Josh Holloway was present in Munich on Monday, May 21st and in London on Tuesday, May 22nd to give exclusive interviews.
The agreement marks the first time this southern charmer, the well-known "Sawyer" from LOST, crosses over into the fragrance market. Davidoff Cool Water, a major emblematic fragrance, has long symbolized the energy, sensuality and the cool attitude that characterize Josh Holloway.
Nature and the sun empower him with energy. The sea is his universe. Holloway currently resides in Hawaii. He is known to play it low-key on occasion by sailing and fishing. He is also a born adrenaline junkie, longing for the thrill of extreme sports like paragliding and snowboarding.
"I love Cool Water because it is simple, powerful and timeless. To me, the Cool water man is not someone who is trying to be cool, he is someone who is comfortable with his masculinity" said Josh Holloway.
"Davidoff Cool Water is a legendary fragrance, a unique worldwide success since 1988. Josh Holloway has a strong, authentic, cool personality, but also an intimate relationship with the water. As an icon of masculinity and powerful character, he truly embodies the values of Davidoff Cool Water. Both share authenticity and originality, both are the first and the best and in this sense are unique," said Françoise Mariez, SVP International European Marketing Licenses, Coty Prestige.
The agreement entails Josh's being the worldwide public face of Davidoff Cool Water (except North America). In July 2007, the first TV commercial and print ad for the fragrance featuring the sexy, cool, fashionable actor will appear.
