Cool Water Wave

Hello all, I've recently joined and cycled thru what I'm wearing today to Cool Water Wave. I grew up as a young adult wearing Cool Water and even though my tastes have evolved I still wear it amongst my 70 odd perfumes. I bought Wave as an I'm duty free shopping so I must buy a cheap perfume thingy and this was the only perfume I liked. I enjoy it as one of my current go to fresh aquatics however it is if I am honest it is on the weak side. I've read some interesting reviews here but like most I find it lasts at best two hours before it becomes a skin scent (which I enjoy) so for me this again as per my review for Steel Water more of a personal scent rather than dressing to impress. The reviews saying it smells like soap is weird in itself. To me it could only It only smell like a mild lavender soap - what soap do they mean? I don't get the comparison - soaps have many different smells. I find the description with Juniper, grapefruit, szechuan pepper etc technically correct (on the first spray) however other than the juniper everything else is fairly faint (unless you push your nose into your skin - which I do lol) and classing it as a woody is a stretch. Really the mix and faintness leaves it realistically hard to say its anything in particular in the dry down. Infact I would describe the first 5-15 min as a fresh burst of citrus aquatic and faint lavender. on the dry down it comes across as slightly earthy and fresh. Again over analysing and putting your nose close it contains some citrus and it seems to vary between grapefruit, tangerine and bergamot - its so faint I couldn't tell at any given moment. There may technically be pepper but it comes across as faint patchouli and or faint lavender to me regardless of what oil was used for scent. SO, in summary, to me its a nice safe mix up from the usual but not something I'll miss when there are other good products out there especially for similar money and which are better constructed. Cheers

I have owned this fragrance for over a year now. At first spray I was not too impressed. I then sat on the couch and did work on a hot day with the fan in my living room turning. After about 30 minutes I started to get the most lovely wafts and didn't think it was my cologne but maybe a candle or something else in the room. After about an hour of enjoying the scent I moved my arm and picked up a strong waft. I feel in love with this stuff. It works its magic in the dry down and when you start to heat up. On my skin it works so good. I am not a fan of the original. I like the scent but there is a note that I do not like and eventually I need to wash it off. This release got rid of that note and I will never be without during the summer as long as its available. At one point I had close to 200 fragrances (designer and Niche). I had my wife go though them to find her favorites. This was in her top 5. Just not much to hate, its not the most complex fragrance but its non offensive and has a great DNA as you can smell some of the traits of the old cool water hidden in the background. Longevity on me is good and sillage is good enough.

I have over 100 fragrances including the original Cool Water, Cool Water Intense, Invictus Aqua and Bvlgari Aqva Atlantiqve and this is my favourite summer scent. There's just something about it that reminds me of the isolated Australian beaches of my childhood. It would be nice if it lasted longer but I have the 200ml size and two backups costing me a grand total of 60 euros. I just respray every few hours. When I'm home I will spray it on my furniture, and my sheets. I just love the feeling of getting whiffs of it as I'm moving around the house. It's uplifting and relaxing and cool. Buy a big bottle of this for summer. The only thing you will regret about buying this is if it runs out before the summer ends.

It amazes me how the same people that love PR Invictus Aqua, may hate this one. This is exactly the same scent, with less projection. Shows you that many people like scents, based more on what’s barns is it, and not the actual scent. I also don’t understand the longevity issue, this one lasts 8 hours minimum on my skin. Projects less than PR Invictus Aqua, no doubt, but lasts the same easily. If you like those kind of marine sweet scents, then this one is for you. I got a 200ml bottle for $27.....check the price on Invictus Aqua, and it’s a no brainer. Trust me, this is a good one, don’t believe the hate!!!!.

I see why some people would say this smells like invictus or invictus aqua but honestly this smells better than both,it only has the same vibe as invictus aqua but this is cleaner and blended much better than invictus aqua,it has a dylan blue type of vibe,this fragrance has became my signature scent cause it last 7 plus hours and the scent smells great from the time u spray til its gone,u can wear this casual,to work,to outings,to the club,to the beach,very versatile.the grapefruit note is priceless,forget invictus aqua 2016 and 2018 buy this u will be surprised at how good it smells and lasts

For $20 CAD for 40mL, it's hard to be super harsh about this. Nothing crazy, I think many would like it as a result. It certainly reminds me of the OG Cool Water which I had 10 years ago. I bought this at the same time as Montblanc Legend Spirit, which many list as similar to this, and to that I say... No. Not even close side by side. The sweetness in Spirit is like 4x, and I pick up apple in that one. Absolutely none in this. Edit: first wear and it got a compliment. Just like someone else said, it doesn't last too long but when it hits the sun and the heat it comes to life.

This is such an amazing fragrance and a safe blind buy! If you are an owner of legend spirit this would be kind of a redundant and unneeded purchase tbh. Upon initial spray you get a blast of slightly salty sea notes and fresh squeezed sweet grapefruit. It is a mass pleaser and the dry down is pretty much identical to legend spirit. This does not have the bubble gum opening like spirit but once the fragrance drys down it smells about the same. If you need a new summer fragrance look no further this is great. 8/10 rating

This the best among cool water flankers after cool water intense EDP. Yes its performance is not the best, but if you wear it in the intense heat you will get the best moments. I own neroli riviera ( clone of Tom Ford) from fragrance world. This smells almost the same. It's surprising that it's not in the above list. If you can't find this, try that or Maison Alhambra Porto neroli which are some what longer lasting. I don't think it is anywhere near to montblanc legend spirit though.

I actually love this scent. Reminds me of the beach with a fruity opening and woodsy sea water dry down Longevity is mediocre and projects ok for the first hour or two depending on how many sprays you use then after it’s just pretty much a skin scent. I recommend blind buying it. I actually got this as a gift and immediately loved it at first sniff. Definitely doesn’t smell like the original cool water. Just reminds of beach balls, sea shells and the ocean very clean and refreshing.

After soaking in a tub of milk and honey for exactly 48 hours, I air dry for 17.5 minutes then I lightly spritz myself from head to toe with this. It's absolutely magical. As a matter of fact, your bath is not complete unless you spray this on afterwards. I smelled this in Amsterdam and bought a bottle on the spot. The sales associate tried to steer me towards something else but I refused! Walking around in my robe putting on airs and smelling like this = heaven.

This fragrance is extremely popular in Japan. Given the country's high humidity, which makes daily life quite uncomfortable, this fresh, summery scent is absolutely delightful. However, the only drawback is its extremely short lifespan. I wonder if there are any plans to release an Eau de Parfum version of this perfume? It seems like it would be a huge hit if they did.

This is excellent fragrance for what it is. fantastic smell, complete getter, super refreshing, cheap but good quality. It is very fruity but light and more masculine, better rounded compared to invictus or montblanc legend spirit and the marine note is better done and more prominent. still cool water DNA is present. solid release and recommended.

کسی که نام عطار این عطر رو بدونه با این قیمت خوبش یک لحظه هم درنگ نمیکنه و اینو میخره ولی من جزو اون دسته آدمهام که درنگ کردم ولی بعد از تستش فهمیدم که نباید معطلش میکردم و میخریدمش ولی دیر نیست میخرمش :) بوش خیلی با کلاسه و تمام روز برای سه فصل سال میشه با خیال راحت ازش استفاده کرد یه امتیاز خوب برای این عطر 10/8

To my nose this smells like invictus aqua 2018 mixed with Dylan blue with a tad of original cool water,this is a amazing cheapie,i thought nautica voyage was the best cheapie til I smelled this,I get 7 hours which makes this a perfect blind buy,i rate this a 9 out 10 based on the price.......peace

To me, this is perfect for a summer vacation, as it is very pleasing with the water and citrus notes but deep enough with the pepper, patchouli and woody notes to not be boring. Puts a smile on my face everytime I use it!

I can agree with the reviewer below this is a sweet and fresh fruity fragrance, not to shabby but i have smelled similar before so i dont find it very unik in any way, night dive is still my favorite from the line.

Very good for office and perfect casual summer frag. Inoffensive, clean, fresh with good longevity. This one actually is great to use after shower to feel positive and energetic as citrus gives great vibe.

beautiful scent, fresh and crisp and clean, I spray it on my clothes so that it last longer, great as a hair mist as well, no brainer goto LOVE it!

cool water and fresh soap.wow.fantastic. no similar to invictus. no too much citrus.much marine. excellent performance. is a winner.8/10

I actually love this scent. But it would be good if it lasts a bit longer. Projection is really good. Solid 9/10
