Cool Water Reborn Woman
Cherry is the unexpected material in Davidoff Cool Water Reborn Woman Eau de Parfum 100ml, and it is what separates this from every other women's fragrance in the family.
Three materials, no more. Rose comes first, deep and a little sharp rather than soft, and cherry sits immediately beside it, not the boiled sweet version but something closer to the stone and the skin of the fruit, slightly bitter under the sweetness. The two together could easily have gone sickly, and the thing that prevents it is vetiver, which runs underneath them both, dry and grey and faintly smoky, pulling the fruit down towards earth.
It is a short composition and behaves like one. The three materials are all present within a minute or two and the rest of the wear is a gradual fading rather than a story. Worth knowing before you buy, because anyone expecting the layers of a classic floral will find this very direct indeed. It was released in 2023.
At eau de parfum strength it holds for seven hours or so, staying close to the skin after the first, which is good going for three materials. Cool weather and evenings suit it best, it is sold to women, and the cherry makes it rather more memorable than its price would lead you to expect. Two sprays are plenty, since the fruit carries further than it first appears to.
Davidoff began as a modest tobacconist in Geneva in 1911, and the cigars came later, under Zino Davidoff, while fragrance is licensed to a company of its own. Cool Water for men, from 1988, is the scent that anchors the whole range, with a women's edition following in 1996 and a steady run of flankers since.
