Basenotes says...
One of the best selling fragrances ever. This fragrance along with Eternity by Calvin Klein, sparked a reinterest in the fresh fougere market. A Cool Water for women was launched in 1997.

   | Does anybody really need another review of Cool Water? Beats me, but here are my two (s)cents: Yes, it smells a lot like Green Irish Tweed, especially for the first half hour or so. And yes, it smells a little bit more obviously chemical. It's a relatively linear scent on me, and the drydown does not arrive at the familiar Creed millésime base. It's pleasant enough, if somewhat cheap smelling, but what works against it most is that it's over-used and too often imitated. In all fairness I should forgive Cool Water for spawning so many inane progeny, but I'm not sure that I'm a big enough person. 12 December 2009 |
 | Don't listen to the anti-fresh scent fragrance snobs. Fresh scents serve a purpose and this one is great. It's popular for a reason. You smell really clean and still masculine with it. Check it out if you have been living under a rock. 07 December 2009 |
 | This to me is quite simply and deservedly a brilliant ‘mass market’ fragrance that ticks 99% of the boxes that mere mortals use to judge a scent. Perhaps the only thing it has got going against it is its ubiquity, which ensures that everybody will know what you are wearing without needing you to tell them. 07 December 2009 |

| A normal fougere -- fruity, fresh woody amber catering to the lowest common denominator and aspires to nothing else. That's fair enough and the price reflects this -- it's perfectly put together and has made Pierre Bourdon ultra rich. It has also ruined the creativity and originality of 90% of subsequent maculines and I wish it hadn't been made. I personally don't like it or the legions of imitations that followed it, but as it was the first I can't really thumbs down. 25 November 2009 |

| This (along with the 1985 launch of Green Irish Tweed) sounded the bell for the release of hundreds of fresh, green, oceanic scents over the next two decades. Cool Water opens with synthetic citrus and orange blossom and dries down to a salty, oceanic note with musk and amber. Creed is deeper, but I am not personally a fan of this genre. 21 November 2009 |
