About This Perfume
Cool Water Exotic Summer by Davidoff is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for men. Cool Water Exotic Summer was launched in 2016. Top notes are Sage, Mandarin Orange, Basil and Juniper; middle note is Mint; base note is Sandalwood. Davidoff launches its annual summer limited editions of the always popular Cool Water fragrances in a collection called Cool Water Exotic Summer for 2016. Since the original Cool Water from 1988 and Cool Water Woman from 1996, Davidoff finds inspiration in oceans and annually launches new, limited edition aromatic-aquatic fragrances. The new collection was preceded by Cool Water Summer Seas in 2015, Cool Water Coral Reef in 2014 and Cool Water Into The Ocean in 2013. Cool Water Exotic Summer for men is a fresh and bright reinterpretation of the original with aromatic - citrusy and marine notes. It begins with sparkling notes of mandarin, enriched with aromatic juniper, basil and sage. Cool mint in the heart makes a prelude to the woody, masculine base of sandalwood. Available as 125 ml Eau de Toilette. The distinguishing bottles of the collection are decorated with discreet palm tree prints, while their boxes show pictures of sea lagoons.

The Brand

Davidoff

Davidoff is a German-Swiss house best known for Cool Water (1988), the fragrance that essentially invented the modern aquatic-masculine category and defined "cool-fresh" for a generation. The catalogue leans masculine (24 of 24 live pieces) and Fresh (17 of 24), cool grapefruit, juniper, mint, cedar. Prices run $18.56-$121 (average $69), positioning Davidoff squarely as accessible-designer with heritage credibility. Standout pieces on Scendira: Silver Shadow Altitude ($18.56,.26, grapefruit-juniper-green cedar), Zino Davidoff ($71.20,.16, classic lavender fougère with cedar smoke), Cool Water Ocean Extreme ($74.19,.14, cool mint and juniper over cedar). The brand's Fresh dominance makes it a natural gateway for shoppers new to designer fragrance who want something recognizable, reliable and under $80. Feminine flankers like Cool Water Intense for Her ($41.52) extend the aquatic DNA into a green-fruity direction.
