When it comes to Cool Water your doing pretty good if you get the products . If you get the shaving lotion and body wash it's more pronounced . Plus most of the time the products retain the original formula . Gift sets are real grabs sometimes . A great comparative video Kelan . I'll tell you whats obvious night and day reformulation , Boss # 1 !

[@Bigwave2003]

Green Irish Tweed (1985) and Cool Water (1988) were both created by perfumer Pierre Bourdon (contrary to Creed marketing claims). It's interesting to note that Bourdon considered Cool Water an improvement on the accord of metallic amber, gray citrus, and green violet leaf. But because Cool Water (EDT) is manufactured with cheaper ingredients almost everyone regards Green Irish Tweed (EDP) as the superior fragrance.

[@richuncle9689]

Exactly. And in my opinion CW is the better of the both and Pierre the greatest perfumers of all time. I have a vintage Lancaster bottle of CW and brand new one. They are identical

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@Bigwave2003 that is interesting but it just doesn’t have the natural freshness that GIT has so that’s sort of shocking to hear. I definitely like git better personally

[@cherrysunburst828]

La Rive has a Cool Water clone called Distant Wave and apparently it's quite close to the vintage version. I've never smelled the vintage so I can't say for sure, but it runs for around 7€ here in Europe, for fans of the vintage that's definitely one to try

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@cherrysunburst828 La Rive does a good job, I liked athletic man a lot it is very close to adidas active bodies

[@JoyAmin666]

do you get any tobacco from the vintage?

[@RAIDERSJUSTWINBAYB]

Great video! spot on comparison 👍 I remember cool water in the mid 90’s projecting really good on clothes. Today’s formulation not so much 😂

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@RAIDERSJUSTWINBAYB yeah it was night and day in general between the two

[@aromafromheaven]

Great series

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@aromafromheaven thank you for watching !

[@lesliescott7838]

Your so right about the current formulation of coolwaters performance . I use it's body spray to layer it . But even with that i got barely 3 hours . Kelan, will you ever do vintage Dior Fahrenheit . Compared to the current formula?

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@lesliescott7838 i don’t own Fahrenheit and I have yet to come around on it unfortunately, maybe one day lol

[@danielschaeffer1294]

Oldster here, just putting in my two cents worth. CW is very historically significant for many reasons, but mostly because it was the dividing line between Old School and New. OS consisted of citrus chypres, dark leathery scents, and then scent-bomb fougeres. They were for men who were raised on the Connery Bonds and wanted something to go with a suit. CW, well … the first time I smelled it I raised one eyebrow, Connery-style, walked, and never looked back.

[@blainetrahan8883]

I like Coolwater, it’s not a love. Love the content!!

[@matthewseawell1667]

I don’t know why, but I like the Cool Water deodorant much better than the EDT. I haven’t tried any of the other formulations, though. I do think combining GIT with the deodorant works great.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@matthewseawell1667 like the deodorant stick ? Deodorant Aerosol Spray ? Or the mild deodorant spray that is in the fragrance bottle

[@matthewseawell1667]

@ The stick.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@matthewseawell1667 gotcha, yeah I agree it’s a good deo stick scent

[@docsamson198]

Great job. This one was extremely popular when it was first released in the late 1980’s. (Showing my age!) CW also helped launched the new wave of blue/green fragrances like Aspen and Eternity. Agree the newest version of CW is so blah compared to past versions.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@docsamson198 Aspen ! I forgot about that one lol I reviewed it years ago and gave the bottle to my nephew and he said it was his gym scent until he finished the bottle

[@docsamson198]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey I remember when Aspen first came out, pre-Coty days. It had pretty good strength. Today, spraying Aspen couldn’t kill a gnat.

[@justaddlight]

That green, almost foggy density in the OG was just masterful blending by Bourdon. Really made dihydromyrcenol go mainstream. Quite possible he used violet leaf absolute too if he wanted to stay true to the Green Irish Tweed formula. Not so much a fan of the current CW myself.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@justaddlight I knew I smelled some violet leaf in there and the vintage is much closer to GIT

[@brunomatos3724]

I have an 125ml bottle of cool water from 1998, i like to use it sometimes during the spring and summer, but not a favorite of mine, i much prefer my eau de sport by paco rabanne, drakkar noir and kouros eau de sport.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@brunomatos3724 all great classics and all better than cool water lol

[@manbirsingh9586]

Like Cool water, but the new version is 😝, wish i had a vintage one 🔥, many thanks Kelan 👍🏻👍🏻

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@manbirsingh9586 yeah it smelled really bad after 10-15 mins of having it on, the vintage definitely the way to go with this one

[@_Solaris]

I've only smelled the new version. When I first tried it, I thought it was pretty good for hot weather. Some time later, I put it on one morning and almost gagged. All I got was laundry detergent. ...tried it a couple more times and threw it away.

[@dantheman2907]

I absolutely get the laundry detergent connection. It's either that or fabric softener but I'm sure I've smelled it doing laundry or in the laundry aisle at the supermarket.

[@Scurge237]

love cool water. i wanna smell a vintage, but the modern is good

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@Scurge237 I’ve never been the biggest cool water fan to being with so I am sorta biased lol

[@Scurge237]

@ScentsOfSouthJersey i definitely understand what you mean by a generic kinda cologne for sure. I see it like a polo blue almost. Not shitting on it but you know every dude on earth has had a bottle of it everyone has smelled it. It's not terribly unique or very powerful. But still smells good and is almost like a throw away. You can spray for almost any occasion

[@manlyscents]

I like the vintage, and respect its important at the time. Hard to judge it fairly now that it spawned ten thousand blue freshies

[@John_D67]

Went through a couple bottles back in the day, good stuff and a serious compliment beast. Haven’t tried the new form, but do have a bottle of Wave, use it for the gym, not bad. 👍🏻

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@John_D67 cool water now is a decent gym scent lol the vintage was definitely the way to go

[@dipdip8]

I have pretty much the same thoughts. I prefer the vintage version for that additional greenness + better longevity.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@dipdip8 that’s exactly it !

[@johnreasinger791]

Have a mid90s CW love it the new one did feel streamlined when I smelled it in passing few years back 😀 some time you should do a CW flankers video I have a bunch they're fair to great 👍 smell swell & be well

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@johnreasinger791 the flankers have exploded in the past few years there are so many

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I like this fragrance and I give it a 8.5 out of 10 in my opinion and have a blessed day

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@michaelbullock8011 thank you Michael !

[@michaelbullock8011]

You welcome keep up the good work GOD BLESS 🙏

[@An-lj4up]

Do you think the old/vintage Floris ( Elite & No.89 & 1962 ) is highly better than the current version? If I can't find the vintage one, the new batch one can be worth a try? I am concerned about the performance, I hope the new batch one is great.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@An-lj4up I have the newest batch and the second most recent and they both are beast mode on me, and I’m talking about Elite. I had 89 and though it smells nice it sorta reminded me of an old lady smell unfortunately

[@An-lj4up]

@@ScentsOfSouthJersey Does No.89 remind you of an old lady's scent because it smells feminine, or is it still masculine but just evokes that association?

[@davidGPS95]

Windex 😂 lol , you should definitely buy Adventure before they change it and make it synthetic.

[@bojax3434]

This was great back in the day. I agree it does not last like it did. Like Drakkar, unfortunately.

[@thomastvivlaren4951]

Is Cool Water Intense better smelling?

[@ejude83]

I’ve heard that they are not the same at all. There is a coconut not in the intense, apparently. I was bummed to hear that because I’d love a deeper version of the CW EDT. Maybe the Parfum version is that - but I haven’t been able to buy one yet to find out, and I haven’t seen any of the other YT frag guys review it either.

[@sekkusupisutoruzu]

@@ejude83It's not at all. Every flanker of Coolwater is 100% different.

[@surfgreen111]

Never tried vintage but the one I have (maybe 4 years old) has beast performance. Smell always reminded me of dryer sheets. Hate the bottle… it looks like a shampoo bottle.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@surfgreen111 dryer sheets is a great way to put it and the bottle is the most basic thing ever loll

[@rubenh7106]

Can you please do a review for Nitro Red. I hear a lot of hype about it.

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@rubenh7106 not sure I even know what fragrance that is lol

[@demonstructie]

I can only comment on the current formulation (I don't do vintage - I have plenty of fragrances from the 70s, 80s and 90s but all current formulations, no actual old liquids. I'm already too stingy to use up my fragrances even ones that I can just run out and buy a new bottle, I'm not about to dabble in super expensive and hard to replace consumables). Anyway I've always hated Cool Water. It's just not good. Smells cheap, generic, immature and just not pleasant at all. Struggle to think of a purpose for it too, like a scenario where this would be a suitable fragrance to wear. Nope, I much prefer Zino (which I know is a channel favorite 😂)

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@demonstructie zino v cool water lol idk id be stuck between a rock and hard place 😂😂

[@mosmic81]

Many people find it generic. It is because it has been copied so many times by other fragrances and cleaning products that we all have smelled it a million times. Just yesterday I went to a bar and the toilet smelled of Cool Water 😂

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@mosmic81 cool water air freshener ? Lol

[@BillBrutal]

Great video. I like Cool Water, but I’m not really a fan, even though there’s nothing about it I dislike. It’s like a safe boyfriend who gets dumped because they’re too boring and predictable 🙈

[@ScentsOfSouthJersey]

@@BillBrutal 🤣🤣 that’s one way to put it

I like cool water had a 40 ml used it. Sampled green irish tweed and i like it more then cool water neither one lasts so yeah im over it 😂😂😂

@@Bettypeter-gm8ny it’s a 3rd cousin twice removed lol

bro cool water and green irish tweed were made by the same perfumer. green irish tweed was made first. that's what the lore is. how can one be a copy of the other when it's the same perfumer that made them both? it's just two scents made by the same guy, some similarities and differences no need to give a smug sneer of your nose about it
