Water Lily

Nicki Minaj

Onika opens with a bright, slightly tropical fruit cocktail — carambola's watery crunch alongside pear and mandarin, a combination that reads as playful rather than serious.

Yves Rocher

Ode à la Vie opens with water and green in conjunction: galbanum's sharp, leafy edge is softened by bamboo's clean neutrality, while water notes give the whole opening a cool, almost misted quality.

Trussardi

A quintessential early-2000s aquatic-floral built around a triumvirate of white flowers: tuberose anchors the heart with characteristic creaminess, lily lightens the accord, and freesia adds a fruity-fresh lift.

The Body Shop

British Rose keeps its promise in the most straightforward way: bergamot and tangerine open with a cheerful, citrus freshness that sets a breezy tone.

By Kilian

Calice Becker interprets Chinese ink painting in olfactory terms: water lily and grapefruit at the top, pure and cool, give way to magnolia and jasmine — white florals that register as brushstrokes rather than bouquets, precise and weightless.

Marc Jacobs

Jean Claude Delville opens with green-citrus brightness: yuzu and clementine provide tart citrus clarity, green notes suggesting fresh leaves.
