by Jo Malone London
Waterlily Cologne by Jo Malone London delivers a light, fresh, and aquatic floral scent with prominent water lily and jasmine notes, elevated by a grassy neroli top note. The dry down features a soft white musk base, creating a muted, effervescent effect reminiscent of dewy gardens, artesian springs, or calm lakes. While some appreciate its refined spring-like elegance and refreshing green-water essence, others find the aquatic and green facets too sharp, sour, or overwhelming on their skin. The fragrance is widely regarded as long-lasting on the skin, though the sillage is intimate, and longevity is moderate to weak overall—especially when applied to clothing, where it may be less pronounced. It is most highlighted as ideal for warm weather and daytime wear, with a majority favoring its presence in spring and summer.
