Water Calligraphy Perfume

Details and Care

Water Calligraphy was launched by Kilian and debuted in 2012. This floral aquatic fragrance pairs sour and bracing citrus accords with aquatic and creamy floral notes. Their fresh and green tones complement each other, supported by a dry, earthy and lightly smoky base. This skillful blend creates a versatile fragrance. It's both exotic and well-balanced, perfect for daytime and warmer seasons.

Water Calligraphy is part of the French perfume house's Asian Tales collection. Designed by French master perfumer Calice Becker, this series features unisex fragrances mingling fresh, floral and wood notes. Each scent is a tribute to a cultural or spiritual aspect of several East Asian societies. Kilian released the Asian Tales collection between 2012 and 2015. Like other Asian Tales scents, Water Calligraphy comes in a simple and elegant square black bottle.

Questions and Answers

Q: How does Water Calligraphy smell?

A: Water Calligraphy is a clean, bright and energetic fragrance that features water lily, magnolia, vetiver and grapefruit. Together, these floral, fresh and woody notes create a calm and rejuvenating scent that evokes light ocean breezes skimming across tall waves of beachgrass and fragrant summer blooms.

Q: Where do you apply Water Calligraphy?

A: To increase the longevity of the fragrance, spray onto your major pulse points such as behind your ears, at the base of your neck, on the wrists, behind the knees and in the inner elbows.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration?

A: As an eau de parfum, Water Calligraphy is more intense. Because its composition includes more essential oils than an eau de toilette, its fragrance is much stronger. You can adjust application strength to suit your tastes. Apply normally for a longer-wearing scent or go a little lighter for a more subdued scent.

A: As an EDP, Water Calligraphy is more concentrated than EDTs from similar fragrance families. While floral aquatic scents like it tend to be on the lighter side, its higher essential oil content adds longevity. Water Calligraphy should last between four and six hours, but body chemistry, environment and application strength can impact its wear time.

Q: What fragrances smell similar?
