The Basenotes Men's Fragrance & Grooming Awards 2001
Best Men's Fragrance: Cool Water by Davidoff

Cool Water came out top in the award for best mens fragrance. Since it's launch in 1988, Davidoff's fresh fragrance has become a true classic.
The runner up was 212 Men by Herrera, and although only a few years old, we think it's destined to become a classic too.
Interestingly, last years winner, Vetiver, was nowhere to be seen in the top 15 having settled for 18 place. You are a fickle bunch aren't you!! ;)
