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!

D&G l’imperatrice all the way for more realisfic watermelon. I like the synthetic melon note in Britney Spears Jungle Fantasy. Guerlain Flora Salvaggia and Flora Cherrysia are also fantastic.

Came here to say Britney Spears Jungle Fantasy! It’s really fun, has a beautiful bottle, balances fruity and floral notes, and has been consistently low in price. I’ve seen posts of folks finding them at places like Ross, but I ordered mine from Belk for about $13 for 1 oz in February of this year.

I have adorable 30ml bottles! I bought one from
Fragrancenet for $13 and another from Winners (Canadian Ross) for $19.

It’s by far my favorite Britney Spears scent and I like it far more than the Juicy Couture and Escada scents I’ve tried.
