About the Fragrance
Clive Christian’s Noble XX Water
Lily Eau De Parfum is the type of big, luxurious floral chypre that
French perfume companies just don’t make anymore. If you mourn the
fall-from-fashion of powerful, statement-making scents like Eau de Soir
(Sisley), Odalisque or Number One (both Parfums de Nicolai), then say
hello to Water Lily. This is Perfume with a capital P; the kind worn
both by rich ladies to church and women dressed to kill on a night out,
all glossy red lips and high heels.
A burst of hairspray aldehydes ushers in a huge floral credenza
of creamy tuberose flushed with the salty, aquatic freshness of water
lily, all stretched over a surprisingly animalic base of cashmere woods,
musk, and patchouli. The name ‘Water Lily’ makes it sound as if it
might be a light, watery scent, but no - it has the density of velvet
folded many times over. Green leaves add a soapy freshness but fail to
make much of a dent in the thick, salty creaminess of the golden
florals. If you loved the potent civety floral chypres of the past – Eau
de Soir, Giorgio, Odalisque – and mourn what the restrictions on
oakmoss has done to this genre, then we highly recommend you get
acquainted with Clive Christian’s Noble XX Water Lily. To us, Water Lily
is less a perfume than the bugle call of a woman confident in her own
worth, allure, and place in the world.
