The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018, Cool Water Woman Wave by Davidoff is an aquatic floral fragrance designed to blend the freshness of sea breezes with the warmth of tropical flowers and fruits. Perfumers Francis Kurkdjian and Maïa Lernout crafted this scent around frangipani, pear, lime, and sea notes, creating a composition that feels both crisp and inviting. The heart of jasmine sambac and floral notes adds depth before woody and amber bases ground the fragrance with earthy warmth.

How to wear it

Apply Cool Water Woman Wave in light sprays — the marine top notes are bright but fleeting. Allow it to settle for about an hour before reapplying if you want more longevity from the woody base notes.
