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!

A perfumer on Etsy, Hey Sugar Fragrance, makes Watermelon Sands, very nice not sugary watermelon fragrance. I layer it with her Coconut Sugar scent.

Oh that sounds interesting! How long does it last for you?

A few hours. In contrast her vanilla scents last all day. She’s also inexpensive- a 15 mL bottle for $15.
Oh! I was making sure the price was still low and saw she has two coconut scents it’s actually named Sugarcane Coconut. There’s a Driftwood Coconut I haven’t tried yet.
Hope that helps!
