What Wearers Say
Davidoff Cool Water
One longtime wearer enjoys the fresh mint-and-lavender opening and woody drydown.
Some wearers find it soapy or detergent-like.
Some owners want better staying power, although another regular wearer is satisfied with their bottle.
Rasasi Al Wisam Day
One wearer enjoys the slight rose touch alongside a metallic freshness.
Another wearer likes catching gentle wafts of it throughout their working day.
One decant wearer finds the rose overwhelming and prefers a less rosy scent.
That wearer also finds the woods drier than they wanted.
The Verdict
Cool Water is our pick for a fresh classic. Pierre Bourdon's 1988 fougère is peppermint and lavender, geranium and oakmoss, over sandalwood, amber and musk. Al Wisam Day has the same core of lavender, geranium, oakmoss, sandalwood, amber and musk. It adds bergamot, rose and clary sage, and a little oud in the base. That makes it rounder and darker. Choose Al Wisam Day if Cool Water feels too thin.
