   I feel like this one out of the whole line. Smells the most like actual perfuem. I smelt the entire line yesterday, at the whole food store. This and the “Pikake lei” were the only two that stood out for me.
   I feel that this one goes through phases..
   I get some citrus, and green tea notes mostly,then a “perfuemy lily. I don’t know whats up with the tester bottle smelling different from the actual bottle.
   In the tester, I got more fresh water lilly. When I smelt it I instantly envisioned myself, twirling around in the spring breeze. I’m not getting that “water lilly” in my bottle. The “perfumey lilly” is a little too dominant for me. But it somehow adds some “oldschool” sophistication. It does smell like Elizabeth Arden’ s “Green tea”. Which I’m not a fan of. After it settles it turns into, a subtle jasmine incense.

   This perfume is a shapeshifter on me. For the first half hour, it’s a bright, aquatic lily with a large sillage for an oil, about an arm’s length. Then for a while it’s a soft, herbal green tea that makes me think of a more natural version of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. At the end, I’m left with a soft, clean, skinlike white musk that smells more like a brighter Egyptian Musk than a sneezy laundry musk. It only lasts about 4 hours on me, but a little rollerball vial is easy to reapply. It’s not my very favorite Kuumba Made (Arabian Rose 🙂 ), but it’s a fantastic warm-weather scent.

   I definitely pick up on the aquatic notes on this perfume, but it is predominately a strong floral. I might find the smell pleasant on someone passing by me, but I wouldn’t personally like to smell like this.

   KM Water Lily is one of those fragrances that fly under the radar; sitting on health food store shelves gathering dust or clicked off while sifting through the thousands of fragrance oils on online shops. But I feel it’s my duty to put perfumistas here onto this little undiscovered gem, though the reviewer below me described it so well! 🙂
   Although this is an aqueous floral, on my skin it is more of a “sea foam green” rather than a “true blue” fragrance, if you will. I’d describe it as freshing, beachy, sunny, and perhaps slightly watery. At first spray, my nose picks up a hint of sweet basil and citruses (my guess would be lemon.) It’s a bubbly opening that leads to an aromatic heart of water lily. Even those who don’t like aquatic fragrances (like me!) might like this one. More mainstream fragrances with this vibe that comes to my mind are Armani Acqua di Gioia, OdlR Live in Love, BBW White Citrus, or JM Jessica McClintock, etc. This little beauty stayed about 4 hours on my skin, leaving a faint trace of white musk behind. It also has moderate projection, which is amazing for a fragrance oil that costs so little. I don’t mind throwing one in my purse and touching up anytime I need to. I’d say it can be used any time of the year as it will wrap you in a fresh cloud regardless of cold or heat. Though it is in no way masculine on me, I’d also recommend it as a unisex fragrance as it has those citrus-aromatic, androgynous undertones that makes it perfect for anyone’s skin.
   You can test and purchase this at health food stores or online stores like Amazon as well.

   This is a “watery” floral scent, meaning whatever aquatic note it shares with similar oils with the word “rain” or “Oriental” in their names. When I smell it, I feel as if the temperature has dropped a few degrees and the light has gone a little dimmer. Not a powdery floral or overly bright and citrusy-white floral. Hard to my finger on, sorry. Much like this scent. That’s not to say it is shy or quiet. Much like a woman across the room, dressed head to toe in soothing aqua, Water Lily has a presence.
