that little wooden beach bar and a fun, boozy night. I didn't think other people would realise this was a Cool Water flanker, but I was in my (tiny) office late one evening and a person came to greet me and from the door he said "You're wearing Cool Water." and replied that it was a flanker. That gives you an idea of the sillage and longevity of this as I had not reapplied during the day and you wouldn't have gotten that reaction from the original. It is a very woody/amber/patchouli version of Cool Water to me. It is smokier than anything I would have worn before, but I keep coming back to it and it works on me.

Another lovely aquatic by Davidoff! It's not oceanic like Cool water and it's more masculine, but in a lovely way. I like that the pistachio is a prominent note. The combination of jasmine, citruses and woodsy notes gives the final touch. Pretty good!

I agree with @orangepekoe. I detect a little bit of mint. Fresh and woody notes together. Who get bored from sweet parfumes, like me, this is a good choice.

Perfume forte, sensual e envolvente com boa fixação... Gostei bastante... muito diferente do fresquinho cool water original... este não tem nada de fresco.

Reminds me something from bvlgari le gemme lines. Sexy minimalist mysterious, playing in low keys like dry ice. Good for night especially in hot summer.

Unisex leaning masculine. It is a cold and fresh scent, not too invasive, but it speaks to me neither as a fragrance for women nor for men. It is also rather artificial smelling.

I just blind bought a bottle of this. This is really lovely. Definitely up my alley, with the wood, patchouli and balsamic notes. I smell orange, a hint of jasmine, and a moderate, yet restrained, amount of patchouli. I smell something that's resiny, but I can't identify it as amber, or mastique, or any particular balsamic note, or resin. I don't really smell the pistachio. I think it's mostly just Woodsy notes. It has the Davidoff Cool Water DNA, so it has a hint of an aquatic feel, but it is a different take on the theme. It is summery, but of course, it's the end of winter in my part of the world. I do feel like this is a summer night perfume. It is appropriate enough for an afternoon in the chilly beginning of March, but I can't wait to wear it in the dead of summer. I think it will be perfect for sitting with my husband and our friends on our large front porch...laughing and drinking Mike's hard lemonade, and enjoying the cool late night...hearing the ceiling fans from inside the house, through the open front door, and the crickets outside in the distance.

smells like a shower taken at night time. unfortunately there is an artificial, plasticky edgy smell to it that stops me from using it. if not for that plasticky undertone i sounds quite lied it. cool water & cool water intense don’t have this plastic undertone.

It smells like generic men's aftershave/shower gel. Along the lines of Axe for instance. Very linear. I don't understand how this is for women... It is unisex at the very least. Gave me a headache, very sharp and fresh/green but in a masculine way.

Nothing as original cool water...

I'm not a big fan of Aquatics, in fact they are my least favorite family. But I saw this at Marshall's for $9.99 and looked up the notes- The Pistachio and woods intrigued me. Being a Cool Water, I did expect it to at least a little fresh and sharp but nothing in the notes led me to think this would be a proper Aquatic. So it went home with me and I was filled with hope I'd get a slightly nutty/wood slight mandarin/jasmine enigma. What I got was a very typical CW/AdiG body mist.It's a metallic orange and sharp alcohol mess. It doesn't change or dry down because the siliage and projection are abysmal. Even on clothes I's say it lasts about an hour- on skin 20 minutes. As an aside, when I wore this around my husband for the first time he said "You smell good, what are you wearing?" (Normally if I get a "You smell good" from him, he doesn't care enough to know what it is) I knew he would like this though, it's more his taste and it is slightly masculine. Maybe I'll just give it to him.

I have 2 samples of this fragrance. Obviously, I sprayed one of them and you know what... I really like this fragrance! It is a fruity, woody scent that I love! When you sprayed it, the mandarin and cedar are smacking you in the face! Then when it dries down you're smelling the softness of the scent by smelling the jasmine and amber. At all it is a very nice fruity woody scent for spring (IMO). Rating : 8.5/10

I love this fragrance so much! It smells sexy-fresh but not sweet sexy. It’s different than anything I personally have in my collection. I like it way better than the original. Not the best lasting power though
