*lol* funny, I haven't seen you both here, vanessa and froeken lilla!

thanks to krokodilgena, I agree.

dew is never a connotation with massmarket perfumes, or?

Since I don't much care for aquatic accords, I prefer none of them

I find “Watery” just to be as articulate an Adjective as “Peppery” Or “Floral”

Have you never been on a Body of water…. (Lake, River, Ocean, Sea????) and have you never inhaled the lovely, shall we say… AQUATIC, scent of fresh water as the wind blows over it? Yes Water has it's own smell, a very evocative and magical one at that and Water being so all enveloping on this planet, I think it an Accurate and Apt Descriptive!

Perhaps “Aquatic” or “Liquid” or “Buoyant” or “Fluid” may be better for those whom are tired of “WATERY” but i'll live with it, Personally i prefer Aquatic, but that's just me!

LOL — pyramus, you're right, but in a way I appreciate it because it's a clue about what I'll find when I smell it

and then there are all the “frozen” and “icy” notes, the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Paris Hilton's with “frozen apple” but I know I've seen it several other times

It makes me think of the frozen fruits in the frozen foods aisle of the grocery store.

It's not just about this one scent, however it's translated. I'm objecting to the inescapable use of the word in perfume marketing these days: in, to name only a few, the recent Joop Homme Chill Out and Calvin Klein Euphoria Blossom (both “watery fruits”), Clean Warm Cotton (“watery fresh pear”), Vera Wang Look (“watery greens”, truly disgusting, like a sodden salad), and Harajuku Lovers Love (“watery peony”).
YUCK.
It doesn't sound good. It's overused. Find a new adjective, perfume pedlars!

also, btw
Wasser is water, and dew is like Tau
