Description
Since its launch in 1988, the iconic Davidoff Cool Water is the scent of water and ocean. The new limited edition Cool Water Ocean Extreme comes out in summer 2016 and supports the National Geographic expedition “Pristine Seas” which aims to put world seas under protection.
Davidoff Cool Water Ocean Extreme is announced as a bitter and cool scent of explorers, the scent of deep water expeditions. It tries to paint the olfactory landscape of purest salty, vast spaces and dazzling reflection of light on the deep blue ocean.
The new interpretation remains true to the original composition and plays with intensified flavors that provide freshness and an aquatic character. The composition is created by Takasago perfumers Antoine Lie and Jean Jacques. Icy fresh top notes include frozen mint, juniper berries and rosemary. The aromatic heart is made of sea notes, lavender, sandalwood and geranium. The base provides a fresh, masculine signature with accords of cedar, crystal musk and seaweed.
It is available from mid-July 2016 as a 75 ml Eau de Toilette.

Light, beautiful, amazing. I used to love the original Cool Water, but then I got bored. This one is Cool Water DNA in its core and you can easily tell, but it’s dirtier in a good way. Then, it plays with your olfactory nerves, and you’ll find it very clean.
As a light fragrance it doesn’t project very well, but it’s probably what you want. It stole my heart very fast. I love it.

Love this one, the best flanker of them all!!
A little bit of the original and a little bit of Light Blue Intense by Dolce & Gabbana. And the drydown is similar to The One Sport by Dolce & Gabbana.
A winner, IMO!

Smells so close to Chanel Homme Sport Extreme !

Smells a lot like Bvlugari’s Aqva Marine.. clean and aquatic. Ocean Extreme, however, is missing the floral undercurrent that runs through Aqva Marine and this makes the seaweed notes in Ocean Extreme more jarring. this is not an unpleasant fragrance, however. Longevity is good and got mine rather inexpensively. Not a bad buy…unless you already own Aqva Marine than it’s a redundant one.

Nice clean smell.

Reminds me of creed green Irish tweed and Erolfa creed mixed. And yes I have both creeds. But it doesn’t last long is good when you want something light that smells like creeds and is cheap. Don’t know how long it last or what just got at tjmaxx for 19.99 so we will see. If you like Bvlgari Aqua Marine Dior salvage and creed and such you should like this it has same family smell.

Davidoff Cool Water Ocean Extreme is a nice flanker to the original Cool Water. It is a little bit of a on the nose flanker to the original. That said it is more lighter and summer day ready than the original is. I mean the original is nearly an all year, all day scent. This however is more minty than the original while fairly close to it. That said it is in no way as minty as Cool Water Night Dive.
I notice the mint, the watery notes, lavender and the seaweed. These are notes i do like so it does smell nice, better than Cool Water but it don’t last. I get about and hour of highly soft/slightly moderate projection and about three to four as a skin scent. It is like, as I found with the original Cool Water but it isn’t that unique. It maybe unique to its genre due to the added seaweed note (which isn’t overly common) but it is nothing truly ground breaking as Bvlgari did it with Aqva Pour Homme. I can’t say however that I hate this scent. I’ll wear it for a dumb reach when I’m at work, going on errands or for vacation, but I don’t think I would get another bottle (which for most Cool Water flankers, isn’t common.)
Due to the lasting issues and how use wise it is limited to summertime day dumb reach and use I can’t rate it super high. I do like it but I can’t rate it anyhigher than 7.1 out of 10.

This one smells like most of the mint-heavy flankers to CW I’ve tried, except with an obscenely gargantuan synth-salt note smeared across the otherwise polite aromatics. Like experiencing CW Coral Reef through a cloud of Dollar Store Sea Mist deodorant spray. No thanks.

I am so impressed with this, it’s a proper masculine fragrance, very oceanic and salty, yet deep and very invigorating, I get more of a vibe of the original Cool Water if I’m honest, yet deeper and more extreme. It smells wonderful, but as has been mentioned, the downside is that it doesn’t last long enough, nor does it project well. Better on clothes then on the skin in terms of longevity. Thumbs up from me.

Smells amazing!! One the most unique limited editions Davidoff has released in quite some time. However…I just wish it had better (or any) longevity. Lasts for 90 minutes at best. But it smells so good that I’m still glad I got it. I think it makes for a good midday pick-me-up, a quick blast of refreshment if you’re dragging through the afternoon. Ocean Extreme has just enough of the original Cool Water dna that you could layer some of that with it to provide some lasting power.

Thumbs up for EvanOz85’s review below, I agree, no real similarities with Night Dive which is actually a total different scent, I don’t even class Night Dive a flanker, Davidoff should have marketed it as something new.
Anyway, Ocean Extreme is the best flanker for Cool Water in three years IMHO (the original is one of my favourite fragrances and I have all the flankers back as far as 2013), definitly a step above summer seas/exotic summer/coral reef as I really struggle to tell them apart.
This one shares just enough of the originals DNA but is more bitter, darker and quite masculine. Reminds me (just a little) of Aqua Quorum, refreshing and quite strong.
It’s a solid like from me 🙂

The addition of seaweed really separates this flanker from the past several years offerings. I have almost every CW edition released, and can tell you that most of the recent ones basically smell the same (Coral Reef, Pure Pacific, Into the Ocean, Exotic Summer, etc). It’s odd that Davidoff released two Summer flankers for 2016 in the men’s line, this and Exotic Summer, but this is definitely the better of the two. If you have the original CW, or one of the other flankers, this one offers enough variation in scent to have both. I don’t get the Night Dive similarities that another reviewer mentioned; Night Dive is a warm tobacco vanilla scent while Ocean Extreme is a salty seaweed smell somewhat like a mix of the original Cool Water and Bvlgari Aqva Marine. Definitely a thumbs up from me.

Smells minty. It has more in common with Night Dive than with the original CW. It isn’t extreme in terms of
performance either, just the standard Coty strength.

If this is a toned up version of the original, then I can’t wait to get my nose on this…if I can.
