I have it: 36 I had it: 6 I want it: 97 My signature: 3
Davidoff presents a new edition of the women's fragrance Cool Water (1996), the warm and shimmering Cool Water Sensual Essence. The fragrance is described as glamorous, alluring and sensual, inspired by golden sunset reflected on ocean surface.
The fragrance evokes the flavors of salt and sea on warm skin and the atmosphere of a beach sunset. Perfumer Nathalie Lorson tried to achieve this with notes of exotic flowers and vanilla. The top accords of the composition are bergamot and red fruits that lead to the floral heart of orchid and frangipani. The base rounds the fragrance with aromas of vanilla, musk and woods.
The signature-shaped curvy bottle and box emphasize glamour and sun-inspired theme of this perfume with golden shades. The campaign model is Bianca Balti in the role of a modern mermaid.
The fragrance is available as 30, 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum, body lotion and shower gel. Cool Water Sensual Essence was launched in 2012.

This is absolutely gorgeous. Warm and balmy. I will be buying 100ml of this with body lotion and shower gel! This is definitely my favourite now! Thank you for this beautiful non expensive scent Davidoff.
I love frangipani & vanilla so no doubt I love this perfume. It almost smells unisex to me; reminds me a little of a Jean Paul Gaultier unisex scent (i think its discontinued now), think it was called JPG II. Love this, long lasting and very warm and sensual - just my type of scent.
I had it and I didnt wear it much, I found it pleasant yet non descriptive, not sure in which category it should go!? it is a summery scent, for me it was better than Cool water which smelled like aftershave ,it is fresh , warm also, but Cool Essence didnt capture me much, not sure what it was trying to be, not impressed
Lorson creations just fail to intrigue me for long, her scents are quite vague
I applied this scent again later in the evening in a larger amount and this time it smelled quite addictive because the licorice kept hanging around. I think I need to try some sprays on my clothes, my boyfriend actually said he liked this smell without me asking (:
Cute daytime parfume, not special. I did smell licorice in the topnotes but dried down to a vague vanilla scent very fast. I would have appreciated it more if the licorice stayed for a while. Maybe I need a little more on my skin but I prefer a perfume to really interest me when we first meet.
The aroma of a freshly opened packet of Licorice Allsorts bursts out of the golden bottle onto my skin. The top certainly smells delicious, but nothing like the notes listed would suggest.
In fact the strong rooty aroma of sweetened black licorice lasts well into the dry-down of honeyed conceptual flowers and woods. Syrupy stewed summer berries resonate from the heart.
The base is a sugared vanilla musk smelling good enough to eat, like fondant, bringing me back to my initial impression of Licorice Allsorts.
I like it! I like it a lot. It could even be love.
A beautiful composition! The first impression is bubbly,
smooth, yet velvety with hints of soft white flowers and
a sweet hint fruit, upon viewing cranberry as the note,
I must say wow!
This scent lasted the whole day on my skin, in hot and
humid weather (40 C and up!) Sensual Essence reminds me
of some of Thierry Mugler's perfumes, but this one is
softer and more celebratory.
Yum!
10/10
Nathalie Lorson amazed us again! I have to disagree with those who find this fragrance sweet. It is not really sweet, but fruity powdery, maybe even sour, and vanilla here is not excessive. I don't know why, but soapy powderness of Sensual Essence immediately reminded me of Cacharel Noa, of course, in the modern interpretation. The scent is sophisticated enough, and in the dry down I get a masculine vibe. Definetly, the fragrance deserves to have its own name than to be a flanker of Cool Water.
Is this frangipani? It´s very nice and comforting, even sensual as the title suggests. It goes on strong and then mellows very quickly to a sweet vanilla scent. I smell something else too, but I´m not sure what it is, But it´s definitely something that makes me feel good, I like it. I wouldn´t call this a summer scent though. It´s a bit too sweet and strong. However I could sleep with this on. It makes me feel safe. I´ll definitely be wearing it in the cooler months. I find it a bit sickly sweet and overpowering in fact when the weather is really hot. Despite that, a definite thumbs up from me.
Ah, so this is frangipani I smell? The almost sickening sweet prevailing vanilla scent?
I obviously sprayed to much, expecting a Cool Water!
Now after three hours, I can understand why people might like it, but to me it's just much to sweet. No refreshing notes what so ever.
Too bad, the longevity is great on me. Wished for the opposite but, good news for those who do love it.
For me never again.
Very nice, summery fragrance which is not citrusy fresh but warm, light vanilla-frangipani sweet. It isn't groundbreaking for sure, but it is well composed, good quality fragrance. Suitable for both: daytime and night. It's not overwhelming or cloying. Nice, delicate, elegant. I like it alot.
Don't understand why it came out as a Cool Water family member, should have it's own bottle and own name, IMO
I really do not understand something as the manufacturer still line with its name perfumes. Although I understand that they already get from a famous name, but the likes of L'eau Jasmin Noir by Bvlgari exquis has nothing to do with the name Jasmin Noir, and least of all because it is a light, transparent and tea scent that would deserve a separate name. This is exactly what I thought when I looked at the gold pack Davidoff Cool Water Sensual Essence and after the trial has gripped me confidence that Cool Water in the title really has nothing to do. This fragrance is much more a type is very hot (perhaps it could be a Hot Water :)) and also rather sweet - now I smell like a lady evoked by P. Rabanne Million or C. Herrera 212 VIP and I would say that the composition of spins similar folders around - a bit of fruit, white flowers, bergamot, vanilla and woody notes, licorice shown in the composition I was able to register. I think the smell is such an elegant, pleasant, not offend, nenadchne, does not deviate, but unfortunately we find similar clouds, this is a bit more diluted than the aforementioned, as a gift, I would be afraid to buy.
Smells sweet and a bit citrussy/ orangey. Nothing special. Too bad.
Very strong perfume that stayes very long!! i do love it, but maybe Beckham intimately yours maybe a bit more natural interpretation of ths perfume. it stayes somewhere between that one and a summer edition of Alien.
hmmm....i do like this perfume but its not very strong at all..i can hardly smell anything but a vague vanilla smell.was expecting alot more after waiting all these years for a new cool water fragrance !
Im so sad. I dont smell anything but a vaguely licorice with a tiny vanilla. No fruits no frangipanne.
Is it me or my skin, i had such high hopes for this one. But i have to return it because i dont smell it.
I have to put my chin on my chest to even get a tiny bit of vanilla/licorice. I hope for others that they have the right chemistry.
Wow! I love frangipani . It's very sensual and of course exotic. Smell very South East Asia. I need to know how scented of this perfume. Can't wait!
