Cool Water Night Dive, from Davidoff was released in 2014. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Fruity Notes, Mastic or Lentisque, Mint, Pistachio, and Sea Water, middle notes of Cashmeran, Pepper, Sage, and Tobacco, and base notes of Amber, Musk, Suede, and Woody Notes.
Woah! Can't wait to try this sounds bizarre!!! You gotta love any fragrance with a pistachio note. The combination of tobacco and salty notes with mint in an aquatic fragrance could be a complete disaster...doesn't sound right does it? Could be a triumph though and has to be better than the other Cool water flankers which have been abysmal. (except the unpopular Hot water which IMO is awesome!)
I don't know what it is about some of the new fragrances I've tried recently but Night Dive has the same insipid quality! I don't know why a cool water flanker now has this heavy clunky feel and a lack of originality. I honestly thought the note breakdown seemed interesting as you can see from my pre-review below. The opening is very much a complex, sea like slightly salty feel which attempts to transition into a sexy feel of tobacco in the heart. The tobacco note is not that pronounced but still quite nice, just doesn't work that well for me and it sadly becomes a bit of a creamy wash out. Night Dive is reminiscent of Versace Eros, which is also complex but totally dissatisfying. A vanilla and tonka feeling, nondescript woods and aquatic slighty fruity scent. From that description you might be able to tell that Davidoff threw too many flavours at Night Dive and as a result have ended up with something generic. Again don't get me wrong it'll probably sell well and is perfectly wearable for most and certainly not as bad as 'The Game' flanker which was just plain awful! I mentioned it has it's moments, the tobacco warmth is quite pleasant but untimately unrewarding in the end as the longevity is poor too. The best Cool Water flanker ever is Hot Water a sexy underrated scent for the evening.
