The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Cool Water Night Dive by Davidoff is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of an enigmatic night dive. The composition opens with sea notes and fruits, leading to a heart of mint and pistachio before settling into a base of cashmeran, suede, and musk. This scent embodies the contrast between the cool marine top notes and the warm woody undertones, creating a complex interplay that evolves throughout the day.
Apply a moderate amount directly to pulse points — wrists and neck. The marine top notes are bright but fleeting, so the woody base will be more noticeable as the day progresses. Ideal for evening wear when you want a scent that evolves throughout the night.
