Cool Water 'Ice Fresh' is definitely worth a sniff!

I tried this today. Whilst I don't really appreciate the similarities between the original and GIT, this one is VERY similar to GIT. The dry down is practically identical to my nose. It's like GIT mixed with a bit of Virgin Island Water. I'll definitely be picking this one up.

I dont know.
I'l most likely get it for collections sake but I wasn't impressed when I sniffed it a couple of days back. Too fruity, too messy, too synthetic.

Thanks for the heads up! I'd probably give this a sniff if I come across it in the aisles. But frankly I'm kinda tired of these numerous Cool Water flankers. Davidoff really should stop hitching every other release on their golden egg-producing 'Cool Water' goose. That goose is old...and dead tired.

A wonderful aquatic fragrance... Especially for this summer. Better than GIT.

It'l pop up everywhere sooner or later.
Saw it for the first time a few weeks back in a smaller, well organised perfumery but the big shots dont carry it yet, either.

I just bought this blind. My 3rd blind buy ever. First 2 were a miss for me. Hopefully 3rd the lucky charm. Otherwise, I'm striking out of this blind buying business, But to be fair, I can't find this anywhere in store to test.

I like the original CW. But find it a little too subdued sometimes. Too dull. Which is why I prefer GIT with it's bright violet notes in the heart of it.

Hopefully the summer citrus addition to Cool water with this Ice Fresh flanker will improve the original. I can hope that it does!

Just got mine in the mail. Been about 30 minutes. Nothing special. You're not missing anything. Not great sillage as far as I can smell, and even when smelled close, smells like the same "musty" Cool Water with MAYBE a slight synthetic lemon note, but hardly "ICE FRESH".

To "VITO", mystery 1 post user, this is NO WAY better than Green Irish Tweed. Not even close.

Save your money. Better off buying the original, I find that a bit better. I'm pretty disappointed, but hey, that's the last blind buy I'm ever going to do.
