GreenWhat does Waterlily Sun smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it stays noticeable through the day without dominating. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is recommended for daily wear, leisure and the office. Voters mostly find it feminine, with some calling it modern.
The top opens with green notes and bergamot for a bright start. In the heart, jasmine sambac and water lily bring a floral, aquatic feel, and musk softens the base. Jo Malone Waterlily and Akro Breathe have a close profile.
