Description

Being clearly perceived as modern, Cool Water Intense has a number of "classic" fougere characteristics which are emphasized on a bigger scale than in the original: an indispensable metallic floralcy of geranium; coumarin, which shares its fluffiness with the amber accord, and this cosmetic touch is in perfect balance with its spiciness; salicylates, which make a fougere a fougere – the sensation is quite difficult to describe. Cool Water Intense, this time for real, opens a new chapter of Cool Water, being created literally from scratch. We know plenty of examples of successful perfume revivals: Miss Dior / Miss Dior 2012, Givenchy L'Interdit / L'Interdit 2018, Dior Homme 2005 / Dior Homme 2020, as well as Lancôme Trésor and Bleu de Chanel, named after their very distant ancestors. The second signature material, which we mentioned above, is fruity-metallic Allyl Amyl Glycolate (the original Cool Water contains an outrageous 3% of it which is 150% more than in any fougere before Cool Water), and the third one, Dinascone, have been entirely eliminated from Cool Water Intense as well. The original Cool Water is also remarkable for the use of natural materials; lavender and geranium are among them. These two materials are still required in fougeres. In total, according to official sources, 18 different naturals were blended in the original formula, including orange and the not-yet-popular-at-the-time pink pepper.

Davidoff Cool Water, created by Pierre Bourdon in 1988, is undoubtedly a milestone in the history of perfumery. It is the fragrance that drew a line in men's fragrances, dividing all fragrances into before and after Cool Water. Moreover, the perfumery that has come after is what we know as modern fougere – super fresh, aquatic perfumes that have very little in common with classic fougeres from the time before Cool Water. Everything said about Dihydromyrcenol is applicable to these two unfortunate materials, victims of their own popularity. Aventus, with its army of copies, has become the last nail hammered into the coffin of Allyl Amyl Glycolate. Sorry (not sorry!), but I have to disagree. The absolutely brutish amplification of three basic notes does absolutely nothing to elevate any of them to something new or better. It's just LOUDER, but otherwise, perfectly exemplifies the expression "seemed like a good idea at the time." You would think that the combination of coconut, mandarin and amber would have great potential, but not so much if you stop there. This felt like it needed either some kind of florals to amplify the suntan lotion effect, or a woody element to give it some much needed gravitas -- but you'll get none of that here.

It is hard to confuse Cool Water Intense with any other fougere on the shelf. I am sure that fans of fortitude in perfumes would be totally smitten by its power, while those who appreciate the original, probably, would hardly be impressed. (I expect loud, multiple complaints about stealing the name and ruining another masterpiece.) However, I am sure the new perfume will attract a new audience.

The recipe for success is simple: They finally critically revised the composition in accordance with what people love and wear now and left only what is considered cool from the modern point of view.Salicylates create a logical bridge from a fougere to the note of coconut water – there is a very neat, functional lactonic accord. Salicylates and lactones naturally blend into a suntan lotion, which is another cliche coming from the marine fragrances universe. Cool Water Intense is fundamentally different from all previous flankers, which finally attracted well-deserved attention to the famous fragrance name and marked its revival. In fact, it is not formally a flanker, but a new concentration of the original Eau de Toilette.
