What wearers say
“first impression(rollerball):upon application it smells like rain (currently it is 17 C and raining outside, this may affect it), similar to jo malones bluebell fragrance-which I could not bring myself to like, but it is also a skinlike scent-.I took a shower shortly after wearing it, after which I got a dry down (it lasted trough the shower,surprisingly), that smelled similar to miyabi woman (annayake). If this is the eventual dry down, it would make me very happy, since this frag is way cheaper.”
“Super fresh feminine opening, dries down to a unisex soapy musk. Great for warm humid weather, or exercise when you need to smell like you showered. Name itself depicts the scents. It’s like walking in a garden with a pond with lilies, while sipping your lemon peppermint water, wearing a white or yellow summer dress. For the price and experience, great buy for me! Especially that I got it for like half the retail price.”
“I have to admit, Waterlily Tea Dress is quite similar to Diptyque Lilyphea. The differences become more noticeable during the dry-down. Waterlily Tea Dress stays fairly consistent from start to finish, whereas Lilyphea evolves into something more sophisticated and engaging as it settles.That said, when it comes to price and longevity, Waterlily Tea Dress clearly wins. Overall, if you’re drawn to the idea of Lilyphea but hesitant about the price (and not requiring that much for a unique scent), this could be a near-perfect dupe.”
