Pros & Cons
- ✅ As seemingly the first person here writing a review to have actually tried this fragrance, I can tell you, it’s better than fine. Sprayed lightly, it makes for a great inexpensive and versatile fragrance for work or school, amped up with a few more sprays you could wear it into the night on a date or clubbing. My nose immediately likened this to Chanel Platinum Egoiste, only with better performance...
- ✅ Great perfume! Simple, Masculine, decent performance love the bottle. Never used the OG Coolwater as I use Green Irish Tweed. This is a nice path and new direction. Definitely smells familiar but also different and new. For the price this is solid.
- ✅ thank god this has nothing common with any of the countless sauvage(-like) flankers and clones. davidoff plays his own league and yep, its a good one again. d&g intenso meets platinum, only a bit darker. very nice. 7/10
- ✅ Good for office, formal occasions, moderate performance on skin but good performance on cloths(7-8hrs) Opens very smooth and clean, opens a little sweet greenish citrusy, perfect for after shower fresh feeling smell... Overall good for price, doesn’t resemble any designer flanker, Davidoff maintaining it’s unique essence Overall a good blind buy.
- ✅ If you like Rasasi Hawas Ice or other Invictus Aqua-like fragrances, then you will certainly like Cool Water Reborn edp. The price is considerably less than Hawas Ice, and this fragrance is quite similar. Cool Water Reborn is a fresh fragrance than shines in the spring or summer. It certainly would be okay to wear in the office as well. This is a solid 6/10 for me.
- ❌ The OG Cool Water Eau de Toilette managed to achieve something for itself... Cool Water Reborn Eau de Parfum, on the other hand, does nothing to achieve not even 10% of what Cool Water EDT did. There also appears to be an eau de toilette concentration... You shouldn't expect a complex composition with Cool Water Reborn EDP either, because it's quite simple and stale. The first thing that greets you is a very well-known synthetic sweetness with the typical bubblegum similarities... Performance was expectedly pretty disappointing here.
- ❌ For me at least I realize I just don't like this type of scent dna, I don't know if it's the ambroxin or what but it's headache inducing.
- ❌ The best qualities of galbanum mated to the worst qualities of vetiver. This is nothing like the Reborn EDT or CW Parfum. And not in a good way. Think of Reborn EDT, minus the sweetness and fruitiness, plus some spiciness. The galbanum is what keeps the scent fresh for a bit: without it, this fragrance is just hay-like. I don’t like the idea of using spices to raise the longevity of fragrances, especially not when it is so cheaply and synthetically done.
