The story behind the bottle.
Waterlily Cologne by Jo Malone London was launched in 2020 as a fresh and floral aquatic scent for both women and men. The fragrance opens with the bright, zesty notes of neroli, which gives way to the delicate and ethereal aroma of water lilies and jasmine sambac at its heart. This composition creates an impression of floating on a serene pond under the morning sun, where the air is crisp and the flowers are just beginning to bloom. The base note of white musk adds a subtle warmth that grounds the scent without overpowering its aquatic freshness.
Apply Waterlily Cologne to pulse points for a light, airy presence that blossoms over time. The top notes are fleeting but bright, so reapply if you want to keep the freshness throughout the day.
