SpicyWhat does Water Lily smell like?
Bergamot and orange blossom add a soft floral touch, while black pepper leaves a light spicy edge. Watermelon brings a cool, faintly sweet fruitiness, and vetiver and moss ground the green freshness in something earthy.
Most voters pick spring and summer. Leisure and daily wear lead, and it also suits the office. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters read it as feminine, though it is presented as unisex.
