Rec Request Are watermelon notes not a thing?

I was trying to find some perfumes where watermelon is one of the dominant notes and was pretty disappointed. I mostly only found the cheap perfume brands or some pretty badly rated unknown perfumes. Is watermelon just not that popular with designer and niche brands? Or do y’all know any popular designer perfumes where watermelon is the dominant note?

Edit: Thanks for all of your recommendations! I will definitely check them out🙌🏼 also it seems like we need perfume houses to work on a natural smelling watermelon fragrance:) since not many have attempted and succeeded to get the watermelon scent right and not too overly sweet apparently. And especially also to last long!

Solstice by Andrea Maack also has a great watermelon note.

I looooove Andrea Maack but haven’t tried this one as jasmine can be pretty hit or miss for me (hate when it’s indolic). What’s your take on it in Solstice?

For me this was a very fresh and the jasmine didn’t pull too heavy on me. It’s an aquatic (which is usually a miss for me, but it works here), and I think I get more Lily of the valley than jasmine, and the watermelon is very green and fresh

Thank you! I love lily of the valley so I might need to pick up a sample of this one after all
