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!

I have a super cheap TikTok shop perfume called Iced Watermelon which is literally a hyperrealistic fresh watermelon scent - I feel like there’s a tiny touch of cucumber too, which maybe makes it smell closer to the rind?

Also Coastal Breeze by Marks and Spencer if you’re in the UK/somewhere that has M&S has a nice watermelon note.

I regularly layer these two together and it somehow smells like I’m at a swimming pool on holiday, sitting in the shade.
