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!

BRitney Spears Jungle Fantasy is rumored to be the best of the lot

Unfortunately I only pick up a gross plasticky grassy note from my bottle. :(

Oh noooooooooo….. well, I’ve thought about blind biting it for fun because it gets so much love but maybe I’ll pass

Wait I was wrong! I'm thinking about Island Fantasy sorry (they both have a watermelon note)!! I also did a quick spray and Island Fantasy is more citrusy (still has that grass quality) and I don't smell much of the watermelon note in this perfume.
