So, while out with SWMBO we were looking at Christmas Gifts. We wandered down the men's "gift" isle. You know the one where they have modern unmentionables and the canned gels. I happen to see a stand in the middle of the isle, I go look because my A.D.D. kicked in and what do you know, it is a gift set of "Davidoff Cool Water" 29.99 so of course I had to buy it. I'll be using it for my Monday shave. I am excited this year to see more frangrance on the shelves. Even if it is more of the 'modern' stuff, still cool for me to get to have a variety for lower costs.
Do y'all like "cool water" have you ever used it before?

That is a perfect clone of Creed's Green Irish Tweed. No one can tell them apart...and GIT is one of the most expensive popular colognes around. You got a great price.
Cool Water was my signature scent in the early '90's. I was wearing that daily when I was doing the cruise ships. I have to say...I got stopped more by chicks asking me what I was wearing, when I was wearing that, than any other cologne.
That was before I became a "Born Again Barber Shoppe Scent" kinda guy.
Let us know how you like it...Cool Water was super popular in the late 80's and early '90s...Every company tried to copy it...Even Old Spice had a cheap copy.
If you want any ideas about high dollar colognes...I recommend #1 Guerlain Habit Rouge...It was released in 1960 and is worth every penny....
And of course in the same vein...Tom Ford's Noir...that is Tom Fords take on Habit Rogue..He even says that is his version of the classic...Very much like HR but a little less powdery...but I like powdery...I mean....Clubmans Original is very powdery...I think powdery is hip!
And Ohhh Yeahhh....Clubman's Special Reserve...I did a back to back test of Special Reserve which cost $6.00s with Creeds Royal English Leather which cost $500 ...and the Clubman Special Reserve was definitely a very similar Leather scent..BUT...the Clubmans was flat BETTER! IT smelled like you just put your face in a leather baseball mit, and made the Creed smell cheap and fake...lol!

I used the shower gel tonight that came in the case, and it makes an explosion of lather! I was happy to see that the pack came with a balm and a splash. While I'm typically not a balm user, it is nice to know I have the option.

Left it out this morning for the boss to smell. Said she liked it, but was rather strong. I think I will just use the cologne when I use the balm as the splash does smell more "intense" just wait til she smells "the veg" 😂

Otherwise she might. Excommunicate and throw out the cat (if you have one) or buy you some "Depends" for Christmas..LMAO!!!

You don't want to spray your spritz your shirt collar...It will stay til you wash the shirt. And after first day it geys stale.

Took SWMBO out for her birthday tonight, side note we have been married 11 years and in all those years she has never eaten a 12 ounce sirloin, well tonight she ate that, a baked potato loaded and a salad,then finished it off with a Dr. Pepper chocolate cake. Back to the story, I used the colonge tonight, and actually had 2 women stop me and ask what the scent was. Granted, they were in Fuzzys age group, but still the compliment was nice. I'm growing to like this scent, and for the price it is a value. I will for sure replace this one with a full size bottle when it runs out.

Unpopular opinion: few things say "I drive a heavily tuned Golf" as loudly as Davidoff Cool Water.
And yes, I wear Vodka on the Rocks by Kilian. So there. Ha!
