Perfumes with Water Lily

Water lily smells light, watery, green and clean with a gentle sweetness, giving a fragrance a cool, calm and transparent floral freshness.

Although a small amount of absolute can be produced from Nymphaea flowers, the note in most perfumes is a fantasy accord built from synthetic aquatic and floral molecules. It is very close to lotus, with damp leaves, a hint of melon and a soft powdery floralcy. Water lily is used almost entirely in the heart. It pairs with lotus, peony, freesia, marine notes, green tea, citrus and white musks.

Water Lily appears in 1,083 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue and is used mostly as a heart note.
