Comment: "Thank you! I decided to stay with "waterfall" since the idea is that the woman cools off the hot guy (like a waterfall flowing over fire) - the symbol the manufacturer wants to convey being "fire under ice". "

refreshing effect
... meets a chick (or whatever) that has a refreshing effect...

In the suffocating heat, a man meets a girl like a refreshing breeze
