Waterfall

Conclusion

Waterfall is a solid option for those who appreciate the Cool Water vibe but aren't seeking a perfect replica. The added warmth and tobacco make it wearable year-round, perhaps leaning slightly more towards cooler weather. If you find Cool Water too sharp or fleeting, Waterfall offers a smoother, longer-lasting alternative, albeit with some synthetic edges. If you are on a budget, then this will be great. If you want something higher quality, save for the OG.

First Impressions & Dry Down

Waterfall opens with an aquatic blast – think Cool Water, but viewed through a slightly blurry lens. The familiar sea water, lavender, and mint are present, but a touch sharper, a tad more synthetic than the original. It's about 87% there, though. The heart introduces a sandalwood note that's creamier, less astringent than Cool Water's, softening the edges somewhat. Neroli and geranium add a pleasant, subtle floral lift. The drydown departs more significantly. Where Cool Water maintains its briskness, Waterfall opts for a warmer, muskier base with a definite tobacco leaf presence. The oakmoss provides some earthiness, but it's overshadowed.

Projection Power

Longevity is surprisingly decent . Expect 5-6 hours on skin, projecting moderately for the first hour before settling closer. On clothing, it clings a bit longer, maybe 8 hours. It's not a powerhouse, but a few extra sprays will do the trick.
