Guiding Water

“Guiding Water” is easily my favorite release by The Harmonist, as well as one of my favorite Aquatic Florals out there in general. I will say, as a fan and owner of both the Parfum & Eau De Parfum versions, I find the Parfum version to be superior. And sure, the general strength of sillage and performance are a part of that, but there are little differences in the actual notes/structure that I pick up on. I thoroughly enjoy both but to me atleast, the Eau De Parfum tends to read as more of a clean, soapier Floral fragrance than the Parfum, which is more of a true Aquatic Floral. It’s procession of lush, white florals of cyclamen, water lotus, and lily are both led and tempered by a fresh, green watermelon rind note—stabilizing the composition’s Aquatic appeal. This is a gorgeous fragrance; it’s strong enough to wear throughout all four seasons, but it truly shines in the heat in my opinion.

The opening was spectacular! Gorgeous watermelon accord and pleasingly more pronounced than in Jusbox Feel n Chill. I own both Feel N Chill and Ege/Ailaio and this feels like a fusion between the two, but spectacular in its own right and with the lovely inclusion of watery white floral. A unique and refreshing summer fragrance. Totally full bottle worthy if I didn’t already own the other two!

Straight up 1990's Calvin Klein vibes. Great summer perfume. Minimalistic, fresh, professional fragrance perfect for the office. I have a decant of this and wouldn't shell out more money for a full bottle as it's just not unique enough for my tastes. Really great for what it is though and if you like clean, ozonic fragrances you'll likely really love this.

I loved it! A fresh perfume, not too sweet, super elegant, doesn't bother anyone, perfect for hot summer days! You can feel the watermelon but it mixes with the other notes and the smell is wonderful. The final evolution of this perfume is magical! It feels like being in heaven, cozy, delicate, clean!♥️♥️♥️

This is so comfortable and relaxing. It is impressive how you can really smell the water, I had no idea that water could smell so lovely, like floral water. A little bit spicy at the beginning, very soft but powerful and long lasting. It reminds me of a spa at a resort by the beach. Love
