Azul Animale for men

So far I didn't have much luck when looking for a twist on the same type of fragrance (in this case Cool Water). Following this thinking I've tried and bought blindly some scents which many call a slightly variation on the subject. What happens is that I found myself concluding, most of the time, that the original is better. So here I share basically the same opinion by BRH, even not knowing the "Aqua Net hairspray" - but I get the cheap feeling you said. And is definitely sweeter.

Azul is available for good prices and smells A LOT like Cool Water, perhaps a little heavier on neroli/coriander to give it a "musty" grape soda kinda feel.

I'm not really a fan of Cool Water, so I'll pass on this one, but you may very well like it.

I just recently ordered this one as a blind buy (due to it's comparisons to Cool Water, which I love). Boy, was I dissapointed. I don't think this smells like Cool Water at all. (unless I got a fake). Azul smells more like Aqua Net hairspray to me. I don't get any of the fruit or sweetness at all. To me, it's much stronger than Cool Water and has a rubbing alcohol/aerosol cheap smell. I know, tastes are subjective, so maybe one day I'll learn my lesson about blind buys:). Anyway, I'll definitely be getting rid of this one.

It's a fresher, fruitier Cool Water. A nice, slick bottle as well. Thankfully, not too many people sport this inexpensive well-blended scent, so I would recommend this to anyone who loves fresh fragrances.

Azul reminds me very much of Cool Water, but there is more of a fruity twist to Azul. The box photography is a good clue to the cool freshness contained within the bottle. The projection and longevity is pretty exceptional. You can snag a 3.4 oz bottle online for 20 to 30 bucks depending where you look - which is quite a deal for the quality of the scent. I guess Azul is ideal for warmer weather but I think it fairs nicely in colder weather as well. Azul is one of my favorite fragrances.

There's "cool fresh" and there's "citrus fresh." Surely this is "cool fresh." This compares to Bijan Style. The ice blue look of Bijan's bottle is the feel of the fragrance. The background image on the box of Azul or (blue) is the perfect scene for this fragrance. The perfect scene you can spray on to your body... water, sky and all. It's a surreal sweet breeze you appreciate when it hits you. I love this. Animale is so underrated.
