His Dua Water captures the crisp, aquatic freshness and minty character of Cool Water quite effectively, with a strong emphasis on the clean synthetic notes that define the original. The heart notes are well-balanced and recognizable, though the clone tends to have slightly less complexity in the floral department. The base is simplified compared to the original's tobacco and oakmoss richness, resulting in a fresher but less sophisticated dry-down.
Dua's version emphasizes brightness and aquatic freshness slightly more, while sacrificing some of the original's woody depth and tobacco undertones. Longevity and sillage are generally comparable, though the clone may project slightly less in the base stages.
