Cool Water Deep (2004)
by Davidoff

This is a nice aquatic, fresh and simple, doesn't last all that long. It's certainly pleasant if not distinctive. When I first sprayed it I thought... I have smelled this before. Not a kind of resemblance, but an identity relationship. Something in another bottle, from another brand. I tried 2 or 3 from my wardrobe and nailed it... Dunhill Pure. This is Dunhill Pure. Not LIKE Dunhill Pure - I mean it IS Dunhill Pure. I sprayed Cool Water Deep on one arm and Pure on another and they are literally identical, top, middle and base, sillage, longevity. Same juice, different bottle. I think Deep is a little less expensive than Pure but neither is very expensive in the first place, and I suppose in the myriad fragrances out there, more than a few are bound to collide.

Or are they ACTUALLY the same concoction, in two different bottles / brands? It wouldn't be entirely surprising. But I can't over-emphasize the fact that these two scents are identical. Somehow I thought there was another one very similar to this... Eternity Summer 2008 was my first guess but that one was a little different. Anyhow, for what it's worth, if you like Pure, you'll like Deep. If you don't, you won't.

i agree with kahuna cowboy. very unimaginative and bland. not offensive but also not striking.for cheap aqua's stick with the original,echo and k.c. black.

A while ago I wanted a fresh casual go-to fragrance of the "Fresh n' Blue" genre (Paco Ultraviolet Man, Polo Blue, Issey Bleue,...) and wound up getting a small bottle of Cool Water Deep. As others have stated, it is like a (coherent!) mix of other fragrances, for me it is in the middle between Acqua di Gio and Polo Blue. No resemblance to the original Cool Water. For what it is it is okay, obviously nothing special or groundbreaking, but if you need an aquatic with a good dash of blueness and find Polo Blue just TOO blue, give it a shot. Sillage/Longevity was good on me.

I love it. A completely different scent from the original that stands on it's own just fine. Thumbs up!

A nice smelling mild fresh cologne, to me it smells like a mix of echo and the original cool water with the smell leading more towards echo on the dry down, would be nice if the smell lasted a little longer but its easy to top up after a few hours.

Opens up smelling very 'blue' and 'watery' similar to Polo Blue. Not very strong, but then again this type of fragrance isn't supposed to be. I like the opening a lot.

And then comes the dry-down....which smells exactly like sticking your nose in a jar of black pepper. What the hell? Who thought it would be a good idea to make a light and watery aquatic dry-down to black pepper? I want to sneeze just thinking about this fragrance.

This sucks.
