According to Fragrantica, Watermelon is part of group Fruits, Vegetables and Nuts and its order profile is an extremely fresh note related to Calone or similar in profile synthetic molecules. Most fragrances in perfume use watermelon as an aquatic. The watermelon adds an illusion of water to the fragrance kind of like sliced cucumber or a generic melon scent. It is an aromachemical called Calone1951 which is also known as watermelon ketone. It is aquatic, sheer, fresh and a little bit fruity. But it does seem that the indie perfumers are starting to use watermelon as an actual note in perfumes now.

- Stone and Wit Why Would You Make This Perfume Oil – From the perfumer – “I don’t remember how I came across this hilariously awful review of making smoked watermelon in The Guardian, but that night I dreamt of making a smoked watermelon perfume. I immediately wrote down the idea and ingredients and promptly forgot about it. What a terrible idea. What a stupid, awful, bad, terrible, terribad idea. Until I decided to start composing it. A fruity, sweet-umami gourmand? Maybe this isn’t so bad. There definitely aren’t many savory gourmands... Yeah, I like how this worked out. For the next two days, the watermelon sits in the fridge in a bath of brine. When people come over I bring it out like an underwhelming Victorian curio. Here it is. It’s the watermelon I have carved to look like a ham. What have I been up to? Not much, but I did carve a watermelon into a ham." It is a savory, smoky, salty, fruity fragrance with notes of watermelon, lime, bergamot, paprika, raisins, apples and Sezchuan pepper.
