What does Water Lily smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though with few votes, so those ratings are tentative. Voters place it mostly in daytime, leisure and office wear, and far less in the evening or on a night out. It reads as a light, easygoing feminine scent.

The opening of bergamot, pomegranate and pink grapefruit is bright and fresh. In the heart, lily of the valley, pink water lily and water jasmine give an aquatic floral feel. Musk, cedarwood and sandalwood in the base soften it and leave a creamy, lightly sweet trail.
