Sunwater Lancaster for women

This was the first "womanly" perfume i received from my mother so it brings back great memories :) It's a sweet, floral, yet tangy and spicy scented perfume. Love it!

Sunwater takes its cues from Yatagan by Caron with its ridiculous wet celery top notes. Even Yatagan's celery is staid by comparison. Eventually a sweet jasmine accord wells up underneath the bitter vegetal greenery. I suspect the sugary heathen that lurks in the shade is the ylang-ylang, or maybe even the thin amber in the base. The scent doesn't really work, but at least it tries to be both green, woody, and clean. Most perfumers just throw a drop of cis-3-Hexanal in a gallon of dihydromyrcenol and call it a day. Here we have some sweet flowers blooming in the drydown of what has to be the weirdest bitter-green opening I've ever encountered. It gets points for trying to end on a high note, despite starting off on a real low.

This, to my nose, has a huge note of celery. I loved this stuff, I used to practically bath in it. It's very very summery in a kind of hot garden thats had the hose put on it way. Beach/poolside stuff.
My husband did'nt like the celery note at all so I stopped wearing it. Although I think he called it cucumber (which it also doesn't have in it :/
If we had a row I used to put this perfume on and say "You've upset me, so now I shall smell of celery."
Then we'd laugh.

This was one of the first "adult" perfumes my mom allowed me to buy. I felt so pretty wearing it. It's like a warm spring day. Makes you smile. I received many compliments while wearing it.

I loved this so much ,I wore it every day , when I lived in the Grenadines ..it reminds me of happy times !!! I can still find it in my home country , when i see it I am gonna buy it all !!!

just a note for those who keep looking for sunwater. as you know, it was discontinued, but give a try to Misonni Acqua. To me it smelled very much alike. And I was a great fan of Sunwater. Unfortunately, i order one of the last bottles on a site of discounts (not this one) and it didn't smell exactly the same. it was a tester and i think that they had kept it for too much time, so the scent was a bit altered.

Sunwater starts off on a bitter and herbal note, the opening resembles a mixture of basil and rosemary mingled with lime to me. But within mere minutes, it develops into a fresh flower bouquet. As a fragrance of floral greens it eventually turns very soft and refreshing. If you can get past those first few notes, you will enjoy this fragrance.

This is one of the worst fragrances I've ever smelled. It smells like a scorched coffee bean or rubber. It's sharp and it burns my nose. I think I'll wash it off now.

This was the first perfume I bought for myself when I was a student. It was quite expensive and I remember that the shop-assistant didn't want to believe that I am willing to spend that much on a perfume...
It's a light, pleasant, cheerful fragrance that can brighten your day. Very discreet though, it's like a veil.

This is a very light fresh perfume, for summer hot days I use it a lot.
Have used it for years already.
Sarts out with citrus-apple note and than turns to a light lily of the valley-jasmine smell, very light though.
However lily of the valley is not in these notes here.
It is not for you if you like a strong perfume.
