cool breeze

Light, pleasant draft

A cool breeze is a gentle movement of air that feels pleasantly cold against the skin.

The phrase evokes comfort and relief, especially on a warm day: A cool breeze came off the water.

Figuratively, someone described as a cool breeze is easygoing and refreshing to be around.
