Cool Water Reborn

Ooooh!!! Peppery opening, I love it! That must be the vetiver, sometimes vetiver smells peppery. This has like...no top notes whatsoever. No fresh citrus, or lighter aromatics, it just dives directly into plant-y peppery-ness. It develops beautifully, and it smells much more natural than it surely is. It's absolutely a realistic vetiver note...kind of grassy, a little earthy, but not overdone here at all. It never veers into a "dirty" smell. Smoky? Yes, slightly, though it's balanced perfectly. I have a rosemary bush right outside my door, and I smell it often. I cook with sprigs too, and I'm extremely familiar with the smell. This has 65% of a rosemary smell, but it's not as savory or foody as the actual plant. Rosemary actually has some woody qualities too, and so does this fragrance. But no...it isn't a kitchen herb scented fragrance, the rosemary just adds dimension. I haven't tried the original Cool Water, so I have no base of reference here...but this doesn't smell watery at all. It really should be in a deep green bottle. I just tested this tonight from my husband's stash of samples, and it's the last thing I expected to be moved by (moments like these are why I love this hobby), but this fragrance makes me feel both comforted and adventurous. In my mind, this is the ultimate thing to wear on a hiking trip with your wife or love interest. It's masculine, unrefined, but absolutely tasteful and classy. Appealing without being try-hard, and unique. Very easy on the nose, but far from boring. It, again, is like deep forest green, natural and beautiful.

I don't understand the low ratings in this one, and I'd consider myself a bit tough to please. You immediately get a nose-opening, fresh blast of greens and citruses, but wrapped around a blue invigorating vibe. It certainly comes off a bit mature and robust, in a good way, and also you'd think "smells like nature" after a few minutes. Can't go wrong with it especially for the price. Maybe ratings became low due to different expectations/flanker naming? That still shouldn't affect the scent as a standalone creation. If I could only keep one Cool Water, it'd be a toss up between this and the original. (I've had Parfum, Intense, and Grapefruit&Sage which is almost identical to intense). All of them smelled a bit "unfinished" to me, but certainly not this one. This scent has only gotten positive reactions from people around me too. So, hope you enjoy! 😎

Another brilliant fragrance from Davidoff. I cannot understand why this gets such pitiful reviews as I find it to be fantastic for what it is. The best way to describe this scent is a green twist on YSL Y Live (which happens to be one of my favourite fragrances). Definitely a synthetic scent but it's a very masculine, fresh and green scent which will garner lots of compliments from women. Performance is absolutely fantastic aswell as it lasts about 8hrs on my skin and projects heavily for the first 2/3hrs. Really impressed with how this performs. A great, versatile pickup for a brilliant price (£27 for 125ml). Even with a large collection it still has a place for me as it's an easy dumb reach that will garner compliments the majority of the times I wear it. Definitely worth a blind buy if you like the Invictus/YSL Y Live DNA.

Davidoff Cool Water Reborn... ...is a very herbal green scent and instead of calling it Cool Water they could have just called it "Deep Forest Reborn". It is a nice fresh scent and would be great on warmer days. It really has got nothing in common with the original release of Cool Water in the 80s and not even with the current Cool Water Formulation. In the far dry down you can smell the spicy vetyver element found in Davidoff Cool Water Perfume. I personally don't understand the low rating but it seems that way too many ppl are too engaged with syrupy sweet gourmand and niche fragrances that their noses aren't open for a herbal (galbanum) ,woody and grassy juice. If anyone is looking for a Davidoff Cool Water Original release smellalike fragrance (pre reformulation), should try Coty Aspen. It smells very very close.

$30 at TJ Maxx for a 4.2oz bottle, so based on that, the house and this is a flanker, I can honestly say it's worth it completely! I have Dylan Blue (my favorite blue) and this is more like Sauvage. I don't get the medicinal or a ton of greenness to it but I do get ambroxan, some rosemary as a tinge of green and a ton of Ambroxan! Solid 8/10. Since I don't have a Sauvage clone at the moment I'll keep it, better than Sauvage anyway. Cool Water Intense is the best IMHO, the OG is good too!

Stunning! A very brave release from Davidoff! Fougere, green and bitter done the modern way. At no point does it give in to the latest trends. Absolutely genuine blend. It goes along the similar vibes of Kenzo Homme Fresh (2006) but does the job even better. Coastal, piney, herbal and almost austere feelings floating around. Modern day masterpiece!

I picked this up from duty free for $25/3.3oz. This is the kind of fragrance you wear for yourself. Makes me feel calm. I checked online retailers they are selling at a much higher price. Still would buy if it is under 30. About the fragrance - i do get rosemary and vetiver - a lot of it and it smells high quality. Lasts for 4-5 hours.

IMO this is similar to Sauvage but not really a clone. It really like this one. For me it smells like a grown up version of Sauvage. Also quite similar to dylan blue. Performance is great, awesome for summer nights and spring wear. Recommend it! 8/10

I loved it ... it's different....very fresh ...summery.... i feel aquatic note Although it is not included in the notes .... 💙⛵️🤍

Wow, I have found a dupe for Vodka on the Rocks by Kilian. This is so good for price; great longevity, projection, and dry down

I think this is one is excellent, but I'd stick to the original out of comfort.

tasty - simple - good um, oh yes, beautiful ombre bottle!

Cool Water Reborn is an aromatic, woody, and aquatic fragrance. It opens with slight citrus and herbal notes leaning more towards rosemary than the mint found in the original. Over time, it settles into a fresh, aquatic base of ambroxan and vetiver; this creates a very pleasant masculine feel and gives the classic Cool Water a more modern twist. It is an ideal fragrance for daytime wear across spring, summer, autumn, and even winter though there are likely better options for the coldest season. It works well for daily use, office settings, casual outings, and so on. As for longevity, it lasted between 7 and 8 hours on me; the scent sillage was noticeable for the first hour before the intensity subsided. I like this version of Cool Water because it modernizes the scent without completely losing its identity, although the dry-down reminds me more of Dior's Sauvage. I think it is a great choice if you can find it at an affordable price.

The Illuminati is hiring trolls to leave negative reviews on Cool Water Reborn Davidoff on fragrantica.com! They're trying to keep the public from knowing about the amazing scent of this cologne, which is a perfect blend of Galbanum, Rosemary, and Haitian Vetiver. It's like nothing else on the market, and it's sure to attract every female. But more importantly, the formulation of this cologne blocks mind control waves. That's right, the Illuminati doesn't want you to know that this cologne can protect you from their mind control techniques. They don't want you to be able to think for yourself, they want you to be a mindless puppet under their control. But with Cool Water Reborn Davidoff, you can resist their mind control and stay in control of your own thoughts and emotions. So don't listen to the Illuminati's lies, this cologne is the real deal. Try it for yourself and see!

Where's Johnny Depp? Cool Water Reborn is a definite reworking of the original Cool Water because the two have absolutely nothing in common. Put simply, Cool Water Reborn is much closer to Sauvage EdP and could, in fact, be considered a flanker of Sauvage. Think of a fresher, lighter version of Sauvage and you'd have Cool Water Reborn. Reborn is no slouch when it comes to performance. It's been about 10 hours since I applied it and I still get noticeable whiffs. Projection was good for the first 2 hours. Close in projection (about 3') continued even to the 5 or 6 hour mark. Quite an interesting addition to the 40+ Cool Water flankers released over the decades.

I was positively surprised by the tester I got. This starts of as a boring, slightly sweet blue designer fragrance but later develops into a more interesting, elegant, fresh masculine skin scent. It's quite unique, has woody-green spicy, cumin-like undertones from the vetiver. To me it has classic cologne and blue shower gel vibes but not in a bad way. It doesn't smell expensive or luxurious, but remains intriguing and very fresh even after hours of wearing. I probably won't get a bottle of this because it doesn't fit my personal preferences. However, if you're looking for a blue fragrance suitable both for formal settings and for sports, check this one out.

Reminds me of CW Parfum but with a touch of bitter green in it that slowly fades into something quite pleasant, blue and sweet. It's good. Not too herbal or syrupy. It can be sharp if smelled with your nose close to the skin in the first half hour, but I don't think anyone else would be able to notice it. Could easily be your daily driver to school or the office. The performance is moderate; the price is right, and the versatility is high. No clue why the rating is so low. If you want to add an inexpensive, semi-sweet blue fragrance to your collection, this one may hit the spot.

Every parfume which has vetiver in it is called old school....meeh. Its just elegant and fresh. Ofc not for young boys. This smells citrusy, fresh, bitter, little woody, so elegant, so smooth. The only problem for me the performance which is not so strong, like all the fresh citrusy frags. But this is instead of the haters an easily wearable fragrance, and this smells not synthetical at all. You can smell nature in it. A very pleasant suprise for me.

Don't even bother trying this. It feels unfinished, scratchy and synthetic asf. It can't decide what it is. A blue fragrance or a spicy green one? This has no signature hardness,and it will fall of the grid pretty easily. Nobody will remember this in 10 years from now. Awful stuff.

This is really good! Great on summer. Dry down has a little of Aventus but don’t know if my nose is broken, I can smell some Aqva Amara by Bvlgari.
