Lanvin Water Lily is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Pierre-Constantin Guéros. Water Lily opens with Grapefruit and Pomegranate, settles into a heart of Water Lily and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk and Sandalwood. Lanvin's Water Lily carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, clean aquatic floral, while others dismiss it as synthetic and forgettable, citing poor performance. If you're after a subtle, fresh scent for everyday, and enjoy watery florals, it could be a winner - just don't expect it to turn heads.

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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 serene pond at dawn, with dewy water lilies gently unfurling. Lanvin's Water Lily opens with a sparkling burst of pink grapefruit and juicy pomegranate, quickly transitioning to a delicate heart where the aquatic freshness of water lily blends seamlessly with the soft, ethereal notes of jasmine. It dries down to a subtle, clean base of creamy sandalwood and a whisper of musk, leaving a light and airy trail.
