The story behind the bottle.
Guiding Water by The Harmonist was launched in 2016 as a Floral Aquatic fragrance designed to evoke the freshness and tranquility of water. Created by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny, it opens with ozonic and aquatic notes that feel like a crisp splash on your skin, followed by the subtle sweetness of watermelon and lotus. The heart is dominated by cyclamen and jasmine, adding a soft floral touch before settling into a musky base with a hint of white pepper for warmth.
Guiding Water has a light sillage and a moderate longevity. For best results, apply it directly to pulse points like wrists and neck for a subtle yet lasting effect. It reads better close to the skin rather than filling a room, so a few well-placed sprays are sufficient.
