Is the gift set or the single bottle the better deal?

The set. It costs $18.53 at FragranceX.com as of November 4, 2026, against $21.96 for the 2.5 oz bottle. You get the spray plus two extra pieces for less.

Do both smell the same?

Yes. Both are Davidoff Cool Water, the 1988 aquatic fougère by Pierre Bourdon, with mint, lavender and rosemary on top and musk and amber at the base.

Which lasts longer on skin?

Neither is known for long wear. Reviewers of both say the EDT fades within a few hours and needs reapplying. The larger 2.5 oz bottle simply gives you more to reapply.

Is the gift set good for a present?

Yes. It comes boxed with three pieces, which makes it the easier gift. The single bottle is plainer packaging.

Which is better for daily wear?

Both work for daily wear and warm weather. The 2.5 oz bottle is the more practical pick if you spray every day, since it holds more cologne.

Is the extra cost of the 2.5 oz bottle worth it?

Only if you want the bigger spray and do not care about extras. Per ounce the set is cheaper, but the bottle gives you 2.5 oz of the cologne itself.
