Product Information

Taxi by Cofinluxe's drydown, at the very end, smells similar to Cool Wave but instead of a chypre, it's creamier in a fougere way. In the late '80s Gillette's market studies indicated that American men were putting more time and effort into grooming than Gillette previously realized, but most fellows weren't sure where to turn for a good cologne: it seemed "too personal" to ask friends about and there was not yet an internet full of opinionated blowhards such as myself. When I was in high school in the 2000s, I didn't even really think about shaving, but this was one of the primary scents that I used for antiperspirant.

GLASS bottle of something that is easily higher quality and longer lasting, while still -just- being an aftershave! com/mens/shower/mens-shower-gels-body-wash/gillette-cool-wave-shower-gel-250ml/p/235308" on this server. Unsurprisingly, my face does feel bare and clean after application, but this product is not doing your skin any favors.Cool Wave is a reminder that traditional after shave lotions can be executed in a contemporary manner, and although most of the others in this series have died away, Cool Wave remains relevant as ever. Cool Wave came on the heels of aquatics, ozonics, and "fresh" fougères, so it does give off a bit of a "focus group" kind of a smell where you can tell it was meant to appeal for folks that would probably use one of those, but it has a richer and drier backbone to accompany it's freshness that actually makes it a stand-out from other conventional 1990's company, which is an amazing feet for a commercial after shave.

Gillette had struck metaphorical gold with their new lines, finding wild success in both the American and European markets. It smells a bit like Drakkar Noir, but fresher and it obviously doesn't perform as well, being that Drakkar is an EDT. They're not a one to one match, but that's the closest thing that I can really compare it that is relevant to today's fragrance users. With close proximity to the nose, the fresh top notes are a little more dominant, and by the time the fragrance would dry down to its warm, masculine base I can barely smell it any more. First off, Gillette Cool Wave opens with this fresh scent that conjures up images of cool, cold, steel.This clear gel gives you 3 times triple freshness to keep you feeling dry and comfortable throughout the day. They spent several years (and millions of dollars) in testing, focus groups, and market analysis, culminating in the 1993 release of the Cool Wave (a "foresty chypre") and Wild Rain (a dewy, herbal, aquatic fougère). Clearpay lends you a fixed amount of credit so you can pay for your purchase over 4 instalments, due every 2 weeks. You'll be left going "I feel like I should put some cologne on" when really no, no you shouldn't because you're already wearing some. If hit by a bit of moisture as the day progresses, the dihydromyrcenol will occasionally re-assert itself with another unexpected burst of freshness.

It's residual musk note comes out in the end and allows this to cling on skin far longer than otherwise. Cool Wave opens with a refreshing synthetic blast of metallic citrus supported by a hefty dose of dihydromyrcenol. Gillette may be more known for their razors and the catchy "The Best a Man Can Get" slogan, but if one ever takes a look at their deodorants, shave creams, and body washes, one will find this popular scent as a selection among them. There's an aquatic accord of some sort that just barely hides below the citrus, giving it a bit of a blue tint like Invictus or Cool Water. Much like Clubman, Cool Wave has absolutely nothing in it to hydrate, moisturize, or smooth one's skin.The product is honestly meant to be a finishing touch to a suite of Cool Wave-scented grooming accessories, so if true sillage and longevity is what you want, you'll have to use all the products in concert. It clearly projects within arm's length for several hours and sometimes you can still catch whiffs of it in passing 6-8 hours after application. This is a wonderful eau de cologne-strength fragrance that has a very "classic" late 80s/very early 90s vibe to it. Depending on the day and my mood, it easily scores a 7/10 or 8/10 and is the far better of the two options if you're looking for a good aftershave instead of a mislabeled cologne. Now, I'd like to point out that Gillette also offers a Sensitive Skin Aftershave Gel made with the same fragrance formula.
