Cool Water Freeze Me (2008)
by Davidoff

I am in complete agreement that the ‘freeze me’ gimmick that tries to sell this flanker is silly. People have been putting 4711 and the like in their fridges and freezers for decades, so this is hardly a new concept. That said, I quite like this take on Davidoff’s hugely popular Cool Water.

It’s definitely citrusy in the opening, but not sweet citrus like the ‘Summer Fizz’ versions from past years; which reminded me so strongly of lemonade and faded after an hour or two. The mid and base notes of ‘freeze me’ don’t stray all that far from the original, but there is enough of a difference that if you need yet another fruity aquatic in your wardrobe, this is a good buy. For a summer version of Cool Water, I get surprisingly good longevity from this. It’s still going strong at least 5 hours after application. Sillage is on a par with the original.

Although it’s listed as discontinued, I didn’t have too much trouble tracking this down and only paying about $30 Aussie for a 125ml bottle. If you already have and love Cool Water, I probably wouldn’t bother with this. However, if like me you have run out of the original and can find this going cheap, why not give it a go.

I'm a huge fan of the Cool Water series. and I feel like this is a rip off. Coty's Avatar with the Cool Water drydown to stick in your fridge. For the most part I like the Cool Water variants but this gimmick is just plain silly.
