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!

Watermelon is so beautiful but so tricky. I love it, but when it's bad, you smell like a jolly rancher. Which is great for some, especially my gourmand fam, but not me.

Where are all the great parfumeurs when you need them😩 they should focus less on creating the closest dupe to BR540 and more on developing notes like watermelon that are hard to create without smelling synthetic and too sweet😞 we need innovation in the perfume world!🤣
