What does Nymphaea smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so the scent stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine, though a fair number call it modern. Matthew Williamson Lotus and Rochas Fleur d'Eau have a close profile.

The notes read as one whole: lotus sets a floral, aquatic base, citrus notes add a green freshness, and blackcurrant brings a fruity, lightly sweet touch.
