I love this so much! I already tried its pair, Dark Amber and Ginger Lily, and loved that to bits too. While this is very different from the latter, I was so pleased to find that it smells just as divine.
I got a decant of this after an initial sniff that, while I liked it, didn’t really leave that much of an impression yet. I also have a lotus flower SPF face mist from Korean brand The Yeon, whose scent for some reason is very familiar to me but I couldn’t place from where. Anyway, the face mist’s scent makes me so nostalgic and I love it so much, and I guessed it must be the scent of lotus flower, since that is apparently one of its components. That’s what made Lotus Blossom and Water Lily catch my eye in the first place.
I’m so glad I came across this, because it gets BIG love from me! I first used this today, and without yet reading the notes, I was surprised by the initial burst of sparkling citrus notes, with no floral trace yet. If I was disappointed at first, it was because I was expecting the lotus flower scent right away. But really, I found it to be such a lovely, fresh opening that I loved in itself. A great way to start the day!
And then it settled into a soft watery floral and the lotus blossom finally hit me. LOVE! Indeed, it is similar to that face mist that I so love, but blended with the other floral notes, but still standing out.
A little later, I caught an amber base, which I didn’t expect since I haven’t read about the notes of this fragrance. Still more love from me, since I love amber. This is softer than the amber in Dark Amber and Ginger Lily, but I think will make a fine transition into the latter when sprayed later in the day as an evening scent. I’ve nowhere to go tonight, but another time, I should try transitioning into DA&GL after wearing LB&WL during the day.
I don’t get any woody notes, but find this to be a fresh aquatic floral that is quite unique compared to other scents I’ve sniffed (not really an expert though, a limited range for now). Or at least, this combination of notes are not as common to my nose as a lot of other fragrances. It is softly sweet and lighthearted, and would make a lovely summer day scent when you want to steer away from the usual tropical or beachy summer scents.

This is a subtle and refreshing woody-floral scent. The grapefruit and orange are very present, almost as strong as the lotus and water lily. Despite the fact that it has a watery-fresh feel about it, the incense and gaiac wood provide a slight darkness to anchor those lighter notes. The result is a bouquet of mildly sweet, fresh florals blended smoothly with a warm and smoky base. I find this to be one of Jo Malone’s more unique scents…sadly the staying power is characteristically poor of Jo Malone’s line.

I loved the fragrance but the lasting power is terrible on me, even worse than other Jo Malone fragrances. It’s a lovely fragrance and I wish they’d bring it back in a stronger formulation.

I received the set as a gift and didn’t care for it initially. I then thought about the fact that there was a paired set, which is unusual for a Jo Malone scent. I normally don’t like to layer but I decided to see if the pair was a message. Combining this with the Dark Amber-Ginger Lily is amazing. The scent is dark and spicy but richly floral, where the two separately are pleasant but not especially impressive. I highly recommend the experiment and the result.

This was presented together with Dark Amber and Ginger Lily. I like them both in spite of being so different!
This one is so soft fresh floral with a good lasting power.
I like that it is not acquatic/ozonic. You can smell the watery sensation from flowers as if you smelled thick white flowers dripping water coming from a (clean) pond! So nice! It makes a good pair day/night with Dark Amber and Ginger Lily.

This fragrance from Jo Malone stole my money from my wallet! When I sniffed it I found it was amazing scent. Citrus top notes from mandarin orange, bergamot and grapefruit. clean-sweet-aquatic middle note from bamboo,lotus blossom and water lily. Smoky dry down from amber, musk and temple incense that combine well with its duo – Dark amber and ginger lily. In my opinion, It is a perfect unisex fragrance for casual summer daytime. Soft, clean and aquatic.
Reminds me Claude Monet’s japanese bridge painting. It does go well with my skin chemistry and will be perfect in evening if you wear with Dark amber and ginger lily – -which is already in my wish lists.
