XX Art Nouveau Water Lily by Clive Christian, launched in 2018, is a Floral Aldehyde fragrance that captures the essence of delicate beauty and sophistication. The composition opens with aldehydes and green leaves, creating an ethereal freshness that sets the stage for the rich heart notes of tuberose and water lily. These floral accords are softened by heliotrope and iris, before settling into a base of vetiver, patchouli, and cashmere musk, which adds warmth without heaviness.

Application Tips
Given its strong sillage and eternal longevity, one or two sprays are enough to make a statement. The fragrance projects well across a room, so applying it lightly ensures that it remains an elegant presence rather than overwhelming.

The story behind the bottle.
A sunlit conservatory where water lilies float on the surface of a serene pond, and every breath is filled with the crisp scent of green leaves.
