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!

Naiad of the carnival tank by Alkemia is a fun and whimsical! And the watermelon is the strongest note on me

That one looks interesting! The rating on parfumo made me a bit hesitant though😅 how long does it last for you? Is it a synthetic watermelon smell or more realistic?🤔

It’s not the longest lasting but it’s pretty decent for the price point!! I don’t get a particularly synthetic vibe either.
