The Cool Water fragrance gains in intensity. While some perfumes are content to follow trends, others give rise to new horizons and revolutionize the world of fashion or perfumery. Such was the case with Cool Water, when it arrived on the men's perfumery market in 1988.
A mythical success for the house of Davidoff, the Cool Water fragrance has delighted men since its creation in 1988. It is, moreover, one of the fragrances that revolutionized the world of men's perfumery. Before it, fragrances were often very opulent and powerful. Davidoff's Cool Water brought them more freshness, revealing new extreme sensations by drawing inspiration from the spirited water of the ocean. Cool Water is, in a way, an untamable wave charged with dynamism yet not devoid of virility. Today, to our great delight, Davidoff's fragrance reinvents itself and becomes Cool Water Intense, in a more vibrant edition. So let us take a closer look at which ingredients the creator relied on to enhance the intensity of this star fragrance…
Refreshing top notes
To preserve the freshness typical of the Cool Water collection, Davidoff relied on the presence of mandarin, right from the top notes of the fragrance. This citrus fruit gives a sparkling, cheerful, sun-kissed touch to the opening of Cool Water Intense. Moreover, fitting perfectly into the heritage of ancestral perfumery, mandarin evokes the scent of Eaux de Cologne of the past. As a result, it is an ingredient readily accepted by men, since it has long been anchored in the collective memory. Found in numerous fragrances, mandarin is very present here. It is an ingredient synonymous with vitality, giving the wearer a fresh energy on a daily basis.
Cool Water Intense offers a more exotic heart
More unexpectedly, the heart of Cool Water Intense relies on an exotic ingredient, capable of transporting us to a distant land with a single breath: coconut. This particularly nourishing fruit has an exemplary nutritional value. As a result, coconut is widely consumed on distant islands. Its scent, meanwhile, is a true delight, which is why it is so often used in perfumery. However, what makes this choice more surprising is that coconut is generally associated with women's fragrances. Davidoff here succeeds in the bold wager of incorporating it into a men's composition, a daring choice, but no less appreciated!
Amber to close out the scent of Cool Water Intense
Playing on a hot-cold contrast, Davidoff's Cool Water Intense concludes with a scent of amber, a very rich and rare material, reserved exclusively for fine perfumery. Coming from the sperm whale, and taking on its definitive scent as it drifts in the ocean, it is rich in many facets. Sensual and animalic, it is also sun-kissed and slightly salty. It is, moreover, an excellent fixative. Here, this ingredient recalls the oceanic origins of the Cool Water collection, while bringing an extra vibration to it. Cool Water Intense thus opens with absolute freshness, elevated by a more abyssal base. The contrast is striking, vibrant, … Simply intense!
