What its composition says

11 materials declared, against 7.6 on average in the catalogue: the formula is fuller than usual.
3 materials on top, 4 in the heart, 4 in the base: the three stages are of comparable size.
Rosemary: its rarest material, which only 35 of the 1,980 perfumes analysed in the catalogue contain — about one in 57.
White musk: conversely, one of the most widely used materials in the catalogue — 50% of the analysed perfumes contain it.

Strengths

Great versatility: goes from the office to dinner without a false note.

you want very long-lasting wear: its freshness fades.

What people like in Cool Water by Davidoff is its crisp, luminous freshness — the immediate “clean” effect, effortless, that suits everyone.
