New Fragrance: Davidoff Hot Water Night.... nooooooooo!! Oud and rose!!!!!

Thread Starter 



"Built around the duality of grey amber and oud wood, Davidoff Hot Water Night is a sensual oriental spicy fragrance. Top notes of black pepper and juniper berries give way to the steadfast strength of cedar wood heart and the mesmerizing voluptuousness of rose absolute. A masterpiece in contrast and elegance"

I actually enjoy the original Hot Water quite a bit. Except for the heart notes, maybe it's the absinthe note that gives it this alcohol smelling phase. That aside, I quite enjoy it, although it gets bashed pretty hard. If someone told me, "imagine that with oud and rose". I would call it a sure winner.

I've never tried Hot Water so I can't really comment, but have to admit that I would be interested in trying this just for the sake of comparison to see what a mainstream house would be able to pull off.

I would literally hate if everybody on the streets smelled of Aoud. Aoud until now was reserved for people paying higher price but now everybody will smell of Aoud!!!

Such a stupid name. Notes don't sound bad, but how will it smell?

Hot Water was lukewarm at best. I'm not sure I want to try this. Maybe I'll wait for their next flanker - Hot Steam Bath.

Well, we've already had the crappiest oud ever this year (Calvin Klein Encounter), so anything is a step up. The notes sound interesting in this one, but I've never been particularly impressed with Davidoff fragrances in the past...

To bgoc: Blimey. I lived in UK for quite some time and I don't think I ever met anybody scented in oud. Are they really that many?

It's really not that popular still. Sure, many more designer houses are using oud in their fragrances, but it's still nowhere near the 1 Millions and Le Males and A*Mens and CK Ones of the world. Your average man isn't going to go and buy a fragrance because it has oud in it, they'll buy it (or have it bought for them) because of big ad campaigns or fancy bottles that look like other things.

Its time to revamp the thread about the next brands doing oud and check who guessed right on this option.

Yo, Hot Water isn't that bad. It takes a couple wearings to discover its inner qualities. I'd be surprised if this had a perceptible oud note in it at all, but I'm still excited to see what Davidoff's trying to do here. Thumbs up and can't wait to sample!

Also, did anyone notice that its gonna be an EAU DE TOILETTE INTENSE??? Because this is a limited edition, I'm definitely gonna grab one as I'm sure few will make it across the Atlantic! Look out Davidoff, cause here I come!

No there ain't many designer Aouds out there which keeps it clean on the street. But if every house keeps pushing Aoud to the general public then how are Basenotes going to smell different from the crowd?

Easy.

Go to the BN directory. Notice how in each house's library there will be a handful of scents with copious amounts of reviews, and the rest all remain largely ignored?

Start by sampling those. Doesn't need to have oud.

Davidoff doesn't put money and quality in their fragrances for them to really be successful ( smell wise). That being said, I will sample this one.

I find it amusing how people say they are getting tired of oud. Its always used as such a small part of the fragrance ! Did I just read that CK Encounter is an oud scent ? Don't make me laugh.

Is John Varvatos Vintage considered a juniper berry fragrance ?
Is Burberry London for Men considered a port wine fragrance ?

Just because a so called "note" is included in the fragrance pyramid, does not mean the whole fragrance will smell like it.

The Cartier Declaration Soir has set a trend, and Rose/Oud has reached the mainstream enough for Davidoff to pop them in a flanker ! Incredible !!

When I hear the words "Hot Water" and then another word, I expect that word to be "Heater." (I'm not sure how common it is to call those things "hot water heaters." Growing up in the midwestern US we always called them that, but it seems like an odd name.)

It's a play on words on Cool Water.

Davidoff have been living off the 'cool water train' ever since it was released all those years ago.
To me, all of their male offerings since then have been mediocre at best. Still, since I'm a fragrance fanatic I will of course sample this, naturally...
