AERIN Waterlily Sun is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Waterlily Sun opens with Green Notes and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Water Lily and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk. AERIN's Waterlily Sun carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a clean, green waterlily scent that's divisive. Some find it fresh and uplifting, perfect for summer, while others are put off by a 'bug spray' or 'air freshener' quality and question its value for money given the lacklustre performance.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and inoffensive green-floral profile, make it suitable for office wear and casual daytime activities. However, the lack of projection and 'clean' nature means it's less ideal for dates or formal events where a more impactful scent might be preferred.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a sun-dappled pond, bursting with life. Waterlily Sun opens with a sharp, zesty bergamot and crisp green notes, quickly softened by the delicate, aqueous bloom of water lily. A clean jasmine adds a subtle floral heart, settling into a light, fluffy musk that lingers gently on the skin, evoking a sense of calm and natural freshness.
