Pros & Cons
- ✅ I bought this at $25 blindly because I know CoolWater to be a good cheap perfume. This one smells good but what surprised me is that I used it for the first time today and I got compliments from two girls already! One even said it twice : " Damn that smells good ". Thats good enough for me.
- ✅ I like it. Nice spring / summer day scent. Refreshing. Nice juicy mandarine note. Easy going.
- ✅ Picked this up at Burlington and was a blind buy. I checked it out on here and say it was a 3 note fragrance. I like it it is not harsh and it has average + performance. I like citrus and pepper this is why I bought it. It not a bad fragrance at all and sure you can’t compare it to a higher end designer or niche, but it’s a decent blue fragrance. I think I would choose this over the original.
- ✅ I didn't really expect much from this seeing the previous reviews and knowing that this is marketed as a minimal (3) note fragrance. I was pleasantly surprised to find that although not groundbreaking, it's a pretty safe scent for wear in the warmer weather. Some people feel it can fit in the Fall, to each their own, as far as for my thoughts, this is an interesting twist to the original with branding that creates a nostalgia vibe. Summertime in the Coney Island arcade Faber's Fascination in the late 1990's , burning a solid $50 in quarters beating random people on Street Fighter II. Good times.
- ✅ Not as simple as the basic rundown of three notes would suggest, it doesn't really have any Cool Water DNA, but it's a very safe, easy to wear, fresh, masculine fragrance. Very appealing opening and drydown, sadly the longevity is a little lacking.
- ❌ Street Fighter Champion is a flanker of Davidoff Cool Water that takes a different path from the original, combining citrusy mandarin orange with spicy black pepper. It's a suitable choice for a hot spring or summer day, offering a decent fresh blue fragrance. However, when compared to the fantastic Cool Water original, Street Fighter Champion falls a bit short. In my opinion, this flanker would have been more popular as a standalone scent rather than standing in the shadow of the iconic original. While Street Fighter Champion has average longevity and projection, its affordable price makes it a reasonable value for money. Nevertheless, there are superior blue fragrances available in the market, making this one easy to skip. For those who already own this bottle and want to enhance its versatility, consider layering it with other aromatic or woodsy notes like lavender or sandalwood for a fresh twist on heavier profiles.
- ❌ Smells like running a set and getting absolutely bodied. Like drowning in pools. Like going 0-2 at EVO against Daigo. [Insert your favourite salty LowTierGod copypasta here. Any of them.]
- ❌ Very bad and sour smell Nothing to do with original cool Water Could be used as bugspray
