Pros & Cons
- Cool Water is fresh and sharp, simple and very masculine.
- This is an affordable, versatile, everyday wear (especially in the summer) and is still a banger in 2026!
- I love Cool Water, it's a timeless classic and I think it will stay relevant until the end of days.
- Classic, clean, refreshing, and timeless.
- This is a timeless classic and I think it will stay relevant until the end of days.
- Still my girlfriends favourite! Smells like clean towels, sunscreen, bug spray, drift wood and waves slashing.
- I am a middle aged woman who just has to show her love for this fragrance. ... it is still amazing almost 40 years later.
- Cool Water is definitely the ONE you need for summer: clean, inoffensive, bold, personality and not mature, not too young, perfect timing.
- This used to be better. I'm guessing the formulation has changed. Smells clean and fresh but leans a little synthetic... The performance is the worst part.
- Terrible longevity
- The longevity and projection I also found to be very weak
- This fragrance is trash. The smell is fine, totally forgettable, but it's completely gone in ten minutes.
- This used to be better. I'm guessing the formulation has changed. Smells clean and fresh but leans a little synthetic... The performance is the worst part. It is almost indetectable on my skin within twenty minutes.
- Opening is fresh but the dry down is too cleaner synthetic like.
- I was not impressed with this cologne at all. It dries out fine but I can't get past the opening that is very soapy. The longevity and projection I also found to be very weak
