WATER LILY

Water lily in perfume suggests soft petals surrounded by cool, watery freshness. Its floral character can feel clean and lightly green, recalling the space around a bloom on a pond rather than a tightly packed bouquet. That combination of petal softness and clearer green edges can appeal when you want a floral impression with a sense of air and water.

Jo Malone describes its waterlily note in precisely this aquatic-floral direction, combining dewy softness with crisp green facets. Within its Waterlily fragrance, jasmine sambac and neroli develop the floral setting. This is one interpretation of the floating flower, not a universal formula for the note. Water lily does not by itself identify a particular species, extract or set of aroma molecules, and a fresh floral character does not determine the strength or duration of the finished perfume.
