Davidoff Cool Water Summer Dive Man

I think we have to give these Cool Water flankers a bit more credit. While I totally like the classic Cool Water, I also find the tweaked annual issues pretty interesting on their own while keeping the legacy scent in there. I certainly would love to spray the original any day but to some people it is just too dated due mostly to over-use some years ago. Coty are doing a pretty good job keeping the brand alive and fresh IMHO. With Summer Dive Man we are getting an energizing citrus opening followed by a comfortable dry-down to classic Cool Water, great sillage and above average longevity. It is a solid summer scent contender and a great value I might add. (I bought the Summer Dive 2011 Limited Edition for 1/2 of the Classic CW price). --- @aktp-iciook: Excellent review. Made me buy it today and I can say it's a great scent for the summer - fresh, energizing and surprisingly close to the original plus the citrus splash. Totally recommend it for a summer scent.

Went to buy this for my younger brother today. There's so many of them smelling exactly the same! I had a hard time differentiating but ended up getting this for him since the lady said it's the new one. Also coz we're going into the Australian summer heat so I thought: 'why not?'. Altogether, he liked it. It's clean and crisp. Could potentially give you a headache if used too much but it's scent is generally good. Still thinking if I should have just bought him the original one.

Here we go again, another Davidoff Cool Water summer edition. Real fans of the original CW almost take no risk in buying this CW Summer Dive as the aquatic drydown of the original CW is magnificently PRESERVED. The only part you might want to fancy with is the opening part. I find it rather energizing with heavy use of citrus notes to cheer you up this summer. As soon as I read the notes, I have no further doubts on such a strong citrusy punch. Buy, try or pass: I'd say TRY it if you are bored with the less varied transition of the original CW. Thanks for reading. Hope this helps :D Update: @sofianec: Thanks for your kind words ^^ I'm glad you find it useful. Your review also gives great information on how this scent differs from the original. Well written indeed :) BTW, I'm just wondering where you bought it at such a bargain price. @querelle: It is true that the drydown of the new released Cool Water resembles that of the original. But, IMHO, the revised versions of the original Cool Water always preserve its gimmick and in a way, attract a younger crowd out there being slightly insecure to buy outdated fragrances and boost the pre-owners for a new change :) I believe that seems to be the only way the OLD and popolar fragrances can continuously draw more or less the same level of attention, otherwise it would be discontinued.

The opening is different from the original, I get som watermelon+citrus. After 45 minutes it ends up smelling exactly like the original cool water, but toned down a little. So I rather use the original and wait 45 minutes before I go outside to get better longevity and projection

A new fragrant ideal for summer and summer cooling down. It is created of citrusy notes of lemon bark, mandarin and grapefruit combined with aromatic basil.Smelling fresh.
