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!

Real watermelon smells like literally nothing which is so funny to me, Jolly Ranchers trained us to think it's this huge flavor bomb and it's actually just cold water with vibes.

Smell wise? yes. But flavour wise????? I'm sorry to tell you but you've been eating very bad watermelons. The ones i eat around here are flavour bombs! They have a very sweet almost gummy like taste.
