Davidoff Cool Water Parfum

Cool Water Parfum takes the familiar name into denser territory, opening on lemon and pink pepper before a single-minded vetiver heart takes hold.

Sandalwood forms almost the entire base, giving this Davidoff parfum an earthy, woody, soft spicy character quite different from the original eau de toilette. Longevity and sillage are both rated 4 out of 5, a step up from the classic, so expect it to last comfortably through a working day in Dhaka’s air conditioning.

It suits an office day, a casual evening or a dinner out equally well through the cooler months. Perfumer Jean-Christophe Hérault’s version comes as a 5–15 ml decant poured from the original bottle, an affordable way to compare it against the classic.
