About water lily
Water Lily, a quintessentially aquatic floral note, is celebrated for its ethereal, clean, and slightly sweet scent that evokes the serene beauty of still water gardens. Unlike its more opulent floral counterparts, Water Lily provides a delicate and refined freshness, making it a favorite among perfumers seeking to create fragrances with a tranquil and soothing character. Its olfactory profile is often described as a harmonious blend of light floral tones with subtle green and aquatic nuances, which can add a dimension of purity and freshness to a fragrance composition. In perfumery, Water Lily is used not just for its delightful scent but also for its ability to impart a sense of calm and freshness, bridging floral and aquatic accords to create fragrances that are both invigorating and soothing.

Perfumer's Tips
Water Lily is best used in aquatic, floral, or fresh fragrance compositions to introduce a clean, serene, and slightly sweet aquatic note. It pairs beautifully with green, citrus, and other aquatic notes to enhance freshness. Due to its delicate nature, it should be balanced carefully with stronger notes to maintain its presence without being overpowered.
