What does XX: Art Nouveau - Water Lily smell like?

It opens with aldehydes and green leaves, which give it a crisp, leafy start. In the heart, water lily leads while tuberose, iris and heliotrope fill out the floral core with a creamy softness. The base of vetiver, patchouli and Kashmiri musk settles it onto a woody, lightly spicy ground.

Voters rate both longevity and sillage as good. Leisure wear leads the occasion votes, with night out, evening, daily and business use close behind. It reads clearly feminine. Prada Purple Rain and Roja Parfums Oceania have a close profile.
