Ride The Waves

I got this one because I wanted something aquatic for warmer days. My boyfriend has a couple aquatic scents that I love and I wanted something similar but more feminine. I think it fits the bill quite well. I find that it smells very similar to Davidoff’s Cool Water for women but much less fruity. There’s a fruitiness in this one too but it’s much more muted which I like. The opening is quite citrusy but it disappears within seconds and becomes more fruity (perhaps watermelony?). The base smells waxy and synthetic which is noticeable on my skin, but less so on clothes. The longevity and sillage is poor but it can also be improved by spraying on clothes. I find that the aquatic top notes disappear quite quickly (within a few minutes) on the skin and the scent becomes more sweet (although not sickly). The top notes remain for longer on the clothes. I think that overall this scent is lovely for warm summer and spring days when you want something quick and refreshing. You don’t have to worry about over spraying and it becoming cloying. It’s inexpensive and comes in a small, handy bottle so you can chuck it in your purse and reapply if needed.
