XX Art Nouveau Water Lily

Clive Christian Perfume XX Art Nouveau Water Lily is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. XX Art Nouveau Water Lily opens with Aldehydes and Green, settles into a heart of Iris, Tuberose, Water Lily, and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, and Musk. Clive Christian Perfume's XX Art Nouveau Water Lily carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a sublime, poetic journey through a dewy garden, while others are met with a jarring, 'old lady' vibe. It's an airy, green floral with impressive staying power but divides opinions sharply.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate sillage and fresh, clean character make it acceptable for office wear, but its high performance means it could be a bit much if oversprayed. It leans casual due to its natural, 'walk in nature' feel, although some may find it too delicate for formal events even with good longevity.

About

Opens with an effervescent burst of aldehydes and fresh green notes, like morning dew on a meadow. The heart blooms with an inviting blend of water lily, iris, and creamy tuberose, lending a delicate white floral and powdery softness. This ethereal core then settles into a grounded base of earthy vetiver, mysterious patchouli, and soft musk, adding warmth without losing its delicate aquatic character.
