Base Notes
A scent naturally female more evident by the floral composition therein. An incredible smell, a projection light and comfortable that combines perfectly with our daily lives, and indeed, an aquatic that evokes peace.
Wonderful jasmine note. Loved it!
And here's the official By Kilian description of this fragrance:
An olfactive impression of an aquatic flower sitting next to a pod of water lillies...a moment of delicacy.
Water Calligraphy is a harmonious duo of sparkling grapefruit zest and reseda blossom underlined by dewy warer lily to awaken the senses. In the heart, the majestic jasmine sambac enhances the evanescent magnolia giving an ipression of quiet water sliding over cardamom and vetiver, like chinese ink slides over rice paper.
Well Mr. Kilian, this one is indeed delicate, the flowery combination in the opening mixed with a prominent grapefruit note makes my senses tingle to a zen state in a beautiful way (like resting in one of those famous chinese lakes) but sadly the magic just stays in the opening, where in the heart we have a dull Avon's type of smell that makes me angry since the transition is so unexpected in a bad way.
The first spray of this I loved-as it was initially light, citrusy, with iris notes and grapefruit
However, as it dried down, the grapfruit and other citrus in this perfume came off extremely strong on me, taking over the other notes, and all I smelled was the cirtus/grapefruit.
I like the first half-life of this perfume, but not the secnd half!
I do believe it is my body chemistry though, as these has happened with other perfumes with strong grapefruit notes.
I want to like this due to the other notes, specifically, the hint of iris.
I notice the collection descriptions at the actual retailers have different descriptions with much more notes listed than here or anywhere online.
beautiful :))
love at first test
I can not believe by kilian has brought out an aquatic floral, whilst its very nice and well done I would not consider it full bottle worthy. The Water lily is very prominent in the fragrance all the way through.
I am a massive by kilian fan so it pains me to say that I was not bowled over by this latest perfume.
I don't write about fragrances without testing/knowing them, but - OH MY GODS, IT LOOKS JUST STUNNING.
Too bad that for fragrance with the most intriguing name [The Lotus Flower and the King Dragon] I'll have to wait three more years...
I'm so happy for their new line, though.
