Description
The iconic Davidoff fragrance Cool Water from 1988 gets its “nocturnal” flanker Cool Water Night Dive in 2014. The fragrance interprets that aquatic and natural character of the original through the prism of night mystique and powerful forces of nature. The man od this fragrance is at the peak of his attractiveness; his charisma is like a magnet that attracts women.
The composition gives away the atmosphere of chilly ocean nights; it is somewhat oriental and green. It opens with a splash of cold fresh mint, ocean accord, mastic, pistachio wood and watery fruits. The heart features modern and oriental notes of cashmere, black pepper and tobacco mixed with sage. The base notes include amber, musk, woods and suede.
The fragrance is available as 50, 75 and 125 ml Eau de Toilette with accompanying cosmetic products.

Awesome flanker.
Better than CW Wave.
Lovely herbal middle note.
Clearly related to the original but different enough to justify.
I get the usual CW opening with green herbs almost like coriander.
It dries down with the mint fading to a fresh aquatic with the pistachios and woody feel (maybe more like nutmeg) with the tobacco? coming across as rather dry hence my nutmeg suggestion. The fruit (that combined makes it feel green) also becomes more prominent with a hint of black pepper on top.
Moderate performance for an EDT but like Issey Miyake Summer Edition 2015 this is a very nice change up from the usual Aquatic Citrus. I’ll use it regularly.
Happy Smelling

It’s quite different from the original but still I believe it’s a good one if you get it at a decent price , nothing too great but at a discount a must try
vadim1806 – :
at first, i did not like this fragrance.
then after a few days of trying, i have grown to appreciate and love it.
i’m not usually a fan of explosive and strong opening which this fragrance has but however, i was amazed on how it finishes to a very sweet, aromatic and wonderful dry-down.
this humble scent is a monster in performance.
it stays on my skin for an unbelievable 6+ hours!
this scent is best worn at night.
it performs really, really well!
amazing.
seceZooxHaics – :
Smells exceptionally cheap.
It’s that vile nondescript fruity accord that happens to be the culprit. I, for the life in me, cannot quite understand why it is featured here and with such intensity. His feminine counterpart is such a lovely and likable creation, creamy with that delicious mastic and pistachio combo. It is impossible to dislike it.
This one smells desperate, thirsty and needlessly loud.
The fruitiness of this is so cumbersome that it suffocates all the aquatic elements and even the mint note that should have been so prominent! They should have intensified the tobacco and pistachio, gotten rid of the synthetic smelling fruits, and added some muted mastic in this – the same mastic that works so beautifully in Night Dive for Women.
Then it would have been an affordable masterpiece of a flanker.
It has loud sillage and astonishing longevity, and the drydown is admittedly agreeable for a trashy cologne of this sort. It is a sensual after-smell in a shame-based sort of way. But that wretched fruit salad of an opening is inexcusable no matter how you slice it.
This cologne is kind of like that musty scent that you can easily find in and around highschool locker rooms. The bottle is very handsome in person, and I love the sapphire-to-black ombre effect that signifies the unsettling darkness of the depth of the sea beautifully.
I wish the potion housed in it had been… better.
cuzma.slav – :
Sweet, but dirty. Is that possible?
I’m not sure if I’d classify this is an aquatic. It bears little resemblance to the original Cool Water (which, considering what that fragrance has become, isn’t a bad thing), and there are too many fruits and too much musk to remind me of a day at the beach, or a cruise, or a pool, or whatever feelings aquatics are supposed to elicit. I’m not getting any of that.
This isn’t a bad thing, mind you. Cool Water Night Dive is a very distinct flanker that’s easily more versatile than the original, can be worn at day or night, and just has a lot more going on in general. There’s a depth to it that I like…maybe it’s the woodsy notes or the pistachio? Certainly an ambitious mix of notes, there.
I have yet to really “click” with this one (mediocre performance being the main reason), but if given the choice between Night Dive and the current formulation of the original Cool Water, I’d take this one every time. Just a more modern and pleasing scent.
Varchun628 – :
For being a cool water flanker it doesn’t really smell like it. It’s very similar to gravity but a little more aquatic.
Night dive is a very fitting name as it captures the scent of a night swim perfectly.
Think musky,dark berries and mint.
xso – :
I would say this and Versace Dylan blue are very similar on the opening. This is dirtier and more casual. I love how blue this is but then it turns purpleish. It is sweet and it is spicy but done right not tingy
It projects for like 1 then lays low for at least 6 hours
After wearing night dive now a few times I realized this smells like Gravity
erik27 – :
Davidoff’s attempt at rochas man. Very similar
mupespous – :
I recently purchased this fragrance as a blind buy. I have also never owned the original Davidoff Cool Water so I guess you could say my review is unbiased (to an extent).
This cologne definitely has some sweetness to it and this is the main note that I pick up right off the bat. After that, once I start to pay more attention to the scent, I can pick up some sea notes, mint, some woody notes (particularly after it has dried), and a slight tobacco note. Based on the overall smell, this is definitely something that would work better in warmer weather (summer & spring) and of course, at nighttime (although day wear should be fine it it’s not too hot).
When it comes to dishing out dough for this cologne, I would definitely try before you buy because although it is a nice scent, it may be too sweet and/or cloying to some.
Longevity is at around the upper range of moderate, perhaps lasting about ~4.5 to 5 hours before I need press my nose against my skin to pick it up.
As far as Sillage goes, it is definitely on the upper end of Moderate. It is definitely strong in the first hour.
In conclusion, I dig this scent and I look forward to using it during the warmer months. Overall I would give this cologne a 4/5.

This is my revised review of Davidoff’s Cool Water Night Dive.
Wow, what an amazing scent that I find is great, not over-powering and rather long lasting. I got this one blind from Kohl’s for under $20 for a 1.7oz/50ml gift set. It was being clearenced out and I still had money on a Kohl’s gift card so I figured that I would try and use it on this fragrance. I had chosen wisely with this one.
It’s not your run of the mill aquatic. Personally when people say “I hate aquatics, aquatics are bland and smell like any beach.” If you have smelt aquatics, you might have smelt them all. Let’s face it: Davidoff Cool Water (the original), Bath & Body Works Ocean, Guy Laroche Drakkar Essence, Bigelow Barbershop Elixir Blue, Ralph Lauren Polo Blue, etc. all kind of smell alike, and I honestly do like aquatics. This one, the flanker to Cool Water, Cool Water Night Dive however is much more. Mint, mixed fruits and berries and pepper make it different from most aquatic scents I’ve bought in the past and the aquatics that even most people have smelt. The mix of the classic Cool Water notes and the special notes specific or enhanced for this flanker, make it stand out scent wise in the aquatic category.
This is also the rare night-time aquatic fragrance as most are mainly day scents. For though me, I find it even works in the day time. Seasonal wise it can last from about the end of winter, when the snow melts away in March, until about the time snow falls in November, giving you roughly a 10 month scent. That also the scent gives pretty decent sillage and a long about 6 to 8 hour window, long for both an aquatic and a mint based fragrance.
Now for the weird confession part of this review, while I have of course smelt Cool Water during my fragrance journey, I never owned one of my own. Now that you are shocked, hear me out. This is because I have owned both Bath & Body Work’s Ocean (my first-ever fragance) and Bigelow’s Barbershop Elixir Blue (one I sold off) which smell close enough to the original. After buying this however, I just might buy he classic. Sadly though, I imagine that I will have high expectations that will be hard to lived up to based on this awesome flanker.
I have to give it a 9 out 10. I came to this rating for its price, as even at my under $20 for the 1.7oz giftset, I STILL can get a 2.5oz for not much more. As I mentioned already, its smell is great, it is fairly versatile and the fact I can get a work day out of this cologne, even with mint make it a titan in its genre.
Di_gfufi – :
Cool Water Night Dive Davidoff is a good summer time fragrance with good price as well especially the fruits and woody notes with moderate longevity and projection and a nice bottle design.
Purefang – :
The description states ocean nights and I attend to agree. I wear this on the days when I want to smell fresh.Fresh like getting out of the shower fresh or just ironed my crispy white shirt fresh. Longevity and sillage are above average and I get many compliments while wearing this Gem. Try it out. I do not think you will be disappointed.
GordonSt – :
Extremely pleasant summer smell! Not like as the original Davidoff Cool Water, but is very modern and at the same time very chic! Overall perfume remains a pleasant hint of ocean mixed with forest and wild flowers. This remix of flavors is very successful in my opinion is one of the top leaders for the summer. The exceptional duration surprised me pleasantly. Pleasant and not intrusive male scent that can be in the office and on the beach throughout the day and evening.
tunano – :
This is a strange one for me, although I’m somewhat impartial regarding it “Night Dive” has actually gathered quite a few compliments in my work place. Today one of the ladies from the office followed me to the kitchen to ask me what it was, according to her it “smells expensive”.
I had thought it actually wore off but it’s obviously a scent that has decent silage, (the same lady also liked “Impeccable” by Aramis which is another scent that stays longer than you think) so the wearer must get noseblind to it.
Regarding the scent itself, it actually reminds me of “Hot Water” by the same house. It has a spicy sweetness to it. Like I said, it seems a bit familiar to me but if ladies like it I’ll happily wear it for work, any fragrance that gets you a compliment guys is a keeper in my opinion.
The bottle looks pretty cool, I got the boxset with the aftershave balm and shower gel (great price I must admit) and even the box looks great, I’m using it to store some of my smaller decants and oil bottles.
Good! 🙂

Good scent but ;
Scent: 8/10
Longevity: 6/10
Sillage: 5/10
GreeN73 – :
This definitely shares a vague similarity with Joop! Jump, but it’s more similar to Playboy VIP, Cotton Club, and Mennen’s Skin Bracer. Unlike Jump, Night Dive’s fougere accord becomes a rather uncomplicated lavender sweetness with hints of patchouli, honey, powder, and tobacco. There is a heavy sweetness in the top notes, mainly a pineapple fruitiness mixed with a touch of mint, but otherwise this is in wetshaver territory. Not great, but not bad. Of this type, I think I like Skin Bracer and VIP the best, but this isn’t far behind in terms of its style. But somehow I just don’t like it that much. Despite its classification I wouldn’t reach for Night Dive if I could wear the others mentioned.
Mitya Mitya – :
I like it. It’s a good scent, the sillage is heavy and log lasting for longevity. Try it and You don’t regret.
Sheaphedatsax – :
Smells very fruity and sweet! Makes me think of berries(e.g. blueberries, blackberries. To an extent some grapes!)
Does not have similarities with the original CW. I find that it is not even an aquatic!
This should have been a different fragrance rather than a Cool Water flanker. Maybe Hot Water Tropics or Into the Night?
bakeys – :
a clear punch in the face of lovely aromatics…its not usual…smells fantastic…and biggg bang for da buck…chuck
jarya – :
I was bargain hunting and found this in a gift set on clearance at Marshalls for 24 bucks 4.2 oz bottle and shower and aftershave balm. Too good of a deal not to pass up.
Worth picking up. Smells like the O.G Cool Water but to me its a more updated version of it and has a life of its own. So smooth. I’m not much of a fan of Davidoff colognes except for Cool Water and now Night dive.
like the other reviewer said does smell like Gucci guilty and I can smell the similarities with the joop jump, but only in the dry down. Joop jump opens very citrusy and Night Dive doesn’t.
I think its a great overall fragrance.
igitsman – :
lasted 9 hours on me , check my review on youtube , check my profile there is a link
Xeroxobenm – :
this Night Dive is less sharp at initial spray as compared to the original which can be a turnoff.it smells modern and less powerful.can’t go wrong with either but night dive has nice initial opening.i found cool water to be a better scent than Versace pour homme.
Cool water Night Dive is better than the original.pleasant scent.
john.green – :
I LOVE THIS COLOGNE…..plain and simple. I have not smelled this original cool water unfortunately (I guess I owe it to myself to do so) but I came across this one day and said to myself…”why not?” The fragrance is advertised as being a cool aquatic which is partly true (it is cooling) but more in a richer greener-blue sense. The opening is a bit sharp and a bit sweet but quickly turns into a dark aromatic fruity musk. Just a touch of citrus thankfully. Getting a little tired of all those heavily citrus based freshies. There’s just to many ways you can do fresh and I think all the aqua di gio rip offs have made their point. lol So being that this one is a flanker of the original that came out in 88, makes it beneficial in that it has somewhat of an old school feel to it and also its not as widely used as it was back in the 80’s and 90’s. So if you’re a younger gentleman you would probably do very well with this. I also want to mention that this frag contains tobacco and black pepper notes which adds a nice sexy and masculine counter balance to the freshness and if anything would most likely make this the ideal night out on the town fragrance. Can also be used during the day for that matter, work or school, if you go easy on the trigger. I really owe it to myself to pick up the original to make a comparison but in all honestly you can’t go wrong with this one! TWO THUMBS UP!!!!
OH and to settle the old GIT comparison with Cool Water debate………yes they are VERY similar. But in my very honest opinion GIT is a bit more of a richer, greener, darker scent with CWND being lighter and slightly more blue and a bit more synthetic especially in the dry down. But they are similar. Also as each scent progresses GIT maintains its natural rich feeling while CWND becomes more musky. Just my opinion but at the end of the day, to the common nose, those differences are gonna be hard to detect so be aware of that if you’re gonna want to shell out 300 plus dollars on a bottle of GIT compared to as low as 20 dollars for this fragrance. Also keep in mind that this comparison is being made with this flanker not the original but the similarities are still relevant, to my nose. The dry down differences might very well be a product of this being a flanker.

I just bought my third bottle of Cool Water Night Dive and I’ve been using it since last summer. Whenever I use it and a women gets into my area and smells the perfume, I get many compliments and I get asked what my perfume was. So i can tell you, that its attractive and this is confirmed by the words of nearly 30 women. I’m using it mostly when I’m at the lounge or the bar on the weekend in the summetime. I would recommend to use it just in the summetime or spring, because its a really fresh and a bit fruity perfume. I reminds me of the blue ocean, the beach and a mystic aura that surrounds the user. I’m always thinking of James Bond in “Casino Royale” when he goes to the casino in the beginning of the movie. Its a fresh and powerful perfume for the summertime and no doubt – You will be recognized by the women!
wheence – :
This is good stuff! doesn’t resemble the original. It was modern with a foot in the younger modern clubbing type of vibe? performance was ok if it was better I would own!
erurlertyh – :
yea.. very true.. woody aquatic.. sums up all..
lekha75 – :
A wonderful men’s product which I discovered almost by chance,as with all great things.It is absolute perfection.
amba004 – :
Night Dive is a lovely, fresh, salty, seawater aquatic that is redolent of an early evening walk by the seaside on a perfect summer evening. I feel clean, refreshed and optimistically summery when wearing this perfume. It’s a scent that makes you feel new, young, lively, buoyant and alive. Take me to the seaside, where we can walk along the promenade and take in that wonderfully bracing, life enhancing, naturally fresh salty sea air. That is what you get when you purchase a bottle of Night Dive, and that is also why I absolutely adore this wonderfully refreshing sea enthused fragrance.
wju831JeomiWogkig – :
Nice and pretty unique scent,but the performance is terrible. it stays about two hours on my skin and i’m not exaggerating.
whisper4 – :
Strangely enough whenever I wear this fragrance it makes me want to go swimming at a beach during the night, coincidence? I think not. Overall good scent and performance, great price too, I give this 7/10.
alisya – :
Wanted to test this flanker for a while now,was a bit hesitant to purchase without testing.Kohls has is at jewelry counters for testing now,along with 10$ off coupon.
What can I say?Aquatic notes are not pronounced,it’s fruity,with woody accord in the back.Nothing special,nothing new.Not bad though.Resembles Echo Davidoff,the latter one is actually much better.
Obviously I decided not to purchase it and I don’t even feel bad about it.
exokrond – :
I smelled this new flanker to Cool Water at Macys and at Kohls only on paper, I have not tried it on skin.. I have worn the original Cool Water which I always was a fan of, but this is a bit different.. Night Dive opens up very fresh but still somewhat dark.. Cool Water was always darker than most aquatic scents and so is Night Dive..
The Cool Water DNA is there but Night Dive is very different.. Sea notes and mint make a very fresh opening while the fruity notes add some type of depth to the opening which smells nice.. As it starts to dry down a bit there is a lot of cashmere wood, maybe a touch of pepper, sage, and tobacco but just a touch.. There is a nice suede note in the base along with a sweet amber which sweetens Night Dive up as it dries down.. All together Night Dive is nothing really unique or ground breaking but than again it is only a flanker to Davidoff Cool Water.. For what it is I like it and find it pleasant.. If I end up finding it at Marshalls someday for under $30 I might think about buying it..
volakic – :
What a shock, I have no idea how this could get such bad reviews. Well actually, yes, I do know
I’m under 25 and when I read the note breakdown of this frag, I knew this would be beautiful, if Davidoff managed to pull it off right. Now I’ve smelt the original Cool Water before, didn’t like it one bit. I got enticed to buy a gift set of the Night Dive at TJ Maxx for $40, crossed my fingers, and hoped for the best when I sprayed it on my wrist. Wow was I taken back. This stuff smells great and stays true to the note breakdown on here. Oh and performance is actually pretty good. I get about 6 hours longevity and long lasting/average sillage/projection respectively. I think this gets a bad wrap because of its dissimilarity to the original. This is almost completely different save for some spicy depth in the dry down. I would also say it suites young people (under 30) better, but is in no way, shape, or form feminine.
For those still curious as to how this stuff smells: picture being in front of the ocean at night. A breeze blows a faint trace of fruits underpinned by a foundation of the ocean’s abyss. The cashmeran compliments the dry down perfectly. Everything is blended well, and it smells very original.
Great stuff, but I would only buy this at the $40 price point.
A-c-T-i-v – :
Based on the reviews here, i took this one as a below average frag. Been passing this one for quite sometime, until i decided to give it a fair shot.
I was taken aback!! wonderful, deliciously sweet yet fresh fragrance. Freshness at first and calms down to a sticky sweetness (a very delicious and pleasant sweetness)The first thing that came to my mind was intimate close moments. Bought it.
..annnnd guess what! Women LOVE it!!! seriously!! I’ve been asked a lot of times what I’m wearing. I’m really surprised because for a cheap frag, this is one has great performance.
Though this is designed for the evening moments, I do wear it in the office. Got compliments at office as well.
Scent: 8/10
Longevity: 8.5/10
Sillage: 7/10
monya0880 – :
Good scent, nice notes, summer fragrance.. But bad longevity.
I guess this is the main problem with most aquatic fragrances, only rare are found with good longevity.
I can definitely smell watery notes, fruity notes, mint, and amber, but that’s it. I don’t get the rest.
Scent 7/10
Longevity 5/10
Sillage 6/10
jekaarm – :
I was at the cK counter and was looking for Eternity Night for Men but it was out of stock so the Perfume Advisor there offered this instead and said it had a similar scent. He was right. But since I am not much of a Davidoff fan, I ended up going for Euphoria Gold.
Smoke19 – :
Mix Cool Water with FCUK Him and you more or less have Night Dive. It’s nice but not at all unique. I’d consider buying it if it wasn’t for its shocking performance. Well it is a Coty product after all.
seodwnwdj – :
Very nice release from Davidoff. Nose behind this fragrance is Jean Christophe Herault. Scent itself is pretty versatile, with a nice mix of fresh and sweet notes. Night Dive stands out from the crowd thanks to its prominent Mastic tree note. While not excessively unique, this fragrance is well blended and highly enjoyable. Night Dive has pretty good longevity and moderate projection. Surprisingly good quality.
prizrak123321 – :
Another year, another Cool Water variant. Davidoff waste no time exploiting the best thing they ever created, and like most of what came after the original Cool Water it is designed to squeeze out your cash. It is neither good nor bad, so it will not threaten the original Cool Water from the thrown, neither will it annoy you so that you would lose interest concerning next year.
In fact, it is a nice mixture of typical male scents of the past 20 years. There’s a bit of Aramis Life in it, a bit of Davidoff’s own Adventure, maybe a trace of In2U. No one will regret buying it, and no one will love it. And no one will remember it in 10 years time.

Blilsaspese – :
Dissapointed with this fragrance. I was expecting something daring, adventurous, and sensual….. but, it smells very generic to me. I can pick up any cheap drug store fragrance that smells exactly like this. It’s fairly cheap, but doesn’t even compare to Cool Water, as many have stated. It’s bottle is the best part, very well made resembling almost all Davidoff men fragrances.
Overall —
Scent 4/10
Longevity 5/10
Sillage 4/10
stepnn77 – :
Not the worst yet not the best. It’s scent seems to be just so generic with the likes of Diesel The Brave and Paco Rabanne One Million for Men. The original Davidoff Cool Water is a lot better than this one. I wouldn’t mind buying one but if ever, this will be an everyday perfume for me. When it lasts longer on the skin, sometimes it settles down to smell like an anti-septic solution like Betadine. Good effort for Davidoff though.
Dimohka – :
This seems like yet another fragrance that was at the Macy’s counter recently added that I was excited to try but ultimately let down. I just didn’t know what to make of it…I got a sea, fruity, spiciness vibe that smelled just boring. It seemed to smell like an older release (Not modern) which confused me. It didn’t smell like Cool Water but somehow it has that vibe to it. Maybe I’ll give it a second chance but from the reviews I’ve read, probably not.
290400 – :
After I bought blind yesterday, I have tried to wear it today.
Top notes – I smell the mix fruits, mint and sea which are blended to make me feel impressive for this about 10 minutes. The projection is good for this period.
Heart notes – I smell the pepper, sage and something looks like the cashmere wood mix with musky note about 1 hr., and then the tobacco showed itself which feeling sensual & sweet. I can feel the warm smell of amber behind them. The projection is normal about 2 inches.
Base notes – After I sprayed it about 4 hrs., I feel the warmth from amber note that blended with musky note and a little bit woody notes til it was gone around 6 hrs., so the projection is close to skin.
The smell made me feel like staying near the beach in the night to see some of the star in the sky at the tropical island in Thailand and drinking some of mix juice. I think it is not about the diving in the night at all.
Cool Water Night Dive is suitable for the man who would like to wear some of the safe scent which is sensual, warm and a little bit fresh. it can use both of the day and night time in every situations with a soft projection.
for me it is good, but it is not great. ^^!
Fabulous – :
Its OK not a bad scent but its sweet and smells nothing like the original cool water its basically a different scent using the cool water name and bottle guess cause its the company most successful fragrance I’m a big time fan of the original been wearing it since HS I’m a 90’s guy class of “98” but this scent doesn’t have that “wow” effect like the original I’d buy it one day but only for a big discounted price like 50% to 60% off it smells decent though
Cigalo – :
When I went to the perfume shop and smelled it. it was great. but when it cools down it feels dull and not great. I wish the smell of the first notes stay as they are.
pahaha – :
Smells like Davidoff Cool Water for men but I could swear it is a bit fruitier. Typical nice men cologne, nothing new, well, but better than nothing on a guy.
voteban – :
long story short .
gucci guilty in a blue davidoff bottle.
cheaper price , last longer.
Ideal for summer nights.
Done!!!
sawentiy – :
It seems that every mainstream perfume has exactly the same smell lately. Cerrutti, Davidoff, Calvin Klein, Fendi, Versace etc.. Basically there is no difference.
This one has an opening which is similar to Dsquared’s Ocean Wet Wood. It dries down after 5-10 minutes, and then, without any more changes stays there this sweetish smell, that’s everywhere in this year.
It’s not bad, actually girls like it, but it’s highly uncreative, and I don’t understand why these so called luxury brands doesn’t turn more attention on these fragrances.
+ It’s cheaper than other fragrances with the same smell. So if you like this fruity-ambery smell, than it’s worth it’s price. Not for perfume aficionados.
MyBestZytr – :
It has nothing to do with the vintage cool water vibe in my opinion. It is more warm spicy and semi sweet fragrance than aquatic on my skin,an interesting result thought with a decent versatility. Longevity and projection on average level. All in all it is not something memorable but on the other hand not something that you will ignore. It deserves a decent place on the market,nothing more or less.
PlogoutgorO – :
An aquatic opening with a familar Davidoff vibe, which ends with more creamy…
I applied 6 heavy sprays
0 – 2 hours – 1 foot of light projection. This is modern and cool with a vey mellow mint and aquatic vibe, which could be sporty, but at the minimum is white T-shirt and jeans. The decent projection appeared to die after 1 hour, but it soon came back and was there for 2 hours which suprised me.
2 hours – 3.5 hours – 4 inch projection. This starts to turn more creamy as the amber starts to dominate. I am not saying that this smells the same as Davidoff Hot Water or Joop Go but it is now similar in texture and style – very creamy and synthetic.
3.5 hours – 5 hours- Close to skin and lovely – like ice, smooth sweetness
This lives in the shadow of cool water and I don’t see this fragrance being in production for long – there is no complexity or depth to this frag.
Not for me
abj612speagoessenda – :
The notes are amazing! I knew there was mint because my skin felt a tingle of coolness and it was refreshing!
The silage is good, it lasted up to 2 1/2 hours until now, which makes it 3 hours.
Another great perfume from Davidoff.
Definitely a great buy!
EagepadsBraps – :
update: this one only lasts 1 hour, after that it vanishes from the skin. no need ..
uhr556elipseskism – :
I don’t know what it is about some of the new fragrances I’ve tried recently but Night Dive has the same insipid quality! I don’t know why a cool water flanker now has this heavy clunky feel and a lack of originality. I honestly thought the note breakdown seemed interesting as you can see from my pre-review below. The opening is very much a complex, sea like slightly salty feel which attempts to transition into a sexy feel of tobacco in the heart. The tobacco note is not that pronounced but still quite nice, just doesn’t work that well for me and it sadly becomes a bit of a creamy wash out. Night Dive is reminiscent of Versace Eros, which is also complex but totally dissatisfying. A vanilla and tonka feeling, nondescript woods and aquatic slighty fruity scent. From that description you might be able to tell that Davidoff threw too many flavours at Night Dive and as a result have ended up with something generic.
Again don’t get me wrong it’ll probably sell well and is perfectly wearable for most and certainly not as bad as ‘The Game’ flanker which was just plain awful! I mentioned it has it’s moments, the tobacco warmth is quite pleasant but untimately unrewarding in the end as the longevity is poor too.
The best Cool Water flanker ever is Hot Water a sexy underrated scent for the evening.
Margosha – :
not to forgett is the salty note, the one you also get in the original, only toned down
klipaeodogkhfq – :
its like eros + fruits and a better done vanilla .. ( i find the vanilla in eros to be very cheap, got a chalky quality in the drydown ) nothing special here but it smells very good ! you will smell like mint+vanilla(tonka) with some fruits .. good one
zlc284speagoessenda – :
Tonka bean is the main note here once again alongside mint. After an hour more or less, tonka bean is less potent and the smell becomes close to skin, sweet and woody with a slight fruity undertone.
I don’t find any similarities with original Cool Water except for mint.
All in all, the fragrance is ok.
sako – :
It is already available in Russia. I would describe Night Dive as a warm aquatic, the new direction of the male perfumery that is so popular today. It is synthetic, harsh, though very modern. It shares the mood of Versace Eros and Polo Red, if you like them, you will like Night Dive.
It starts fresh in a salty way, then becoming fruitier (I feel melony notes) and finally, while modern molecules and tonka play their game, it turns into warm, semi-sweet semi-fresh fragrance with nuances of a mint coldness. On skin it smells much warmer than on the paper. The longevity and sillage are worse than Eros and Polo red have.
2010fadeev – :
If you visit Davidoff’s website they say it will launch in the month of July 2014… I love cool water so i’m excited about this fragrance!
