Pros & Cons
- ✅ Still my girlfriends favourite! Smells like clean towels, sunscreen, bug spray, drift wood and waves slashing.
- ✅ Been wearing this since the early 90s and still reach for it. That should say enough. Opens cold and sharp. Mint and sea air, no warmup, no buildup. Just hits you immediately.
- ✅ Cool Water is definitely the ONE you need for summer: clean, inoffensive, bold, personality and not mature, not too young, perfect timing.
- ✅ Cool Water is an Iconic perfume... definitely the ONE you need for summer: clean, inoffensive, bold, personality and not mature, not too young, perfect timing.
- ✅ Simply a perfumery classic. It’s crazy to think that as a true fragrance addict, I only finally added this icon to my collection now in 2026. The scent immediately brings that clean, soapy, fresh barbershop vibe that is ultra-pleasant.
- ✅ I looove this! My boyfriend got this to be his summer scent and I love how aromatic & oceany it is.
- ❌ This fragrance is trash. The smell is fine, totally forgettable, but it's completely gone in ten minutes.
- ❌ Terrible longevity
- ❌ It smells like someone took a fresh magazine and let it dissolve in alcohol.
- ❌ The 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.
- ❌ A nice scent profile, although a bit synthetic, its very fresh and does smell like the ocean to me, however the performance on my skin is so bad, its gone in an hour and does not project at all.
