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.
You will receive a 1/2ml sample (1ml sample vial filled half full) of each of the fragrances in this sampler.
- Demeter Watermelon Lollipop Cologne - Watermelon is about the mouth-puckering contrast between sugary-sweet fresh fruit and the eye-popping tartness you get in a watermelon lollipop.
- Le Monde Gourmand Melon D’Eau EDP – An aromatic fruity fragrance that launched in 2020. With notes of watermelon, raspberry, custard and lemon zest.
- Obscura Hortus The Haunters Perfume Oil – The perfumer created this scent to remind her of being a kid, and that exhilarating fear of passing by the haunted house down the street. The house that looms, consumes all of the daylight, and moans when the wind blows. What a perfect haven for ghosts and ghouls!! The scent is something like a childhood autumn with your old friends. Your shared (and fought over) candies and snacks. The chalk hopscotch lines drawn on sidewalks, and distant shrieks from a game in the back baseball field. Trading cards stuck in bicycle spokes. A red vampire cape blowing in the wind as you ride. You coast down the hill, see the old haunted house set back from the sidewalk, shrouded by brambles and overgrown hedges. Hit the brakes, even though you don’t want to, even though the house scares you, even though you’re certain you’ll see some ghoul peeking from an upstairs window, or shadow on the front porch which will give you nightmares for the rest of your life. Your heart pounds. There’s nothing to see... maybe next time!!!!! With notes of popcorn, candy cigarettes, watermelon bubblegum, ripe red apples, green pears, fresh ginger, moss, bergamot and cognac.
- Pixie Spell Essentials Watermelon Sugar High Perfume Oil – A vegan blend of fresh, crisp watermelon, pink sugar, light lime zest, mint, vanilla crystals and sweet musk.
