Hot Water

living in the dead center in the state of California.. We get all four seasons thru out the valley. So being from here, I’ve learned to collect a new ‘daily driver’ for both cool/COLD and also another for warm/HOT. So seeing that the weather is getting as cold as it does get hot. I’ve been scoping this one out for a while. At least during my warmer seasons when I was using Cool Water. Which I thought was okay. It came in handy and was strong but on skin I wasn’t liking it at all. So I kept it in my car. However this HOT WATER in comparación is really living up to the title. Don’t get it twisted, this really does smell like the other end of the Davidoff spectrum. To me it smells like cinnamon gum but in a cozy kind of way. The colour red really delivers that notion. I’ve gotten only compliment by a coworker but they were really taken back by the scent. As I was too. I would say this is more of a ‘what’s up bro’ kinda vibe. I wouldn’t wear this on a date but if it was all I had in the moment. I would be totally set for a good time. But if I’m at work, going to ‘kick it with the boys’ after type of day. This is perfect for these cooler / cold months ahead. I’m def gunna use up this whole bottle by spring. For 30$ it’s a solid choice. I got lucky and got the last bottle so if you’re curious get it. Who would I recommend this to? Well I’m 30 and I feel like it fits me perfectly. Not too young, not too old. I smell like a proper young man. Energetic but stoic. If you’re 15 to 25. There should be no qualms. It’s pretty strong so be strategic or carry it with you in a Doppkit. The reason I say that is the DRY DOWN is the best part. Smells like rich mineral, the benzoin on here is like creamy stone just radiating off your presence. That being said if your 35 and up , you better put on your old leather jacket and boots bcoz you’re about to bring back your old hard rock days. Really cool bottle. I’m ‘wid it’ w/ this one. 7.4/10.0

Purchased a bottle 8-9 months ago.two words Wormwood and pimento blast.Amazing warm night fragrance perfect for a date or just a night out alone.This is probably my comfort fragrance if there’s something ever like that.This fragrance creates the image of exiting a 5 star hotel walking around a new city at night getting buzzed,drunk and eating out in the local restaurants.This fragrance reminds me of the cozy atmosphere in the hotel and city scenes of lost in translation (2003). The scent one of the best and well crafted ones of the century imo. It’s not a 15 hour fragrance perhaps it’s only 10-12 hours in terms of longevity but that varies from batches I believe. It’s inoffensive and lovely. It’s warm,sweet,somewhat mossy,woody for sure but not dark woody,kind of resinous and the patchouli just compliments the overall fragrance and glues it all together.There’s a small vanilla like nuance in it but not a strong one. It’s perfect for young adults. Reminds me of moschino boy toy but without the pepper and rose but the basil gives it a small hint or edge of sharpness which is well blended Not a compliment getter until you overspray but few sprays aren’t a bad thing This fragrance defines that a fragrance doesn’t have to last eternally to be good And it’s the best mix of natural smelling and synthetic smelling notes it smells more natural to me. Overall rating Price:10/10 Longevity:8/10 Sillage:7.5/10 Blind buy worthy:60/100

This is probably my favorite scent I've worn to date. It's gotten me the most compliments of anything I've worn. Spicy, masculine, really brings out your natural man scent. It's very much for nighttime wear though, a little too strong to wear during the day. Hot Water also has great longevity. I've gone out and woken up the next day, 12+ hours after I applied the cologne and I can still smell it on me and on my pillow. It's fantastic. ***Review update 4/14/19 (original written in 2014 wow!) I just felt compelled to add to my review here since I'm so surprised that this cologne does not get much love in general. For those of you looking to wear a scent for "the club," this is a perfect fragrance. To date I haven't found a better scent for this purpose (although to be honest, I haven't looked that hard), far outperforming the likes of the more popular Versace Eros. Projection/sillage and longevity are a 10/10 for this fragrance, and since my review 5 years ago this is still my top compliment-getter among scents I've worn. It's oriental/spicy and undeniably masculine. To me, it is the gold standard in that scent category until I find something that matches it. Further, what's great is that not only is it inexpensive, but hardly anyone knows about it or wears it.

Clean & Soapy Amber ROUGE SPICE with Paprika, Red Hots & Dr. Pepper Accents. For this 2009 Amber-Spicy hidden gem, if you think of a red bar of soap, maybe artisanal, that has notes of paprika, Red Hots & Dr. Pepper in it, but it's still always a soap, you'll be close. In the first couple of minutes before the spray dries there's some masculine leaning fresh-ozonic tones. Once the spray dries and the sillage opens up, I can feel the fresh & warm spicy aromatics that include some clean, green, fresh, faintly soapy and rouge-leaning tones. The paprika note adds a dash of fiery spiciness and tilts the spices rouge with a hint of Red Hots, and in the base there's a lovely benzoin-styrax blend that give a clean amber glow and brings a hint of Dr. Pepper. Into the drydown, the resins blend with spices and also bring a slightly sweet, near-ginger vibe. Overall I get a clean, rouge-leaning spicy soapy scent with a nice dash of fieriness that fits well with the name. This has average or slightly above average performance for year round wear. This is an affordable, easy reach for a clean & spicy vibe. I'm a fan of clean and spicy scents, so it's a love for me. Enjoy!

I think this is an especially unique fragrance. It is not like Xeryus Rouge, though people commonly associate the two in some way. There is that pimento note they share, but Hot Water does something completely different. I love both. Hot Water remains clear and watery (like water); I even smell a reminiscence of that rare smell of evaporating water, and this is NOT the same as the common "aqua" type of smell in a thousand fragrances in the last decade. The wormwood plays a starring role, and I never get the artificial or plastic smell some reviewers dislike. This never comes off as cheap on my skin. I can see how others might wear this differently; my skin is relatively oily and really tends to hold on to fragrances. This is a standout fragrance. I cannot compare it with anything else I have smelled. Completely unique and good. I just ordered a second full bottle.

People are confusing. I love this fragrance and is one of my favorites. i dont understand why its so underrated, for that price, the smell is amazing, bottle and atomizer are 10/10s. Only negative thing about it is that it doesn't last very long so you'll have to spray quite a bit of it, and for that price that isnt that bad. It also is a bit confusing for what occasions it should we used. From my experience it is suitable for all seasons except maybe hot summer and is better at night. It also can work as an office fragrance, an everyday one or even formal events. I've worn born in roma intensely, coral fantasy, Versace pour homme, jpg elixir, Armani code, dior sauvage and more but this by far got me the most complements, as well as people sniffing me.

I wasn't expecting much, so the surprise at how incredibly awesome this scent is was all the better! Funny how people are comparing Cool Water and Hot Water. Um ... people, cool and hot are opposites! Do you get it? OPPOSITES! That would mean that they are not supposed to be even similar in aspect. Since that is out of the way, let's move onto the fragrance. Hot Water is a yummy peppery scent, yes, but do I detect a small amount of cinnamon in there? Most assuredly, I do. Since it is not listed, I would wager to guess that it is a combination of the bitter wormwood meshing with the styrax. The scent is extraordinary and well beyond what I had anticipated! Thumbs way up! Excellent work, Davidoff!

Let me start by saying "Wow". How will I describe this fragrance? Ok, Bitter and then sweet. First spray I got basil and something spices and some kind of oriental thing. After five minutes sweet benzoin come out with exotic patchouli plus a little bit tobacco. Sweet and spice and sweet and sweet again. But in a men way not girly,not at all. This will fit for men at any age.When I close my eyes I see a guy with mystery in himself, hot, sexy, calm, confidence with his attitude. Longevity is great 6-8 hours on me(oily skin). 3-4 spray in daily and add a little more at night. Sillage is good, bold and flow in every way May I change the name from Hot Water to Hot Stuff ? Really like it.

Davidoff Hot water is a weird fragrance for me because I have love-hate relationship. First, Its a really spicy fragrance when I spray, get the pimento and bezoin and it slowly become sweet but not thsat much. It's a mysterious fragrance for mysterious people. Really a cold weather scent fall and winter =Opposite of Cool Water for spring and summer Day and night, for any occasion This fragrance last a long time 6 to 8 hours and stay on the clothes for weeks (if you have difficulties to love the smell that can be a huge turn off) Good projection Got few compliments if wear it right half spray on the chest and 2 on the neck...more its cloying and you'll get an headache 7/10

To me this smells like a dilf. It’s such a yummy men’s fragrance and I just feel so chilled out sniffing it. Don’t be intimidated by the notes, to me it’s quite fresh and has that masculinity most men’s fragrances have with blended notes that aren’t so easy to identify unless you have lots of experience. It wouldn’t say this is a spicy fragrance because it’s quite well blended. It smells like taking a hot shower with men’s shower gel and the evaporation has the scent of the gel within it. So so good. Id love if a man I was seeing wore this. It isn’t made for a juvenile man but if you like it, be confident in your choice and wear it!

Super generic. You would swear you are spraying a NEW version of Axe on yourself. Remember how popular Cool Water was 15 years ago? Having said that, this is Fresh in a sweet sort of way with a gentle spice. Perhaps an oriental, I love this scent. It smells great. It has a similar personality to Prada Lunna Rosa Sport, Ferrari Man In Red, etc, although it has completely different notes listed. (Now, now, I didn't say identical, I said "similar personality".) Although the dry down is darker with Benzoin than the other two. Totally synthetic, totally smells great. Sexy, I love it, for $20 you can't go wrong.

Despite lots of people don't like it and find it chemical, I don't share those reservations. I would hate it if it would be artificial, but it is luckely not (I would not use it otherwise). I think its a wonderful nice n warm oriental fragrance. I bought 3 bottles already. Good longevity n silage. A good friend uses it also and the perfume is, despite his high skin acidity, also good but gets darker sooner and more peppery spiced. At my skin it stays fresh very long. Also its Big brother Cool Water I like much. Thumbs up for also this one!

This was a dumb reach for me a few years ago and it did its job perfectly, even gave me a few unexpected compliments. My batch gave me decent longevity as well, I would say about 6ish hours if I remember correctly. It's a good value-price fragrance, just don't expect some miraculous potion that will blow everyone away and don't wear it in hot weather cause it gets obnoxious especially in tight places. If you like peppery fragrances and need to spray something on before going to the store or running some quick errands this is your go to.

When first applied to skin, Hot Water is a fiery burst of pimento and patchouli, but when those flames fade, it gets to be this powdery, spicy, absinthe, almost cacao-y scent. This isn't a bad thing, I actually like it, however it's not exactly as "hot" as it is when it's first applied (It is still very spicy though). It does smell very slightly synthetic, but not enough to make me dislike the fragrance. I do not think it smells like Axe/Lynx, but I can see where people are coming from with that description. I love it either way.

pretty close to Emmanuel's Ungaro's nice Apparition for the flowery & powdery start off side except it is followed by a warmer, hotter side. I could not choose between those 2. Have the hot water fragragrance for more casual days & activities to keep aromatic more distinguished Ungaro for special evenings & events:-)Conclusion, this hot water is as good as cool water. 1 for hot summer days & the other one for cooler days. No idea why beauty shops will not sell it no more & how come it is so under rated. I love it.

On the contrary to my catagorization of this fragrance as more suitable to be worn at night, I actually used an entire 60ml bottle in no time... as my gym bag cologne. Maybe it's because it's powerful and cuts through the chlorine smell that still lingres even after showering? Anyway... It's warm, spicy, oriental, oddly sexy (girls have told me that not just me) and I love this...total departure from cool water which you would expect and much nicer in my opinion. Massive projection, never overpowering great stuff.

I use Cool Water, but I tried Hot Water recently and I love it more than Cool Water. Especially when it dries down on my skin. The morning after I could still smell it on my wrist, and I just couldn't resist sniffing it throughout the day. Warm spicy is exactly how I would describe it! Now looking at other reviews, you can clearly tell that it doesn't necessarily mean you'll like this if you're a fan of Cool Water. So definitely try it out before blind buying (but to be honest, I never blind buy anyways).

Might not make you stand out in a crowd but it will definitely get you compliments in the office. A subtle very mildly spicy oriental fragrance with a wormwood twist and benzoin making it smell super sweet without venturing anywhere near cloying, feminine or gourmand’s territories. It’s a very light fragrance. An EDP would be amazing but I’ve only managed to find EDT and as it’s so light I find myself constantly reapplying. But it layers well with lots of others and it’s so cheap.

If you can get past the low longevity and moderate sillage at best, I think it's a great one for it's price range. I'm really loving the chemical but clean smell, and halfway through my second bottle. You won't smell like everybody else yet it's familiar and likeable enough that probably nobody will complain. Lasts decent on clothes. Overall decent dumb grab and blind buy. Would love if they came up with an edp or even extrait some time in the future though.

So I just smelled this side by side with the Enrique Iglesias night adrenaline And by accident in my spraying frenzies realize that these two are 75% similar and both smell really good..If someone out there owns both I would love your personal feedback on that thank you!!! Just my observation and data sharing For the fragrance diaspora... good day 2 all!!!!
