What it smells like

Waterlily exudes a cool, clear floral burst that feels almost like misted pond water. Its aroma is transparent, lightly powdery, with a subtle watery depth that lingers behind a faint waxy petal note. It is softer than lotus and less sweet than magnolia, offering a crisp, aquatic elegance that brightens a composition without overpowering. Perfumers use it to give modern floral blends a fresh, lake‑like lift and to anchor airy, clean accords.

waterlily is listed in 12 perfumes in this directory. It is most often used as a heart note (83% of its appearances). It is most often paired with jasmine, musk, moss and sandalwood.
