This scent is one that I wear a lot, it's so clean smelling! It's not girly at all- I know some men who use the hand sanitizer and hand soaps. I have the full set, and it makes me feel amazing. I get a lot of compliments while wearing this. I recommend this to everyone!

This is such a perfect stay-cool-in-the-summer kinda scent. I'm not sure I could say that this is unisex since it's faintly sweet. Actually, it COULD smell like a guy who's been cozying it up with his girlfriend all day long ;)

Anyway, I actually dislike unisex smells but if people consider this as one then this is the only one I've liked so far.

This is a nice clean scent. It lasts a few hours and does not morp into something funky in the summer heat.

This scent works so well in warm, humid weather. Dancing Waters is sharp, fresh and soapy with a hint of something that reminds me of the scent of squeezed orange peels. It's just so refreshing and really dries down into a wonderful soapy scent. I loved this generation of BBW scents... more complex than one note fruit replicas, but not so complex that the olfactory system is confused as to what it's smelling. This can be layered or worn alone.

I bought this looking for a clean scent from B&BW that would be good for casual wear. I loved B&BW Deep Aqua, but it was LE and I can't find it anywhere. So, I heard Rain Kissed Leaves was close, but that's also been DC'd. Someone here on MUA suggested that this might be the next closest thing.

At first I was undecided about it. It is clean, and has sort of an "earthy" or "gassy" scent to it. I also smell a bit of citrus, and something reminiscent of Cucmber Melon, however, not at all sweet. I see what people are saying about it being unisex, it totally is. But will it be a replacement for deep aqua? Not even close.

Wort of all, there is NO staying power what so ever. I know that B&BW aren't going to last long. I know that it is inherent in body sprays that they will not be as strong or last as long as EDTs, but for me that's good, I don't want people to smell me 8 feet away - but this? It's gone in about 5 minuets. It's just pointless.

Since I didn't like the scent on, I tried it as a room spray and linen spray. I tried spraying it on my sheets to freshen them up, because I do like the relaxing/tranquil quality of it, but, it was gone right away.

I am sad to say, this might be the first ever fragrance I return to B&BW. I am such a B&BW junkie, and other then orange sapphire, it is the only scent I just don't care for. (I have literally 2 boxes of B&BW stuff that I rotate - I am a serous junkie)

I think there are other "clean" fragrances at around the same price point, that are much better quality. Maybe I will go back to "My Ocean" which is a great, inexpensive clean smelling perfume.

I does not smell like cool waters to me, either.

Also, rumor has it it is being discontinued, along with a lot of other "clean" scents. I already e-mailed them about how disappointed I am.

I really like the way this stuff smells. Yes, it does have a bit of a sporty/masculine feel, but I've always loved those types of scents. It's very light and not overpowering at all, so people won't gag when you walk by them. I'll most likely repurchase.

i admit -- most of b&bw's stuff just doesn't cut it for me. i find the majority of their products far too sweet (sweet pea, anyone? warm vanilla sugar?) and "sugar-y". however, i was pleasantly surprised by dancing waters.

the first time i sprayed it on in the store, i instantly fell in love with it. on me, it's a clean, crisp, fresh scent with just a hint of musk. :) i LOVE how it's not overtly feminine (the floral notes aren't overpowering, as they often are with b&bw scents), and how it's a very subtle scent! the lasting power is okay (i bought the eau de toilette), but hey, it's b&bw! what do you expect?

i would buy it again, although definitely not at the full price -- i don't think it's worth $26+. ;) i picked my current bottle up from the latest sale (and for ~$7, i might add! man, what a steal, what a steal.).

I bought this because I thought it smelled fresh and clean. However, after wearing it awhile, it smells sort of masculine on me. I could definitely see it being a unisex spray because it has a definite sporty smell to it. It's ok for everyday to smell fresh, but I would not wear it out to dinner with my man. I sometimes wear it to work because we are not supposed to wear perfume and this does not bother any of my co-workers-some of which are very sensitive to smells. Ok fragrance, but nothing special and I would not repurchase.

I bought the body splash and I comletely disagree with a lot of the other reviews when they say it's somewhat masculine. I think this scent is very fresh, light, and clean. Some people may consider it a little sporty, but personally I think it is very feminine. The lasting power isn't great, but it's a pretty scent for the daytime. I'm hoping some of the lotions will have a better lasting power, or perhaps the EDP.

There's nothing particularly wrong with this fragrance. I gave it a 1 because you can find better-quality fragrances, with the same notes, for about the same price. It's an unabashed dupe of L'Eau D'Issey, with the addition of a big kick of citrus in the top notes. Considering how much the original costs, I guess Dancing Waters is an okay value. However, there are a ton of D'Issey dupes out there, and B&BW's version isn't so great. If you don't want to spring for D'Issey, I suggest you hold out for a better dupe. It should be really, really easy to find one. Just look for any inexpensive floral with the word "water," "ocean," or "marine" in the name. And if you're really stumped, I'm sure the ladies on the fragrance board here could help you out. Also, if you want to get the original without spending too much, Sephora carries a roll-on bottle of L'Eau D'Issey for $22. Of course, that's still way more expensive than the B&BW travel-size spray, which is usually priced at $5, and is currently on sale for $3.

B&BW was having a huge sale and I got this for $4. I really like it. It smells fresh and summery. Would I wear this on a date? No. But it's fine for everyday, especially in the summer. Staying power is absolutely terrible but since it's a body splash that is to be expected. Will buy again if it isn't discontinued.

Dancing Waters presents a female version of the male fragrance, "Cool Water" by Davidoff. It's a crisp, clean, and non-overpowering scent by Bath and Body Works. I like it; but, since I'm more of a nature and oriental scent lover, I'll probably not buy it as much. But, it's worth a purchase. I give it 4 lippies.

Bleh. I thought I liked this when I first tried it, but I put the EDT and lotion on for work today and was washing it off by 10:00. It doesn't smell like anything to me - just weird and maybe a bit like a swimming pool locker room. This is going back tomorrow.

I got this as a gift and thought I'd try it...I walked into the room and my youngest daughter (who ALWAYS notices any perfume change)...says "mom, why do you smell like an old swimsuit?". Dang. Nuff said.

This is what I always hoped the perfume Davidoff Cool Water would smell like: fresh, clean, and crisp, like rain or dew. A spray or two gives provides plenty of subtle scent, the only way it's overpowering is if you spray it a million times. Great scent- will probably not repurchase since I bought a big bottle, but I would if it ever ran out.

This product smells good, but it's not a "must have" so that's why I am giving it a four. It is a very clean, and yes, almost a masculine scent. It is light and not offensive as another reviewer mentioned. My boyfriend does not like most scents or perfumes because he thinks they're too strong, but he likes this one on me so I use it when we are together. I have the body splash, and I also have the candle which i LOVE. The candle itself is a five, and i strongly recommend it. It smells similar to the body splash, but is much stronger and my small votive candle fills my whole room with its wonderful scent. I don't know if I will repurchase the body splash when I run out, but I would like to repurchase the candle. Love it!
